Are expansions getting worse with each Sims game?

They are, it seems like they scraping for ideas but coming up short. As everyone said, island living was the most lacking. You just have islands placed In giant pool (which is why you can't go under water) to mimic a tropical world were all you do is just clean up trash off the island. Mermaids are just there to look pretty...but not much else. I also thought get together was pointless...when have your sims never been able to get together in the sims. I just didn't see the point..
