I think it looks good. I'm wondering if we will see people wonder why we don't got any horses...
I'm not so sure about the buy by september 2nd and you will get three additional items. It's kinda like a pre-order but not really because it's available for a month after release. It doesn't mix well with them releasing their packs with bugs where we have to wait months for them to be fixed, I still have trouble with my plants reverting to dirt piles.

This bit gives the trailer a bitter taste in my mouth. I usually have to wait for a sale and now I get punished for that? I hate time limited content. This is urging people to buy things sooner than they may have planned. I really like the look of that bike but is it worth paying 20€ extra by not waiting for a sale?
I get what you're saying but I mean, it's still a business. Honestly, all businesses want people to pay full price and not wait for sales, right? In the end, they have costs and salaries and an overhead to make up. Not saying EA isn't hemorrhaging money, but even small businesses do things like this. They're just giving more incentive. Many game companies offer special extras only for preorders, so I think in comparison to that, it's good they're at least giving people a couple of months leeway.
As for the pack itself, it's so much better looking than I expected for a "farming" theme so I'm actually excited for it.
It may be common practice to offer a get this now or never deal but I think it is very rude and pushy. It looks like they are giving a reward to people who pre order but at the same time anyone who misses out on this will never get another chance of completing their game. For the deluxe edition, they added an upgrade which people can buy, so that's still available. It's much more fair that way.
But you have a point when you say that they want us to buy at full price. After all EA (not the developers but higher up) only care about the profits.
As for the pack itself, I agree with you. It looks far more interesting than I thought it would. I am happy they went for a small town and not a huge modern farm with tractors.
Yeah, that's basically it. They reward those who are willing to pay full price within the first two months of release. But then, hasn't The Sims had other rewards, like getting extra objects for owning X amount of Sims 3 packs and such? I remember being bummed back in the beginning after TS4's release because I didn't own any TS3 packs and was going to miss out on some stuff. I mean, they could microtransaction all of the rewards, but we'd probably also have people upset about that too. The people who get the rewards would be upset if those rewards eventually went up for purchase separately because it would mean they could have waited for a sale and spent less money in the long run.
It's essentially this; spend more money faster, get rewards. But you have a fair argument and I don't know if there's a better solution that would make everyone happy.
