You're so right.
With the last packs we got so many recycled stuff from previous games. In my opinion it's at least 75% of the games concept and content which is adapted from former The Sims products. It's hard to remember the last "Wow" effect after installing and playing a "new" TS4 pack for the first time. Quite the opposite: For example when news about the island pack leaked for the first time, I told my friends "I bet there will be mermaids" - and behold....
There is hardly anything unique in Sims 4, and so there is also no highlight to remember and to seperate it from the previous Sim releases. Sims 1 was the initial and so of course eveything was new and worth to remember. Sims 2 was a complete overhaul with new graphics and much better looks. Sims 3 with the open world and create a style also was a big step forward. Sims 4.... uhm... I'm afraid, there is nothing, which impressed me so much that I could say, that it's something special to that realease.
After we got back things like toddlers, seasons, vampires, magic and university - now there is hopefully room for something completely new.
To be honest many of the themes that returned from previous packs were highly requested. Many players actually wanted a return of university, ocean swimming, mermaids, magic, military career and education career.
But we also got something completely new with the strangerville storyline or worlds that have different stages (strangerville and Sulani). Or twist in returning features like dorms in any world and non-students living in the university world.
I am among those who are happy to see the return of many of these features. But after strangerville I am also looking forward to new packs. I prefer a nice mix of returning concepts and new ones.
