EA App replaces The Sims 4 bundles with Stack & Save discounts
EA's new Stack & Save lets PC and Mac players stack eligible Sims 4 packs for bigger cart discounts, replacing the rigid one-expansion, one-game-pack, one-stuff-pack bundle.
Stack & Save has replaced The Sims 4’s old Build Your Bundle setup inside the EA App, and the biggest change is practical: PC and Mac players can now stack eligible packs in one cart for a larger discount instead of being locked into the old one-Expansion Pack, one-Game Pack, one-Stuff Pack formula. The feature is exclusive to the EA App launcher, and the early preview inside the app showed one offer that added 50 percent off when select Expansion Packs were bought together, including High School Years and For Rent.
That makes the new system broader than the bundle tool Sims players have used before. The old Windows and macOS bundle FAQ required exactly one Expansion Pack, one Game Pack and one Stuff Pack, with Kits excluded and console players unable to bundle at all. Stack & Save loosens that rule set. Expansion Packs, Game Packs and Stuff Packs can qualify, and buyers are no longer forced into a mixed three-pack combo, which means a cart can lean heavily into one category or mix several categories if the discount works out better than a standard purchase.
The catch is what does not count. Kits, Creator Kits, Maker Packs and existing bundles are excluded, so Stack & Save is aimed at classic DLC shopping rather than the newer Marketplace side of The Sims economy. EA’s storefront still separates content into Expansion Packs, Game Packs, Stuff Packs, Kits and Bundles, while The Sims Marketplace is the in-game storefront for downloadable content that includes Maker Packs from approved Sims Makers alongside EA-created packs. EA’s Sims news hub introduced The Sims Maker Program and The Sims 4 Marketplace on March 3, 2026, then followed with a June 24 update about makers bringing packs to the Marketplace.
For players deciding what to do next, the answer is simple. Buy now if the wishlist is heavy with eligible Expansion Packs, Game Packs or Stuff Packs on PC or Mac and Stack & Save beats the old bundle math. Wait if the cart is built around Kits, Creator Kits, Maker Packs or console access, because this discount does nothing there. If you used to chase the old bundle just to make the price work, reorganize the wishlist around the packs you actually want, because Stack & Save finally rewards a fuller cart instead of forcing one of each.
