Constant dragging of certain themes
After almost four years, I'm getting kind of bored with The Sims 4. I haven't played any DLC's from previous iterations, besides The Sims 1. So I won't be comparing The Sims 4 to previous iterations h...

I imagine most of this comes down to money. Why make one expansion with bowling, restaurants and no doubt future items when you can split them up and get more money?
I know, I know there are theee separate teams but that I think is a problem. Graham has said we can’t get sleeping bags nor bunk beds in a stuff pack so we are dependent on game packs of expansions to deliver. I hate paying for jigsaw puzzle pieces. Give me the jigsaw!
Amd I agree about your feelings about the game, I’ve been there for a while. I come back every so often, load up the game, play for at most 30 minutes and then go and play something else. It doesn’t captivate me the way I would expect and I loathe the dlc model. No offence to anyone that enjoys it.
I also agree that certain themes and patterns are being repeated all the time.
I hate to say this but they are trying to get more money from us. The constant breaking up content in other packs and recycling of objects and features is less work for them and the most money we have to pay. I'm just tired of it all really. Every pack dissapoints as a whole. Every pack has it's nice building items that I would like to have, but I have to restrain myself because the packs are all very expensive and I don't want to support this behaviour of releasing half-finished dlcs.
Absolutely they are. Not saying I agree with i though! I know they are a business but this isn’t a practice I think that is in the best interest of the consumer. I can’t even say that under this model we are getting a ton of new game play to make it worth the money. But to each their own.
Well, it also doesn't help the fact that many of the consumer base want themes from older games translated into the latest iteration of the series (like Seasons) and so you'll probably get what you wanted but gutted out and separated into multiple different packs that tackle a certain portion of the overarching theme and then accentuate it to give the appearance that you're paying for your money's worth.
