See how two decades of main Sims Pack releases have allegedly performed.

The mysteries of Sims 4 Pack sale numbers are now known to public, thanks to the alleged leak from a well known Sims insider. The same who’s been reporting on The Sims Project X, predicted The Sims 4 Marketplace and contributed to other speculation articles we’ve posted recently.

From Marketplace performance to new information about The Sims 4 and The Sims 3 Pack sales, this leaker on ATRL could be right about the behind the scenes information about the sales performance. Do take it all with a grain of salt, but if the predictions about The Sims Project X solidify in the future then that will make this information about The Sims Pack sales a lot more credible.

We’ll know for sure as we update you on future talks, but for now let’s break down the statistics and information shared by the insider on The Sims sale numbers:

The Sims Insider Report from May 2nd, 2026

Question: sis do you have any in-depth tea on best selling DLCs for Sims 4 you can spill? 

Sims Insider: I do (however most of my updated numbers are from March 2025 and the rest I only know from asking at certain points).

I’ll try to locate who it was I was talking to, I’m not sure I have exact figures, just ballpark but I’ll need to check. The rest post that are just because I asked. I don’t work for Firemonkeys anymore but still keep in contact with people.

I have data going back to 2003, I’ll answer the rest of your questions when I can locate the data.

What I will say is long term data definitely plays an impact and I’ll explain better later.

Sims Insider: Alrighty this is what I have;

I don’t have exact figures for the Sims 2 expansions outside the Sims 2 Pets Expansion simply because that data was lumped and revealed alongside the console and handheld data. The lowest selling Sims 2 Expansion sold approximately 300k, the Sims 2 Pets sold 1.7m on PC. I swear I have the data but I just can’t find it.

The Sims 3 Expansions sold as follows (don’t have exact figures just rounded up figures)

WA = 2.1m, A = 1.1m, LN: 1.4m, G = 750k, P = 1.2m, ST = 800k, Su = 400k, Se = 900k, U = 1.1m, IP = 350k, ITF = 300k

The Sims 4 Expansions (as of March 2025, but the data could be older)

GTW = 7.8m, GTo = 6.5m, CL = 14.5m, C&D = 17m, S = 15m, GF = 9m, IL = 8.5m, DU = 12m, EL = 5m, SE = 4.1m, CoL = 13m, HSY = 3.5m, GrT = 12m, HR = 7m, FR = 4.5m, LS = 2.8m, L&D = 6m.

Game Packs:

OR = 2.5m, SD = 2.7m, DO = 9m, V = 3.5m, PH = 3m, JA = 4m, SV = 4m, ROM = 3m, SW = 2.1m, DHD = 600k, MWS = 750k, W = 800k.

Stuff Packs I know have data for but I just can’t find it. They on average from memory sold around 1 million or so each at least, none of them fell below 1million.

Kits I do not have any data for but I can ask.

I do know that I’m sure some of these packs have had larger figures that I’ve mentioned but this is the only data I could find so if there’s newer numbers I’ve posted, just go off that.

But that said, they do look at long terms sales because they look at how similar content sold in prior games and also earlier packs as well. They knew Cottage Living would likely sell well because Cats & Dogs sold well.

Life & Death was very much a surprise to everyone as far as I recall. I think the promotion for it was very good, but it had a lot of things people wanted I suppose.

Sims Insider: The numbers before 2020 or so weren’t as high, they exploded during Covid and then further after the releases of Cottage Living and Growing Together and of course Free to Play. People got into the game in those periods and went backwards for packs that interested them I suppose.

The Sims 3 started really strong, World Adventures seemed to either benefit from being the first pack or is the reason why people started to turn away. I know it’s quite a crash prone pack so potentially it did more harm than good.

Would anyone be interested in Kit data or other data? I won’t bother people if no one cares.

Yeah, people do say it’s bad, but people also say it’s meh, good, great, the best etc.

It’s one of those things where if your audience is 10 times bigger, you’re going to have 10 times the amount of people who play it, so even if majority of people like it, you may still end up with millions of players who don’t, which can feel like a lot. EA very much know even if they got backlash for keeping The Sims 4 going as long as they did (and also via X in some capacity), they know the majority of The Sims audience love 4 and don’t to move on. Which makes X such an interesting case as EA is going to have to convince people it’s worth moving over.

Breaking down The Sims Pack Sale Figures

All of the information mentioned above is “alleged” information about The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 Pack sale figures that date back to March 2025. Meaning that data for 1 year and 2 months of alleged data is missing from the total number, including information about Packs released after that (Businesses & Hobbies, Enchanted by Nature, Adventure Awaits, Royalty & Legacy).

The Sims insider reports that they’ve rounded up the numbers as well, but given that enough time has passed since March 2025 they’re all probably higher than reported below already.

Let’s break down all the sale figures revealed in seperate table spreads:

The Sims 3 Pack Sales Figures

The Sims 4 Expansion Pack Sales Figures

The Sims 4 Game Pack Sales Figures

Biggest surprise here? That Star Wars: Journey to Batuu Game Pack was allegedly able to sell over 2 million copies! Much higher than the Game Packs that came after that.

If these sale figures are true, they also might reveal the motive behind The Sims Team switching to publishing strictly Sims 4 Expansion Packs after Werewolves, if we ignore the concept of inflation. We don’t know how well the newer packs like Enchanted by Nature sold, but that information might not be a secret for long if we keep up this pace!

The Sims insider also revealed that Sims 4 Stuff Packs were able to sell around 1 million copies each – “with none of them [that] fell below 1 million”

If we look at the alleged chart data for The Sims 3 Pack sales, we can safely send some packs to the “Khia asylum” – even if they’re popular among many Sims players. It was one of the most “Occult-packed” DLC releases, but The Sims 3 Supernatural was still able to sell only 400 thousand copies, according to the insider.

Funnily enough, even one of the lowest selling Sims 4 Game Packs which is Sims 4 Werewolves was able to generate the same revenue as The Sims 3 Supernatural. Given the 20USD price and double the sales figure. Add millions from Vampires and Realm of Magic and the sale percentage increase is in hundreds!

It’s worth noting that The Sims 3 Expansion Packs were primarily released only for PC and Mac players. The Sims 4 Expansion Packs and other DLC types were introduced in 2018 for Xbox and Playstation players, which could’ve been a significant boost for sales.
