And here's where we get into the question of 'what are you buying that pack for'. I considered Seasons a very off purchase because it had no new world. To me, even paying $5 would have felt too much. I got it only because I've been looking to be completionist and it had such glowing reviews so I figured I would eventually figure out what the fuss was. It did have a good amount of CAS and Build mode - so in time I've come to see the purchase as justified since I got it for 50% off. But most of it is gameplay and the game is better off the more of that that can be replicated in multiple packs.
Island Living was the only EP I bought outside of a sale. I saw Carl's review panning it as a horrible release, and that pretty much let me know I had to buy it. And I'm glad I did - it has exactly what I value out of an EP: a large new and very different world with a good number of lots, and not too much gameplay tweaking as that is stuff I prefer go into wider availability.
