The lack of communication between the dev team and the community is disheartening. I can’t remember the last time there were actually teasers about the upcoming content?Short and even vague blog posts hinting at what’s to come wouldn’t take much effort to put out, and they would encourage the community to discuss what the packs could be and drum up excitement.
Yes, they announced 3 packs are coming out in the next 6 months. But how can people get excited about something we don’t know anything about? We have nothing to look forward too. For all we know, the stuff pack is another ‘dlc on top of dlc’ pack. They won’t even tell us the name until a few weeks before release.
It’s just sad when the forums are not engaging in anything because there isn’t anything to talk about until they decide to release a pack teaser. When there isn’t any updates to look forward to it’s hard to want to keep playing when you don’t know if any of the game-breaking glitches, bugs, and pathfinding issues will ever be fixed. New content is what keeps Sims 4 alive. What’s the incentive to keep playing when the devs go completely silent for months at a time, with no news of what’s to come?
There is plenty to look forward to. At least two more years of content.
There are plenty of threads discussing gameplay. Maybe take a look at the Challenges, Stories and Legacies forum for ideas.

The incentive to keep playing is that you enjoy the game and existing content.
Also you may want to check out this thread. You might see something to try that you've not yet experienced in your game. :)
