I like the EP bonuses, even though I've never bought a pack early enough to get them. They're like a thank you to the simmers who serve as unofficial beta testers by playing a pack shortly after release. These plucky simmers venture into uncharted territory with nary a map, grasping their way through the near darkness, never know what horrifying bugs they might encounter . . . Wait, am I talking about a newly released Sims pack or the Temple of Doom? The line blurs sometimes. 😛
Anyway, these simmers deserve an exclusive reward for what they go through to get things fixed for the rest of us.

I understand, I really do. I, however, have real gripe with the concept and God bless those that can buy every pack on launch and/or get them for free. They can offer these incentives if they want, my issue is that they’re not offered or obtainable later down the line. The Sims 4 has a Deluxe Edition that contains: Up All Night & Life of the Party Digital Content. Features the Laser Light Show, Flaming Tiki Bar, fun decorations, outrageous party costumes. Move all the old pre-order content to the Deluxe Edition. Sure, if you miss out on it at release, you must wait a bit (let’s say a month or two), but eventually it goes to it.
I have such issues with a company that has thousands in DLC (which is not common in current day gaming and has people defending gatekeeping three items) that also squeezes you so hard with FOMO items that it makes people impulse buy because they want these cool exclusive items.
That’s my issue. I don’t really mind as a whole. I just think they should be obtainable after a timeframe. Also, you deserve better than being an unpaid beta tester. A decade ago, this was a paid position at a company. No one should be cheering for this. People should be livid at the state of the Sims 4 when it has the potential to make thousands of dollars per player – that’s another topic, though.
