And even Generations which was light on (at the time) had:
-2 New Traits
- 9 New Reward Perks
- New Party types - including Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties and Teen Parties
- Pranks
- Boarding School (God I loved boarding school for annoying children)
- Two new WooHoo locations
- The Chemistry Table
- A New Lifestate
- Midlife Crisis
- Teaching teens to drive (My sims would spend Sunday Family Funday teaching their kids to drive and then they'd hang out at a park or the beach...
- Cloning
- Bunkbeds & Spiral stairs (please can we have these back they were such good space savers)
- And more...dates, memory system, body hair, dreams for kids, bedtime stories etc.
All worked almost perfectly. There was as much in that "Glorified Stuff Pack" than any Sims 4 EP. I am not saying Sims 3 is perfect - obviously, if it was I would only play it and not care about the future of the Sims 4. It did glitch and crashed.
But my reflection was to look at why I am dissatisfied with the Sims 4 and the lack of variety in everyday sim life is a big part of that. A variety of goals, traits, activities, and rewards. And an expansion pack is meant to counter that and it's not yet. I hope that voicing a desire for more traits and goals will help guide the game to that point.
