It seems like there have been more leaks about this pack than usual. More than Werewolves it feels like. It makes you wonder if those leaks might be orchestrated. This is what the third or fourth leak? We knew the theme of the pack while we were still waiting for Werewolves to drop. Then the world map leak, now this leak about the gameplay and the update. Maybe this is normal, I'm not entirely sure. I never started paying attention to the news ahead of a pack release this closely until I started participating here which was just before MWS bombed dropped.
Maybe these 'leaks' are to help mend fences after the MWS fiasco? Just a thought while waiting impatiently.
I would put money down that the leaks are orchestrated. This always happens when we're about to get new packs, and gaming leaks arent unique to the Sims franchise. Currently, we doing exactly what they want us to do. Generating hype, speculating, talking about it all over social media and spreading the word, and getting ready to buy! From a marketing pov, this is great! And yeah there are times when devs arent ready to talk about something but someone from outside or inside starts leaking info, then heads are rolling. I personally think that when word about a high school pack started making waves a little while ago, that that was unintentional.
But that aside, with all the new info and "leaks" that come out whenever new content is on the horizon, Im willing to bet that there was some meetings over what they're gonna reveal. Some higher up gave the go ahead and now someone "accidentally" dropped some new info and is totally hoping that absolutely no one like popular and well established gaming news websites with lots of regular visitors takes the ball and runs with it to show off to millions of potential buyers! That's just silly!

I felt that way about the initial leak.
It would be really necessary if you want to get customers talking and checking if what you have is on the right track for any last minute adjustments, or how you might direct your marketing campaign.
