How is this a gamepack?
Seriously, how is one new career that's 90 percent buy mode a gamepack? It's insulting at this point. We've shown that they can add careers in stuff pack, and good ones at that. The ghost hunter f...

Well I counted and unless I counted wrong it is like this.
Sims 4 Vampires has 130 new build and buy mode items, I didn't count CAS but it was big as well since it included the teeth and facial features as well as clothes and hair, it had the new occult, the new world, new aspirations, the strengths and weaknesses system, several new animations including fighting and probably more
Sims 4 Home Renovator has 135 new build and buy mode items. So only 5 more than vampires. The other features include the renovation likes and dislikes, the gig system which has been done in previous packs while the actual gig itself consists of you playing in buy mode which is in the base game and the reveal which is a social event like a party in which your clients do some facial expression and then you get a slideshow of the before and after pictures. The build and buy has some more new tools for building so I'll give them that.
IMO, in comparison I don't see the renovator pack having so much more build and buy mode items for the amount of other features it's lacking.
Should the difficulty/cost in creating those objects factor in in some way? I don't know anything about video game design but some objects require more of the design budget than others. Modular furniture and kitchen sets for example.
I feel that the pack price should be designed for what it offers to the customer. We don't know how much development that goes into these packs so even if a fair bit of development probably went into making the career with build mode integration and the modular furniture that's their problem and they should plan so that the pack quality and the amount of content in their packs doesn't suffer because of it. EA should cover the costs, not cut corners in order to make a profit at the expense of people buying and playing their packs.
Some packs will cost more than others, that's just how it is, we should not be the ones that pay for it.
