What's up with this crap 40$ Expansion pack?

I thought the Ambitions pack was a little pricey just for some new interactive jobs (Especially because the Ghost hunter profession [The only reason I wanted the pack] was bugged and you couldn't even progress in it past a certain point). But FORTY dollars? For THREE new interactive jobs. What kind of crap is this? I've spent a lot of money on DLC before, but why should I purchase a game costing more than sixty dollars, and then turn around and spend another forty on a DLC that gives only three new jobs, that you can interact with. While i'm sure this will get flamed, the people who have the mindset this an okay thing to do, is why DLC is so petty, and so expensive. It's crap. I'm not a hobo, i'm not broke. If I really wanted I could waste the money on it, but it isn't right that so much corporate greed should be looked over.
"Oh, a new DLC that give's three new interactive jobs, the price is forty dollars? SURE take my money and keep selling it at such a high price". It's pure idiocy. Glad there's the money back guarantee. I'll just buy it later at the price it should be at from a third party. EA sucks too much.

I would love the opportunity to visit the work sites out of work hours to interact with your colleagues more.
> I think it is one of the most charming expansion packs released in a long time. I like the fact that they have gone to do three really fleshed out careers instead of the multiple that are hit of miss.

What? Pretty much the last sentence is what is say, what for.
Can't you interact with colleagues out of work hours anyways?
This is the truth.

Believe or you will not see.
I'm with you, WolfEyes. There is a ton of new stuff and another town AND you can own a business, AND you can go shopping, etc. I think it's well worth it.
On a side not, I know I am gonna take a lot of flak for it, but can we all stop saying "plum"? It was cute the first day, but...
"Plum" is the forum censor...
You should not, if that's your concern, avoid it, but considering the "story" of The Sims, or just looking back to The Sims 3, I don't know why you pretend to believe this could change. Base game + Expansion packs, stuff packs and anything else pack is the way The Sims games works, so maybe it wasn't a good idea to buy the game? (in case you already have it) If you are someone who don't like this kind of "business strategies", is kinda odd you got the game, is not a secret that this has been the way the franchise works, this is not new.
Is this fair? probably not, all depends to whom you ask.
I'm curious to see what the next ep or gp will be about.

On top of that, we have a new Baking skill, Photography skill and the ability to run our own businesses. The new businesses combined with the new skills allow you to run your own bakery or photography studio.
This expansion is basically two expansions in one (Ambitions and Open for Business) and it's about ten dollars cheaper than just Ambitions alone was so I really don't see what your problem is with GTW.
Not that I'm saying you have to buy it. You don't have to spend money on anything you don't want to spend your money on, that's perfectly fine, but you can't exactly call something garbage when you clearly know very little about it.
The Genesis Challenge (Sims 4)
This EP isn't just about careers it offers more like aliens,an alien world,photography,a new easy listening station,a new neighborhood and a chance for our sims to shop at npc run stores. And then there is the new cas assets with new makeups,hairs,tattoos etc. I love that beanie hat.
I think the cas parts were great too! I love the beanie and some of the new female hairs are the cutest hairs yet
Cat is right. Dlc adds small things and EP's add a whole bunch of things. Dlc's can only be purchased online where as EP's can be purchased in store and online. There is a big difference comparing the two.

I bought this pack for the retail aspect, but it's pretty bugged and dumbed down from OFB.

I paid $29.99 for mine on Amazon with free 2 day shipping. Always check there first.
I remember Sims 1 EP's being 20 bucks, and Sims 2 ones going for 30, but you know what? They were chock full of new items, interactions and CAS stuff! I had so much fun and kept looking forward to the new EPs and couldn't stop playing, making new Sims, giving them new stuff. But that's marketing for you. Think about it. Sims 1 NEVER had SPs. That didn't start until Sims 2. More and more kept coming until the end of that certain series. EA thought that they could get away with Sims 3, selling a lot of stuff that came in previous packs through the store an got greedy. Yeah, they did that with Sims 2, but it wasn't so ridiculous and you could pick what you wanted in your game. Sims 3, was either a whole set, a new world, some even costing more than an EP or a SP with little provided. Stuff packs for 20 bucks wasn't bad, but half the items weren't even interactive and left us quite disappointed.
But seeing how Sims 4 is shifting gears back now, and actually seem more promising like Sims 2, I'd say the 40 bucks is worth it. Could they sell it for less? Oh yeah. Are they going to? No, but waiting for sales seems to be more of the smarter route than just having EA take your money right at the start. Limited editions? Ha! Not so limited. Origin was having a sale for the base game and the outdoor stuff for 50% off.
Can it wait? Yes; it's not going anywhere for a long time. I'm trying my best to wait, especially seeing and reading about so many bugs and glitches. So, again, let's look at how Sims 4 is going back to its original Simmy roots, and hopefully won't make us regret buying it or falling for SPs like Sims 3 and kicking ourselves in the head later for it, I believe it's worth waiting a while for.
