Yikes .... The Game Pack Trailer has more dislikes than likes
I have seen that the trailer has more dislikes than likes. Looks like the community might not be taking the news of the new game pack too well :o

@LiELF Your analysis is very good, but I still think that EA is making a mistake.
The Sims is one of very few mega-successful decades-long entertainment franchises for all age groups, comparable to Harry Potter, Dr. Who in the UK or the detective series The Three Investigators (Die drei ???) in Germany. The success recipe of these franchises is that they never, never abandon their big aging fanbases. Instead the products become more mature with the audience. Acquiring young new fans is done via spin-offs for kids (the German series is a masterpiece in this respect, and also The Sims does this with the mobile phone games).
If TS4 becomes a trendy game for teenagers only, they will loose their fans every 5 years and can start at zero. Sadly I think this is what happens.
