My clueless question -- why would modular items cost that more to develop? They already have modular items (counters) in the game. They do have to create a lot more pieces I guess.
The difference between Modular Sofas and Modular Counters is actually quite big - counters don't automatically fit together, they're tables that line up if you alter the settings. And their only purpose is putting things on them or cleaning them. On the other hand, Sofas have Sims actively using them. It's the same theory but it does require different programming, and each time you make one, you need to make all the pieces. So I will allow that it's not a walk in the park.
However, it's not enough to justify the price of the pack. We need more than one type of modular sofa, and it would be nice for the previous packs to get some of their sofas done up. But EA never goes back to old packs.
