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 "base game.". In [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]], these packs add new objects and new interactions between Sims, and very often include new [[neighborhood]]s, [[life state]]s, and other features. Content packs cannot be installed or played without first installing the appropriate "base game." Content packs usually follow a theme, with new features, objects, music, and styles tailored to that specific theme. Content packs are known by different names depending on the size of the 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]]'' carried forward [[influence]], [[chemistry]], [[fury]], and the [[inventory]].</ref> Stuff packs originated with ''[[The Sims 2]]'', and were released for ''[[The Sims 3]]'' as well.
