The reason the pack feels so limited, is because it's not finished. They released it way too early, just decided to not put anything more in it, and called it a day. Or should I say, an expansion.
How much of that is that the Sims team cutting corners on their own or EA forcing them to cut corners.
I’d say they both contribute about equally. EA cut the dev budget because they (Maxis) made a game so unbelievably bad that they can only sell it at a discounted price.
EA didn’t exactly set up Sims 4 for success, but the producers didn’t really help that either with their arcane, non-existent “vision” that they spent the first year and a half explaining how they couldn’t explain it even though nobody liked where they were going with it. EA cut their losses with Sims 4 and left it up to marketing to make them money and that’s how it goes - even now. Absolutely nothing needs to have any depth, it just needs to be camera ready for promotional materials and screenshots.
