So is it an EP or a stuff pack. I'm confused

Hey all, Ive been busy with school since September and have not posted much. I finally checked into simsvip today and read about the woods game pack. I'm still Confused about what it is, is it a mix of both? will we still be getting EP's?

And to those who don't believe it's me, I logged in earlier sometime I think maybe this month or late November and told you guys I'll ba back asap. I hope we all get along as we wait for this awesome new addition to this fantastic game :)

    Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. It looks fantastic so far. But I do see your concerns.

    No thanks. I expect the content to be minimal. Just bring me the first expansion pack...

    From the small blurb that I saw, I'm taking it to be equivalent to what we'd get when they released a world or venue on the TS3 site.

    Idek, I haven't touched the game since I got it in September. Idk maybe it's because I'm so busy or just not motivated to open it. I'm gonna try to play tomorrow and see how I feel about it again.

    So they're releasing more content and folks are still complaining?

    Game Packs are for ideas/themes that really don't warrant a full EP. A good example from Sims 3 would be Generations -- people complained that it was too skimpy for an EP (especially at EP prices). Outdoor Retreat is the same thing -- it's a narrow theme that really wouldn't fit a full EP, but it's something that a lot of players have wanted to see in the game. (It's been a popular response on past surveys.)

    You knew that eventually we'd be paying for DLC, whether it's a stuff pack or an expansion -- developers and designers have to eat and pay rent too, so they can't give away everything for free. I'd rather pay $20 for a game pack that's going to give me more options than the same amount of money for a stuff pack that's just, well, stuff. And I'd rather they do a limited theme as a game pack for $20 than try to pad it out to justify charging $30-40 for it as an EP and have it be a skimpy EP at best.

    You know what I'm talking about. It's about the lack of content being released. Why does it even concern you what I find skeptical? I am in no way advocating giving away everything for free. Have you seen anyone "complaining" about this issue ever say anything like that? Don't be ridiculous! Great you are looking forward to this. You think this is a great deal. That's lovely. For me, I'd much rather have a full fledged EP instead of a skimpy GP. We differ in opinion. Accept it.
