I agree that the team has put out more content than ts3, but for me, the difference is variety. when we got new stuff packs it would have the same objects but different design. for instance, fitness pack where we got the same exercise machines, plus one rock climbing wall, when we could have gotten weights, elliptical bikes, and more etc. I'm not saying one is objectively better than the other, and i enjoy both games even with their faults, but ts3 seemed "fuller" due to the variety of objects, careers, and other gameplay features.
If this is all true, then why did we have all those threads (every month) complaining about droughts of DLC? No communication complaints and many, many, many drought threads.
I honestly think that part of the "drought" feeling has to do with getting basically the same content over and over. Maybe if we had more variety in the game simmers wouldn't complain as much about long release dates because we'd be too busy enjoying what's been released. I've been around for a long time here and there's been way more communication between the gurus and the community in TS4 than TS3. Simmers were less worried about communication because we had more than enough gameplay to keep us occupied until the next release.
TS3 had complaints about performance. TS4 has more complaints about being bored because with every pack release we get a lot of the same stuff, same animations, same sim personalities etc.
