Ever since TS4 came out there's been a lot of talking about how bad its engine is. I think the amount of recycling going on is yet another sign of that. They're limited in how many new things they can implement, so they stick to what's already part of the game and just tweak it. Vampires was something fresh, and oddly enough, it came out around the time TS4's sales were in a rather poor condition... Looks to me like they gave us something so good just to get on good terms with players who turned their back on them, and then it was back to the usual. This just makes me angrier because we've been sampled the actual potential of 4 and nothing came out of it. No more brand new concepts and ideas, only re-skins sold in a pretty packaging. That's also why EPs lack features so much.
Yeah, strange that 'good' EPs, SPs and GPs only seem to appear when Sims 4 isn't doing so well, almost seems that the nickel-and-diming they're doing has nothing to do with team or budget but is actually deliberate.
I'm being reminded of an old South Park episode, where a 'trailer' for a film says at one point: "It's Jim Carrey in, whatever, you'll pay to go see it", well in this case it's EA-xis saying: "It's the Sims, whatever, you'll buy it".
