@SimGuruGrant I haven't read through the whole thread so I apologize if you've answered this.....but..you said:
"Typically, on Sims 3 we used to do one expansion per year and then did a couple of stuff packs."
TS3 got two, and once three, EPs per year. There were two stuff packs, once three, per year. There was also monthly store content. Usually there was a large pack, most often with premium content or game play and a smaller pack with hair styles and clothing. I see TS4 as getting much less content.
All the store content and 4 of the eps were made at the Salt Lake City Studio team where they had two big teams. When I tested Showtime - I tested and responded with the Sims team at Salt Lake City that made that ep. They also made the Supernatural pack, the University Pack, and Into the Future there. I hear there was a few Stuff packs made there as well - but did not hear that personally. So things made at the Salt Lake City Studio I believe the main Maxis team do not count those packs as they were no way connected to them. Also any free content Sims 3 got also came from those teams. They also did the console and mobile versions of Sims 3 at Salt Lake City.
I understand that but I'm talking about total content we got each year Reg. He's making it sound as if there was less content made,period, for TS3. One studio made one thing and another made something in the else. In the end the players didn't look at where the content was made, they looked at what was made available to them.
We agree about that. But Grant isn’t a simmer but a Sims producer. Therefore he only cares about the work that is done by him and his colleagues in the Redwood Studios where he works. So that was what he was talking about.
Well that's got to change then doesn't it? I work for a library, our job is to develop programs in kindergartens, primary schools and high schools to encourage kids to read. We are a team and our tasks are divided, my colleagues and me, we all have our own specialities (it's not even limited to reading by the way, that is my speciality; there's also someone who gives drama lessons and someone who gives technique classes). You can be sure of it all of us is very much interested in what the others do, because it's our job to present ourselves as a whole to the outside world. Nobody cares who does what exactly, we are 'the library', that place that promotes reading and media literacy. I simply can't imagine it's any different for a game company.

I don't understand why anyone is separating Salt Lake's studio from the one in Redwood. For years they told us all Maxis was over all of it whether they were in Salt Lake or Redwood, it didn't matter. Anytime someone brought it up they were quick to say Maxis hadn't gone anywhere and all the studios were still 'Maxis' lol..now they change their tune? Alrighty, I'm not buying that explanation but others can if they want to.
I have no idea what else could have made him say that (Sims 3 having one EP a year and 'a couple of' SP's). But I think it's pretty bad when a spokesman of a company only highlights his own small perspective. Unless it's the subject of the article (work stress and all that), but this article is too much about Sims 4 to really justify that assumption.
