I doubt it. This is the first game where we've only gotten 1 EP in a year. (For 2016 and 2017) It feels like things are moving slower here.

This is also the first game of the series that got the indepth specialty game packs - so keep that in mind.

Well yes but in TS3, for example, the combination of a game pack and an expansion of TS4 would pretty much add up to the same amount of content. Pretty sure GP's and half baked EP's is just a marketing move for more money :p

You know something I own the entire Sims 3 store - bought most of it the day the store content came out. Money seems to be your issue - not mine. I like a game or content I buy the game and content. Not my issue. Don't care what you think - if it is worth it to me - I buy it.

You know what I would have issue with - is if the game didn't keep producing content. If it was up to me Sims 4 would have had a Sims 4 store as well - and most likely I'd bought all of that content also.

Did the same thing in Sims 2. The value of the a dollar for Sims stuff compared to any other form of entertainment out there - to me it is worth it. Seeing I am still also playing those games as well. It's in the eye of the beholder. You want to call it a money grab - well don't buy it. What can I say. That's totally on you - not me. Not my problem.

The formula has worked for 18 years and still rules and keeps the Sims still doing as well as it ever did. So obviously many people agree - we will keep on playing and keep on buying maybe the same way for another 18 years. Let us hope so anyway. Can't help the fact you cannot wrap your head around the idea.

If you bought all Store content the day it was released you obviously indeed didn’t have a money issue. Me however have never been able to afford that, nor needed it for that matter. I don’t think the point is what we can afford or are willing to spend on the game here. Those ‘in depth’ GP’s just offer content that used to be in one EP in the past. Like I stated in another topic: this GP will cost half of what WA cost, but it won’t contain half of what WA delivered. Not by a long shot.

Well I actually like the gps better than most of the eps because they go deeper into the subject instead of just lightly cover 3 or more subjects. Is my point. I mean GTW could have used a lot of indepth work added to retail side of that game - I don't think anyone could have denied that. But you are entitled to like what you like as well. I don't have a problem with that either. I am just glad I finally enjoy Sims 4 and now that I enjoy it - I like the idea it may last longer.

(ETA - Just to add - I suppose I didn't NEED all that content - but I sure as heck enjoy it when I play Sims 3 - and that's the point. I buy what I like and The Sims games are one thing I spend money on. The only other thing I spend money on is my pc - other wise I don't spend much money at all.)

Most of what the Store had was wallpaper, stuff (except for the Premium stuff but most of the Premium stuff is pretty shallow). Mind you, I’m very happy with a lot of that wallpaper, but my game wouldn’t play any different if I’d have to choose a different hair style or dress for my sim. I agree with you Sims ‘s GP’s seem to be better and go deeper than its EP’s. I wasn’t comparing GP’s to Sims 4’s EP’s though ;)

I’m by no means not granting you your own opinion about this by the way, but I must confess you sounded as if you yourself are having trouble granting AuzzPanda their opinion? (‘Money seems to be your issue, not mine’ - possibly, yes? - ‘well don’t buy it, that’s totally on you’ - not the point? - ‘What can I say. That's totally on you - not me. Not my problem‘ - dismissive - ‘Can't help the fact you cannot wrap your head around the idea’ - they don’t ask you to help, they’re just sharing their opinion?)
