I'm kind of ok with EA splitting up Supernaturals into separate GPs, especially after what they did with Vampires, where my only criticism was that the world was too small. I would love to see fully fleshed out Witches and Fairies.
Splitting up doesn't neccesarily have to be a bad thing. Splitting up is an opportunity to flesh out individual features even more. It results in less quantity (aka we got one lifestate thusfar where in the past we got four) but more quality (these were the most detailed occults ever).
Really if there's anything to be upset about for needlessly being split up, it's Butlers and City Living. Sims 3 Late Night had butlers, vampires and city life all for $40. Sims 4 comparatively split all three up and raised the pricetag to $70. No one seems to mind the $20 of Vampires because these Vampires are far superior to the vampires in Late Night. The city and the butlers however....? Those didn't really improve, nor can EA justify the reasoning behind putting Butlers in stuff packs instead of packaging them with City Living. I'm happy Vampires were worth their weight in gold, but yeah let's not kid ourselves, EA did swindle us on the butlers and they should be getting bad feedback for it.
I'm 100% confident Witches would justify another Game pack though. Personally...? I think Witches are complex enough they could use another game pack, but then I don't know if I feel the same for fairies. I think it might be an interesting experiment to package fairies, werewolves and genies together in another game pack, give each of them less detail but of course provide us with three life states, and see how well-received that is. But what do I know, it might be a terrible idea that would bomb.
Late Night also had the celebrity system though -- if you have celebrities it would make sense to have butlers. But with City Living unless you've got a family in one of the few ultraplush penthouses, there isn't really space or need for a butler. I'm okay with having the butlers in a stuff pack for only $10. As for the vampires, since City Living focused on the entire day in the city, it didn't make sense to have vampires when they would become crispy critters at GeekCon, for example.
Your argument is that Butlers are only appropriate with celebrities, but the Vintage pack doesn't have celebrities either.
Sorry, but that argument is just bad to me. There's zero reason for them to exclude butlers. Stuff packs are about price gouging; always have been, and by the looks of it always will be. Every stuff pack gets one in-demand feature and holds it hostage to encourage sales, and yes, there is reason to be annoyed with such a practice. To excuse it because it doesn't "fit the theme...." Man they make the theme, and that's never stopped them in the past. Genies didn't exactly fit the theme of Showtime, that doesn't mean I would've preferred they leave them out and charge me an extra $10 for them; no, I'm glad they shoehorned them in.
