Sometimes Less Is More
At this late date in TS4 I'm starting to feel like there is too much content and too many patches and too many changes from when I stopped playing the game in 2017. Think how long that is with all ...

I personally think the problem with this over abundance of packs is because they are soooooo skimpy in content! Past sims games didn't have nearly as many packs, but felt more complete or meatier because .... they were.
An expansion pack in TS3 for example, would amount to a TS4's EP, GP, and SP combined.
They dibby up this and that and spread it out so thin people are starved for more content.
This way of marketing is not going to change, they are making money hand over fist by splitting up things that could have easily gone together in a larger pack, but by piece-mealing it out into 3 separate packs, they have made double the money than if they would have just made one larger EP.
My advice is just to sit back and continue to play TS2 because I feel like TS4 is going to be around for a few more years and dwelling on all the changes in TS4 and irritation you have over the game and with EA/Maxis's probably isn't good for you.
I've just come to accept it is what it is and when I get fed up with the limitations and lack of gameplay, I'm happy I can go back to TS2 or TS3 and play those.
