Like Stardew and the Sims had a baby.

Just $145 to own it all, while it’s on sale.

At least they all appear to be cosmetics like furniture, outfits, and skins for pets. Judging by the DLC descriptions I don't see any gameplay locked behind paywalls.

Agreed that those prices are absurd though.

Holy shit, I was thinking about getting this game. Guess I'm taking it off my wishlist.

If it matters they're all skins that don't really matter, purely cosmetic. I bought and played the game, on year 2.

If you're opposed on principle, I get it, but IMHO extra cosmetic packs aren't predatory. What you get for your money is clear (unlike loot boxes) and you aren't paywalled behind new content (so no FOMO).

Eh, I dunno man, it kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth to support games with tons of DLC even if just cosmetic, the game has to be really good to compensate and even then I'm not a fan of it. I miss the times when cosmetics like this would be locked behind an in-game challenge or achievement.

Yeah that's fair.

It feels bad to see this giant wall of DLCs, just feels like a cash grab. I appreciate the transparency anyway, and I don't have to participate to enjoy it.
