Game development cost and content?
So I was thinking about something. I think at least from sims 2 all the packs have stayed the same amount of money. If not please correct me as I started playing on Sims 3. Was sims 1 also the same...

The recent Eco Lifestyle "expansion pack" isn't even worth the $40 they're asking for... and you're asking if I'd be willing to pay MORE!? LMAO! That's just laughable, honestly. To be fair, Eco Lifestyle is a game pack labeled as an "expansion pack", but that doesn't change the point (it actually makes it even worse). It's still not worth the $40... so why would I ever consider paying MORE for a pack when I won't even pay the price they're asking for now? lol That wouldn't make any sense.
Also, Sims 2 expansion packs had MORE content and features than Sims 4 expansion packs do... and yet, they were only $30, while Sims 4's are $40... so your logic doesn't really make sense.
Sims 3 packs being so highly priced were justifiable due to the fact that the game had open world and create a style... plus, quite a lot of their content involved rabbit hole buildings and stuff like that. Also, certain content and features were just things that happened to come in a pack... for example, Ambitions just happened to come with laundry, despite the overall pack being a completely different theme. Meanwhile, in Sims 4, we paid $10 literally for an entire stuff pack revolving just around laundry... :| The same goes for murphy beds... in Sims 2 and 3, they just happened to come in Apartment Life and University Life, respectively... meanwhile, in Sims 4, we got a 'My First Murphy Bed' stuff pack for $10... lol Again, it's laughable and embarrassing.
The only reason Sims 4 has all these packs costing so much is because EA has become extremely greedy overtime... it has nothing to do with the game development being "more costly" or whatever else people wanna come up with to defend their greediness.
