@arleta, a great many people have said something similar, so you are not alone in your feelings and we all get that. However, other people have a different outlook. Would you be interested in seeing this upcoming world through my eyes? I will give you that opportunity if you care to know: I played horses in Sims 3 in every new game I made. Riding around the world on a horse relaxed me, helped me appreciate each world's unique look and feel, and connected me to the game in a very special way. I really miss it in Sims 4. So getting that back is a monumental thing for me. I won't choke on horses. I will enjoy every single moment.
I will share another way of looking at "boring" worlds -- they are a clean slate to populate with really interesting lots of your own creation. For instance, I turned Oasis Springs into a sci fi world my sims can live in rather than just visit. I made my own unique theme lots, populated the world with sci fi sims, put the characters I wanted from Oasis Springs into totally new surroundings, and made story lines for them about how they ended up in a sci fi world.
In short, I had a great time in a world that would otherwise have held little interest for me. I made my own fun. Imagination can do that for you. Challenge yourself to provide your own entertainment, if this game is not entertaining enough on its own, using the game as a springboard to fun right out of your own imagination.
I see each new pack or kit as a catalyst with new bits and pieces to add to the plethora of things I already have in my game. Each one adds a bit of richness to the experience. Some are more useful to me than others, but ALL of them add something new. To me, that is exciting. (The only kits I have left behind are some CAS things that have no place in my worlds, and the vacuum kit, because I hate vacuuming.)
Besides the horses, this expansion is going to add so much that I have been wanting and missing in my game. I am really excited.
For instance, I made my own sheep in Sims 3, but they were really dogs and acted like them. To have real sheep, even mini sheep, will be so wonderful. I also have a zoo lot with goat-dogs and donkey-dogs, along with desert foxes, desert type cats, and so forth. The mini goats will go great in that zoo. And I am going to see if I can get a horse to look donkey-like. If I cannot make it happen, I am sure some really talented person will, and then I can download their creation from the gallery. My zoo lot is going to be much better.
For me, every new item in build mode means much more interesting lots. I will have fun building new, and redoing old, with all the new content. I am looking forward to that.
Every penny of the cost of a new expansion will go the distance in my game. Well worth it to me. I have eagerly pre-ordered.
