How old are you?
I was reading job openings at EA's website and saw this on one of the descriptions "The Sims 4 has an extremely unique player base attracting a large young female-skewing audience." It got me thinking...

The thing about the sims is a LOT of players began playing when the first game was released in 2000. I myself was only 8 but I've known many who were adults when they picked it up. I'm 27, going on 28 this year and still playing. I'm also not a girl lol.
The dev team is honestly marketing to the wrong people imo. Teenage girls don't have the funds to keep buying all these packs. It's the adults with a bit of disposable income who have nostalgia for the game who are willing to spend the big bucks.

Precisely. I was 34 when Sims 1 was released in 2000, and started playing in 2003 when my then husband began playing away. He later left (2004), and The Sims helped me to keep my sanity. When your own life is falling apart being able to control the lives of Sims is incredibly helpful from a mental health perspective. I have looked into this and my thoughts are backed by studies. I have played Sims on and off for decades, and now at age 61 am really enjoying TS4. I can afford to buy any packs I like, though I do generally buy them on sale as there are sales every month or two.
