What's easier and smarter from a profit perspective, is to keep it the way it has been in past versions so individual players can decide which packs they want in their own game. Not forced to buy standalone packs that can't interact with the main game. I want my occults to live among and interact with "normal" sims in my game, maybe out in the open or hidden behind the scene a la Harry Potter.

Got 1 pack in 4 years, the way they make packs are bias as day.
Alien is half baked, plantsims is a buff a buff like skeleton is a debuff!, can't even create ghost in cas 4 years later yet they force a weather attire in cas.
Many of the packs are questionable like laundry day(who wants to do it virtual?) This is why the sims 4 flop because of bad decisions.

First of all the laundry was picked by Simmers themselves - not by any devs decision - so obviously simmers choose to want virtual laundry in their game.

Sims has always had weather attire by the way - always.

Second - the plant Sims also was nothing anyone paid for or had to have - it was part of a free Guru's challenge game - you don't even have to have any in your game at all unless you choose to. I did play the challenge and they are available if I want them - but when I restarted my game I decided I was not all that fond of these plant Sims so they are no longer in my game as I did not add any back in - period.

Skeletons well you can also choose not to have them in your regular game by not putting together the device that gives them to you. Just sell it like all the other artifacts.

The aliens as they have been in every sims game are different - it is rather expected. At least this time we can visit their world for a change if we want - But no one makes you play them. Even if they impregnate a sim - you can send the newborn back to it's home world.

Not getting occults in the game like the past I believe is because lots of simmers always complain that want no part of that part of that forced on them in eps in the Sims games - again the devs listened and stopped it because the occult dislikers don't want them in their game - regardless of the fact the games has ALWAYS had them. To appease us they put Vamps in their own gp so no one who hates occults has to have them unless they buy that pack.

So seems to me all your fellow simmers did choose things this way, and there was no reason to blame the devs as they did not make these decisions. They simply delivered.

Actually Sims 4 has not flopped - there you are very wrong. It is in EA's top 4 selling games . I know I attend the conference calls. It is even being extended for more years than any other sims games as it continues to out perform.
