Is it just me or does it seem like...
I noticed some people saying on YouTube how it seems like the SimGurus and the other devs of Horse Ranch expansion pack don't seem too excited about this pack, unlike with Werewolves and Growing Toget...

I think it could be a combination of things.
1. Players have criticized when devs "overhype" as being "fake" and annoying. So maybe they're just being more real.
2. People show enthusiasm in different ways. Some people don't excite easy, even when they're proud of something.
3. They stated up front that the finishing touches are still being done, so they're still very busy and a little tired. They had one hour to stream and then no doubt had to get back to crunch time. If you've ever been in crunch, it's hard to completely let go in a presentation when in the back of your mind you're trying to organize yourself for max efficiency, while knowing you'll probably be working late until launch. (I know that EA tried to do away with crunch or at least minimize it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it has returned since the new game is being developed and most likely fewer people are on TS4.)
4.The barrage of constant complaining no matter what you do can have an emotional dampening effect.
And, probably most likely...
5. People read too much into things and everything's fine. ;)
