Yeah I definitely think the expansion packs are way too expensive for the content you get. I agree with those who said that usually even more impressive and detailed games, such as The Witcher, didn't have such high prices, especially for their expansion packs. TS4 prices are really surprising, especially considering most of the new gameplay added in the packs for TS4 doesn't even require new animations or anything, they just use another label for the same animation in a different context (except for Cats and dogs obviously, which required a lot of new animations). The mechanics and the gameplay added are not even that developped usually, I mean, one expansion added the ability to do tasks for a job, the other the ability to create a group... Even game packs added more gameplay than that.
I think the reason why the price is so high is to play with the attraction of sales. The packs' price is twice what they are worth, but since there is an Origin sale every two weeks, it boosts sales by making customers think it is a good deal, when actually they pay the price the game actually is worth.
