If there aren't enough new items for my money, then what's the point?
I can freely download more and better amounts of CC for free. What is my $20 going to? Some half-baked content I probably already downloaded in my game as CC?
Pft,
Sims 3 had a lot stuff; but I felt the sims themselves were neglected in the process. There has to be a balance.
Island Living has less build and buy stuff; but the world is so beautiful, lively and more interactive. More room to move around in the neighborhood too because of the open oceans, so it feels bigger. I like the relaxed feeling too and all the CAS is really nice so I actually do use most of it.
Some packs I barely use items from at all as I just don't care for them (I got get to work to be a doctor or run a store, not for the items as I can't even remember the last time I used any of the items that isn't meant for a job). I would sooner replace them with cc.
Lets make this a reality!
... but they released packs more often (2019, 2 GP and 2 EP).
More packs mean less content inside.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionProbably should've gone with Depends on the pack but eh.
This is the number of thumbnails listed by the store (CAS + Build/Buy items).
It doesn't include the hidden items that we can unlock.

The Sims 4 General DiscussionI don't have all the packs (yet); the packs that I do own have items that can be versatile or packs that integrate well with the base and other packs, which is why I usually buy them in the bundles.
Also, not all items are equal in play. A useable item with skill interactions / mood effects > a static, non-interactive decoration or simple surface.
I evaluate every pack, individually, for the features it offers before deciding whether it is worth my money.
But from what I have read so far, the potions and spells etc. are things just reused that were already in game in some sort of form or fashion, (like festivals using basegame content) again. I will have to wait and see if it's all just rehashed potions from the reward's panel and other areas of game like crystal emitters that can do the same thing etc.

In REALITY, I simply exist.....
I mean....it should be that supposedly less items means greater focus on gameplay and/or quality but this hasn't happened. There's maybe a slight increase of quality when it comes to CAS or Buy, but we are still getting lacking short term gameplay, rabbit holes and buggy features to say the least so.... even still, getting a full set of anything is becoming really rare, IL didn't have a full bathroom set, nor a full kitchen set....it's easy to see they are cutting corners. In TS3 we would get full sets of more than one room plus a few.
Fortunately, there has been an improvement of late, but the furnishings still have a ways to go. Will TS4 go whole hog one day and give us something innovative like, say, a sofa bed that really opens and closes? It so, I'm here for it. But at this point, I'll settle for bunk beds, sleeping bags, and for goodness sake, a picnic basket.
........are.....you serious?!...I know it's your opinion.....but....wow. I'm afraid I have to disagree SO much
