All of these comments about it being a "cash grab" confuse me. Nobody is forcing you to buy the packs. They are a business that needs to make money so the content creators can make money too. Don't like it? Don't buy it.
Yes, but the problem with your argument is that if you do like it, you have to get it regardless of the price. And how are you supposed to know if you'll like it if you don't get it? You don't see all of the swatches in the previews. And what if you get it, and find you don't like it? Are you still obliged to like it and never complain, even after you've paid money for it?
And it's been noted that a lot of the content is not 'niche'. It's not 'specialised', like emo clothes or swimwear or even Manly Men clothes. It's extremely generalised stuff that could be put out in full Stuff Packs with gameplay and furniture. The furniture could go in a full farming pack - people are even SAYING we might not get a farming pack, which is silly. It's not meant to appeal to small, previously unnoticed groups, because the more people it appeals to, the more money EA gets.
