We waited another 21 days for... nothing?

Well I guess this post was inevitable. They've released the 21st anniversary update and we really didn't get anything to improve the game. Same old gameplay but now with a few new CC items.
I don't have CC in my game but when I heard about Lumia I researched him and saw he made body hair. We got crowsfeet added for our Sims presumably to lock body hair behind a future pack if they choose to include it at all.
I personally feel the team just passed off the anniversary to CC creators. Why put in the work when they could have someone else do it for them. That's the impression I get.
What are your thoughts?
CLARIFICATION: I do enjoy the things we got and I'm not disappointed by the BB and CAS items. My issue isn't with the CC creators or the content we got, my issue is the idea that they didn't have something like this ready for the actual anniversary and hyped it up to be something fantastic. Bunk beds and great but even then, we are still waiting about a month for them to arrive.

People say EA needs to interact with the community more, but when they do that they get told they're not doing their job. I just don't understand it.
At the same time though I really wanted werewolves lol

My thoughts is that you have very unrealistic expectations.
I was expecting them to fix several bugs though, I'm not okay with that they sell a game where the open stairs are broken and there are several other major bugs in the game right now.
They have to allocate more resources to bug fixing, this is not working.
i'm still thankful for it but it feels like a waste of an opportunity & potential of the cc creators, they have way better stuff and they could've make something more amazing. and the bug fixes are underwhelming. with another hot tub on the anniversary date nobody would've bat an eye, nobody was expecting anything anymore. why doing this?
Unrealistic expectations to expect them to include body hair in an anniversary update featuring a CC creator that appears to be predominantly known for his body hair..?
Interacting with CC creators is the community but that's also a small portion of the community. Its great they gave these creators a platform but the fact is this update is stuff we could have downloaded from these creators if they didn't do this update.
I would've preferred if the cc creators made new items that weren't similar, or the exact same thing, as items they've made before, but to me that's the only let down from this update. And hey, it's not like I had those items before either, so I'm more let down for other people then for myself.
I may be a conspiracy theorist for saying this but something tells me if he's well known for his body hair CC, he'd want to feature that. My guess is EA blocked that choice.

I think you're right. This is the same thing when the devs give excuses that "animation is expensive" (I'm an animation major, it's not), as if we're asking them to make a 5 minute frame by frame 2D animation movie about bunk beds, we just want bunk beds, and we wouldn't even care if they reused the animation from TS3.
They're just waiting to make that a selling point of a pack / wrestling with EA on the release to give optimal good press.
Boo for me not being ever able to have a bunny as a pet in TS
(can't stop won't stop)
Edit: also I must add that the hat and the eyes wrinkle are my favourites since they were mentioned as dislikes above
