Well comparing one thing to something worse is another way of trying to defend it. Saying oh yeah the Sims 4 has so much DLC bit people who play flight simulators pay 80$ for an airplane. Sure there are worse and more greedy games and companies but that does not make the Sims 4 any better.
If I broke my left foot it doesn't mean I wouldn't be sad just because someone else broke both feet...

Also I think some of you don't understand where LGR is coming from. His problem is not just that this pack was not well done. It's the whole concept of having 10$ packs with content that could be pack of an EP. A good example is the fact that I have seasons but I have no ice creams because I've creams came with freaking cool kitchen stuff which was supposed to offer kitchen stuff but instead came with ice creams.

Again just because things are more "fleshed-out" which many times they are not with the exception of vampires (which was more in depth) doesn't mean it good to split everything apart in smaller DLC to make it more "in-depth". More in depth vampires? Okay maybe but more in depth knitting? ????? Like I said previously are we going to get more in depth pooping in a 10$ pack as well?

Also another problem that he has is with the number of stuff packs. 17 stuff packs compared to the 9EPs and 8GPs means they are spending a lot of time and money in those tiny stuff packs than in other more gameplay changing DLC and also than in game updates which are super important since there are things missing for 6 years now but nope it's knitting guys.

And even if we knew that the voting only produces gameplay elements that are small and narrow it again doesn't make it any better.

For those reasons I think his judgement of the pack is totally justified and I don't think he just didn't give it time. I think he judged the pack less on the little details and more on the big picture and that is something I respect because there are way to many reviewers like "oh you can attach the two desks, this pack is so awesome".

I'm not comparing it to something "worse". I, in no means, think that flight simulator or the prices of it are "worse". They are more expensive but if someone spends more time on it than I do on Sims, it's worth it for them. It may be they have more money than me, it may be they have more gaming time than me and in the end pay less per hour than I do on Sims, making it better. It just depends on the person's enjoyment, time, etc. I mean, yeah for me it'd be a huge waste because I don't enjoy the game, but for someone who loves it, not at all.
I'm simply responding to the comment that simmers are the "ONLY community who defends spending $700 for one game". That's simply not true. There are more. Flight Simulator came to mind as an example first because I have several close friends/family who spend a lot more on it than I could on Sims, but it's not the only other game people pay a lot for either. THere are many, so to say the Sims is the only one that costs this much is untrue.

And I'd WAY rather in-depth knitting over in-depth vampires lol. Diff people like diff themes. Enough people wanted knitting apparently since it won the vote. It wasn't my first choice, but it was second and I love the pack. ( my first choice was the fitbit stuff option, giving sims smartwatches and tracking steps.)

His judgement of the pack IS justified, I agree with that. The judgements of people who disagree with him are also justified. The fact that there are 17 game packs is indeed a fact and he is correct in his counting. The opinion that having 17 stuff packs is a bad thing however is not a fact. TBH, I'd be happy with hundreds more stuff packs. I wouldn't be able to BUY hundreds, but it'd be great for having loads of options and picking/choosing which ones I wanted and which ones I didn't. I don't like using CC so I love getting these small packs that don't cost so much to add a few new cas/build items into my game.
