I think this new system is about getting smaller content out faster.
Currently, all updates - even minor ones - have to be bundled in with the month's patch. If no patch is released in a given month, even small updates which are ready to go aren't going to be available. If they want to add some new artworks celebrating Latin America, but the full patch is delayed for any reason, the artwork has to wait.
With this system, they could add small pieces of content at any point without having to adhere to patch timelines. It also means that if a month has no patch for some reason, they could put out a piece of content to pacify people temporarily.
@bixters - New "stuff" that doesn't impact gameplay has less potential to break games or CC. A new jacket, whether it comes from Maxis or your favorite modder, doesn't carry the same risk as changing how sims' relationships work to include sentiments, for example.
