I just popped back into the Sims 4 after a long break due to binge-watching a TV show with a home decorator angle, and a homebuying one where decorating, layout and usage is discussed (Love It or List It). I like building in all the Sims (been here 1-4). I'd even done a turn trying (other fan generated) build challenges. I just really enjoy that gameplay.
Got back, looked at my current house and realized there were only 1-2 ways to decorate each room due to the lack of color choices, especially in furniture. Wall covering options are acceptable. And I'd already done the alternate good-looking furnishing combinations in previous saves/houses. Hard bounce.
So, stopped playing again after one night.
The packs add choices, but not interesting ones in terms of decorating. Or refreshing an existing house. And build challenges had already gone stale as everyone used the same objects (because the matched!) unless using CC.
I think a boat is being missed here in both gameplay and potential cross-marketing.
