The Sims 1 (2000) had 7 DLC. The Sims 2 (2004) had 18 DLC. Halo 2 (2004) had several multiplayer map pack DLC. Doom 3 (2004) had at least one DLC. Star Wars Battlefront 1 (2004) & 2 (2005), KotOR (2003), and The Clone Wars (2002) all had DLC. Practically every sports game on the original Xbox had roster DLC.
I think DLC were more common than people remember, even if its not to the scale it is today.
On PC, yes. That’s basically what an expansion pack was. But Sims 2 DLC was absolutely ridiculous in comparison. I realize I put ‘Sims’ in my original post, but I had been talking about Sims 2. It’s actually mild compared to some games now.
