Even IF this is a first of a split up "hobby" pack... do you actually end up paying more? Really? Expansion packs are $40. 4 separate hobby packs then also equal $40... I'm not seeing this argument as valid. I think some people are forgetting that we voted on this. The community did this "money grab".

@Camkat Again I'm sure if we had the option to choose if the Art and Crafts pack was going to be an expansion pack or a stuff pack I'm sure many would have chosen it to be a bigger pack. But you see they don't give us that option.

Also no. Free Time for example was a hobby pack and it didn't come with just 4 hobbies. It came with more. It also came with a new neighborhood, new aspirations, genies, a new "enthusiasm" system for hobbies (which made each sim have interest in different hobbies), new carreers, new NPCs, new foods, new video games, new TV channel and a new radio station.
So no, buying 4 stuff packs with a hobby each is not the same as buying an actual hobbies expansion pack.

Only thing is though, we don't get nearly anything near what we got in TS2 in terms of packs. They started whittling them down in TS3 and kept right on going with TS4. You can't except we'd get anything near the free time quality people want these days. Now I'm sure your right that 4 stuff packs won't equal one expansion, there would be more in the expansion. It would be no FreeTime though. Those days are long gone. :(

There still would be people that don't mind buying them all separately to "customize" their game, and there will be those that want a full pack. I just don't think that a full pack would have everything people hope and dream anyways, because, Sims 4.
