To the OP that was a very good breakdown. I think that it would be a great if the EP's added more content, and not things like items/clothes/single-line careers etc. I love that TS3 EP's gave new emotions, like you said new jobs that weren't the ONLY job that you were ever able to have. TS3 was definitely NOT the be-all end-all, and what's disappointing to me is that despite being touted as "The Greatest Sims Game EVER" that the content coming out really isn't wowing people in the way it should. Maybe TS3 tried to add in too much too fast, but I don't think the answer is for TS4 to add in much much less.
@HalloMolli Since we're using anecdotal evidence I want to add that I've never had an issue with Butlers. Mine never drank on the job. They cooked/cleaned/looked after babies until they went to bed exhausted. Never once saw mine drinking and there were 2 bars in the house. So your personal experience isn't a global experience by any means. I had a maid once that just sat around eating and drinking all day, but she entertained me with her incompetence so I left it. Seems realistic.
