Moschino Stuff is a solid pack. The thing is: if we hadn't already paid for the photography feature years ago, it would have been an amazing pack.
What I see happening is that game companies are releasing lackluster features on purpose with the intent of charging to improve those same features down the road. It's the "free-to-play" mentality come to paid content.
It's a pity because I never expected to see that predatory mentality come to The Sims series -- at least, not to this extent and not in such a brazen manner.
At least we know what the next few years of TS4 will entail: The Improved Apartment Pack. The Improved Water Activities Pack. The Improved Fame Pack. (now including real bands!) The "Look, You Don't Have to Teleport Everywhere Anymore Because Cars" Pack (Garage doors to be sold separately.)
You get the idea.
What EA doesn't seem to understand is that they don't have to try to run my pockets like a common thug. I would be only too happy to pay more for expansion packs that are full-featured. You know, like how series packs used to be. Because let's face it, expansion packs should have cost more by now, anyway. Themes don't need to be broken up into silly bits (that are released years apart) in order to make up the difference.
BTW: Are children allowed to pose with adults? Toddlers can. Pets can. But are kids allowed to pose with their parents? Or will that require another update?
