I get what you're saying. I'm an all-packs player too, playing since TS1. But honestly, their recent slew of packs has brought me back in a big way. Ever since relationships, parenting, and life experiences really started to matter (mainly the Growing Together pack) I've been more invested in the game than I was the past 5-6 years before it. They're finally heading in a direction where the game actually holds interest for me and it shouldn't have taken 10 years, it shouldn't be so broken and buggy and pawned off into thin expansions...but I do actually care more about each pack now, for what it's worth. And that's the problem, I think. There are 35 million Sims players. Even a million or two million people ready to leave would be a small fraction, and there are probably another million or two million who've similar enjoyed their recent efforts. I don't think this game is at that tipping point yet - whereas The Sims 5 might never have taken off, given many players' shaky relationship with The Sims 4 - and EA probably knows that too.
