Would you prefer new packs or game improvements?

As someone who owns most of the packs already, I would very much appreciate BG updates and pack refreshes over new pack releases. The only DLC pack I would really like to have is some kind of Generations pack. Once they give me that my game would be pretty much complete.

I’m not in a rush to get any new content at this point. I think the game has many DLCs already and bunch of them need fixing so does base game. If the pause is to polish what we have now, I’m all for it.

Id much rather they fix the horrible base game by adding basics like cars freed babies and some type of world editing while they refresh packs like Dine Out and Get to Work they can continue to make their cash from those who loves kits simple items that modders can do better but it will keep their $$$ coming in.

I would like both. I like having updates that add something to the base game and fixes bug issues but I would also like to get new packs too.

Everything. o:)

Fixes definitely over new content. Unresolved bug report is so long. But yes, I want both & have enjoyed every new pack (not batuu) & love new worlds to explore

I think the idea of improving the base game and existing packs is nice, in theory, but after sentiments were added to the base game with no "off" toggle, I've gotten worried that other features I don't want will be added without a way to turn them off.

I shouldn't have to pick. They should have a team working on fixes, team working on new content, team working on quick updates, stuff pack and game pack team etc.... This is EA not some Indie dev team that we need to be patient with. Just my opinion though...

Yes there are different teams, but Covid is still a thing and I think that now we're actually seeing the impact of the teams working from home. Heck, I think that may be why Paranormal Stuff came out in January rather than October. That may be why everything has been a bit off. The Sims teams are still mostly working from home, so everything is slower.

So while we don't need to be patient because it's just one team, we do need to be patient because those teams aren't working in the office.

Only real excuses to me are
1. many of the folks moved over to working on Sim5 and that is the reason for the slow down or
2. people quit and they have not been able to fill positions which seems to be happening around the country(doubt this would be a problem for them but who knows).

By now people should be managing through COVID and have processes in place. It is not March 2020.

There needs to be a balance. I want the packs that exist to get a 'refresh' if you will. I would enjoy them adding a true singing career, complete with the ability for singer Sims to receive Accolades without it having to be a chance thing, for instance. But, at the same time I won't scoff at new packs. Much can be added to this game. But, they should fix and add new stuff in balance.

Really, I'm happy to wait for them to add more to the base game. I would gladly purchase new packs (if my parents say yes, that is) but my main focus are on the pack refreshes, especially Dine Out, Get Famous, Bowling Night Stuff and Outdoor Retreat. Otherwise the game will need some more gameplay elements in the base game.
