The paradise living pack is really cool. We already kind of knew it from the leaks the passed few days. The rumors were true :)

The other (big? Not sure how that was big) announcement they made was.. just a waist. Why this overdone dedication to pride stuff? It's getting annoying. I couldn't even understand half the words he was saying. Just not something that is very much needed.

The last few announcements kind of ruined the first one for me tbh. It was a bit disappointing. I expected something bigger. Uni, farming, cars, open world/sub-hoods, big changes in the core game etc.

Maybe you can try to understand that for some people those news where actually quite big. Personally I am very happy about the fact that my favourite childhood game is this inclusive of its gay players. Sadly this is not a given and a big company like EA making it a point to have it in their game is a step in the right direction. The execution is gonna be up for debate, because being gay isnt all rainbow colours and flower crowns, but we will see and i appreciate the effort. Seeing that you couldnt understand half of what they were saying means that educating people on this topic is still very much needed and as the sims is played by a wide range of people itll definitely do some good. Maybe ull find a way to incorporate it in your gameplay as well, because its definitely part of real life (:

Are you sure about that? That is my whole point. We have been bombed by this stuff.

Besides: Repeatedly giving the same packs or category updates are costing time and money which could have been spent for things that never got a chance in the first place.
But it says it all in my first comment already. Maybe read it again ;)

EA has an Engagement Team that's responsible for updates like the Pride content, special challenges where Jasmine Holiday shows up and such -- they keep the game fresh and interesting between big pack releases. Cancelling those projects wouldn't really add much to the budget of the next pack. You're free to ignore such content if you like, but for many of us we appreciate the little extras whether it's Diwali, Christmas Down Under, or Pride. And in a world where people are imprisoned or even executed for loving the "wrong" person in some countries, or "merely" beaten up in others, it's nice that people can still be who they are in a video game in the privacy of their own home.
