They did not have any game packs in the sims3. I guess you could say that they have less time to work on expansion packs now because they have to make both expansion packs and game packs.
I agree, their themes are very narrow, they only seem to be able to explore a few things with every pack.
Technically Sims 3 had the store which provided "gamepack" like content.
Per production they have different teams, one is a central development team and all the packs are basically developed by second teams that work with that team. Its why they can develop 3 different things at once but its also the reason why never see post launch content for packs because after one is completed that team is moved onto another production unlike the central team that continues to work on the Sims 4 base core game.
