True but TS1-TS3 are still rich in gameplay even though TS1 only have EP's. Point is, with everything TS4 includes EP's, SP's and GP's it still feels incomplete...insignificant compared to previous entries.
A game series is meant to grow, expand, innovate, improve and advance while keeping onto everything that's considered a great/best feature by the majority.
At first there was just TS1 but then TS2 topped that and then TS3 kind of for the most part topped that and then TS4 came along which just tore down the growing foundation and retrogressed. Now let that happen to any other popular game series and see if the majority won't rebel and instantly stop supporting poor business decisions and a lack of respect for fans. Fans that actually helped got The Sims to this point and made it successful in the first place.
Anyway, TS4 base game is severely lacking and everything being sold or so called free is basically giving back what should have been there in the first place. The same appears true with even EP's as well. The only point of GP's seems to be just to bring in extra money with little effort. But that's just my feelings.

Golly gee, I can't wait to see what the future holds.
If TS4 is doing so well, then why lie about TS3? To attempt to falsely justify the new less is more business model?

I wish they would stop talking about toddlers and pools and act like giving them free was the most generous act ever. It isn't. As said already it's base game content that should have been there at launch. As already mentioned the Sims 3 had more than one expansion a year and it shows. From the interview Grant implies they are making more content for this game then previously. All I see is expansions being served on a smaller plate with key features being served as separate dishes.
The only way for game companies to learn is to hit them where it hurts...no quality game = no profit. Unfortunately, TS4 must be that grand for some to refuse standing up for their own consumer rights and demand what they deserve or goodbye. It doesn't matter though, just as long it's not me. I've already accepted the future of The Sims is dead. Will Wright's legacy was amazing while it lasted through the years 2000-2013. What an amazing ride it's been. :mrgreen: <3
TS1 thru 3 didn't have Gamepacks either.
