Apparently they couldn't be bothered ...

I read these out takes and it comes across to me like they couldn't bothered doing a lot of things. As well as think we're all too stupid to choose between a car train or bus for transport.

I am not so silently judging you.

Yeah, the transportation one was just insulting. However, when you think about how travel is set up which generally requires at least two separate selections (first map screen to select world, then mouse over neighborhood and then select lot), they probably couldn't think of a clean way to do that with a list from clicking an object. Still, that field of white just takes you right out of everything.
Yeah, personally I think there is already more toilet humor in the game than is needed. The last thing I need is a talking toilet. A working elevator and build-able apartment buildings though would have been more than welcome.
Hmmm, in Sims 3, it did take close to five months between Ambitions and Late Night.
I have a feeling that there are far fewer people on the team at Sims 4, though. That's the only explanation I can think of.
... but they also now have a GP team, which they didn't before, and did they have a separate team before that worked on basegame update content?
Then after that we got them at a decent rate. Two or maybe more (can't remember) per year unlike the sims 4 which they focus more on rolling out the stuff packs and sometimes if we are lucky a game pack which is every what 5 months and then if we are really lucky a expansion pack which is probably like every 12 months. It's sad.
They have an "opening sliding door" animation. For elevators, they'd have to animate the doors themselves, and maybe do it for different height elevators? They can have them walk in, but they have to actually make it look like they're standing in an elevator rather than disappearing a wall since the doors are open. Then determining how many Sims will fit, what to do with those not able to get in, making sure Sims won't have routing issues getting into it, stuff like that I think.
I wouldn't even mind if we couldn't see in the elevator , they can just walk in, disappear, while the elevator goes up/down. An elevator is needed in this game, stairs take up way too much room.

Devs must be really lonely animating a talking toilet instead of giving us a functional elevator.
Anything is not worth spending time on and is too expensive
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?
Yes but GP's are not the same as EP's Luth, you have commented this before.
No, they aren't. Just noting that overall staff levels could easily be the same, just rearranged for a new structure of content creation. That's all. Fwiw, one that isn't universally hated - lots of people have praised the GPs including as a format.
As they should. Aside from the the issue with Sims not being able to work in their own restaurants and having to book a vacation to visit the camping world, the Game Packs all feel like they have a lot more effort put into them than the Expansions. The spa game pack was nothing short of perfection. Nothing felt like a cut corner.
Hell, even some of the stuff packs don't wreak of "bare minimum" like this newest expansion does.
The thing is you can cast a solid judgment on the previous packs as they are available to play and you most likely gave them a fair shot but with CL it hasnt even been released yet so you can't judge it fairly. You can look into available information to decide whether or not it's worth the money but until you boot it up you can not say it's the best game yet or a horrible ep. Its similiar to a film as you can read the synopsis and look at the cast but if someone tells me its really bad without seeing it or vice versa I would take that insight with a grain of salt.
