Today I came across a couple of users changing the release ordering of stuff packs for The Sims 2, presumably on the basis that The Sims 2: Holiday Party Pack isn't branded as a stuff pack despite its content resembling one. Up to now we have treated Holiday Party Pack as the first stuff pack for The Sims 2.

Some articles are referring to stuff packs naturally as if Holiday Party Pack is considered as the first official stuff pack while some are claiming that "Stuff pack X" is the "Y stuff pack for The Sims 2 (Z with Holiday Party Pack)". This is not only inconsistent but rather confusing too.

Do we want to keep referring to Holiday Party Pack as the first stuff pack while all succeeding SPs are labeled second, third and so forth, while possibly noting on the article that it's not branded as a stuff pack, or do we want to not count Holiday Party Pack as a stuff pack at all but rather as something else (in which case, The Sims 2: Family Fun Stuff would be the first official stuff pack)?

I think the best approach would be to classify the Holiday Party Pack as a stuff pack. The numbering of stuff packs ultimately isn't all that important. I think a clarifying statement on Holiday Party Pack would be best, explaining that while it is was not referred to as a stuff pack, it essentially is one and that's how we choose to classify it. -- LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 23:39, March 18, 2014 (UTC)
