A '''content pack'''<ref group="n">"Content pack" is an unofficial term used to refer to this content, as no official term exists</ref> is an addition to a previously-released
==Types of content packs==
===Expansion pack===
An '''expansion pack''' is the most significant content pack available. Expansion packs were introduced with ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large]]'' and have been a staple of the series, with several expansion packs released for ''The Sims'', ''The Sims 2'', ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims
===Game pack===

===Stuff pack===
A '''stuff pack''' is a smaller add-on pack which typically includes only new objects and clothes for Sims, though some stuff packs do include gameplay changes.<ref>''[[The Sims 2: Happy Holiday Stuff]]'' introduces new [[NPC]]s, [[Party|parties]], and [[interaction]]s.</ref><ref>Stuff packs for ''[[The Sims 2]]''
===Kit===
A '''kit''' is a very small add-on pack which only adds a few new items, in addition to gameplay changes in some kits. It was introduced in ''[[The Sims 4: Bust the Dust Kit]]''. Kits are intended to be smaller than stuff packs, and are only available as downloadable content.
===World pack===
A '''world pack''' is both a digital and a physical add-on pack, introduced with ''The Sims 3 [[Riverview]]'', which was the only free world pack. World packs add a new world for ''[[The Sims 3]]'' with the addition of new objects, clothes and styles. Each world pack also offers a couple of brand new gameplay objects that are geared towards the pack's major theme. They are a part of The Sims 3 Store and can be also purchased with Simpoints. They are sold separately and as a part of '''Bundles''' and '''Starter Packs'''.
===Free pack===
A '''free pack''' is a pack that is offered to players free of charge. These are usually smaller than a stuff pack. Only one free pack has been released so far: ''[[The Sims 4: Holiday Celebration Pack]]''. The ''Holiday Celebration Pack'' was updated with new objects at the same time [[The Sims 4/Patch 27|Patch 27]] was released for'' The Sims 4''. They are not to be confused with ''The Sims 3'''s free store objects.
===Compilation pack===
A '''Compilation pack''' is a collection of one or more individual expansion and/or stuff packs. '''Bundles''', '''starter packs''', and '''deluxe editions''' are generally all forms of compilations. Compilation packs have been released only for
Compilations sometimes, but do not always, contain the base game and one or more expansion packs. This bundling can appeal to people who do not yet own the base game, but are interested in acquiring it and one or more expansions. Compilations are often released several years after the initial release of the games which make up the bundle. The compilation is usually priced closer to that of a full expansion pack, where each of the component expansions or stuff packs would have had its price reduced over time. However, compilations can be released concurrently with the release of one of the component games; this is often simply the new expansion pack paired up with the base game, and sold for a higher price than the expansion alone. Compilation packs typically install all the collected packs simultaneously, eliminating the need to install each pack individually.
