How could you possibly get that out of "Sims 3 players have no incentive to re-buy essentially the same content that they already own?"

That isn't what you actually said so.... kinda hard to respond to that. Here's what you said:

The *real* big selling point for the Sims 3 is the breadth of content available to it. The Sims 4 is still playing catch up on the Sims 3. For example, the expansion pack coming out soon for the Sims 4 will introduce magic into the game, which the Sims 3 has had for seven years. The Sims 4 will probably get werewolves eventually, but it doesn't have them yet. The Sims 4 still doesn't have as many vacation spots as the Sims 3 does (although it does have vacation spots that the Sims 3 doesn't). And so on.

Nothing about not wanting to re-buy in any of that - I looked back through your post to find the sentence you quoted above, but I don't see it. Could be my eyes, but the point I'm making is that while these may seem, to you, like valid reasons for not moving on to the next Sims iteration, they aren't the reasons most of us have for not liking TS4. Most of us moved on from TS1 to TS2 and then from TS2 to TS3 with no real issue that we were playing a base game, and that we'd be buying content we essentially already had in the previous iterations. Having done it a couple of times, we're familiar with the drill. Some may grumble (and often do) that EA should put a bit more thought into their content and not just bang out the same ol' same ol' all the time - but grumble or not, we still buy it. We, and I think I can say we here, really, really wanted to like TS4 - and yes, re-buy anything and everything that was released for it - but the issues we have with the game itself cannot be corrected with EP's and stuff packs or whatever they're calling them these days, and therefore we aren't buying them. Has nothing to do with money or re-buying content we already own.
