I feel the same. New packs are all super exciting when you first get them but after a while, they just become a routine part of gameplay.
I don't think any pack will beat seasons for me personally, but am relatively optimistic at this point. That being said island living has put me off from buying packs for a while, I do hope the gameplay will be more fleshed out this time around. Fingers crossed

But I do hope it's better than I expect.
Also, everything a lot of people seem to be worried about...bunk beds, whether or not classes will be rabbit holes. I don't care. I hate bunk beds, are you kidding? I've spent hours of time in university trying to UN-bunk beds. I spent every lecture sitting in the back trying to avoid interacting with other students and the professors.
I've never felt better than every time I've ever graduated out of any type of school and left it behind for good. It's a personal thing.
I'm sure I'll get it at some point, because if the story for a sim involves going to school, then I want to make that happen, and I'm sure I'd have fun because I wouldn't play if I didn't have fun with it. But as to the details of this pack, good or bad? Don't care.
I mean, I won't care about anything else at this point unless it's official body hair, so.
I like the robots, though.
The best part of the trailer was seeing Erwin in it.
For the most part all expansions have been flash with no substance.
Pretty, but completely unusable worlds. (Lots of fake lots)
Badly designed core buildings.
Interactions that become repetitive after one or two times. (had a pack that that was the whole pack (Strangerville))
The need to use custom content to make the game engaging and fun.
And EA not caring one bit.
I agree that IL could have had more but had a great world. Del Sol Valley's world is too small. That said, I got both in a sale and I am enjoying working through the content.
I'll get more information. I like the careers that they are adding but I want to see more. I'll probably get it but I'll decide when. It will change my gameplay a bit since those going to university might age differently than those who don't. I'll obviously only send certain sims.
I do really hope that there are more than 4 majors and that we can see some classes in action. If there are only 4 majors one of which I am unlikely to use then I'll be waiting for a sale.
Things that I expect that I truly truly strongly dislike:
- Bikes only available in the new world
- Bikes are only available for teens and up
- Small world
- No ability to build apartments/dorms once again
- Minor effect on career paths and not rewarding enough
- no overhaul on the career system. I wish sims would actually have to apply for a job that required skills, a diploma or course level
- No online classes which would be insane in this time era and since TS4 tries to be modern and digital when it shouldn't
- No general school overhaul
- Still no reason to get or keep good grades as they won't matter for entering uni
- No difference in the levels of certain studies. Medical school is different than becoming an engineer!
- Rabbithole classes or meaningless classes
- Very less game changing features and barely new gameplay
- No bunkbeds? But maybe they are in the update before
- No actual sports
- Again mainly one-sim activities. No togetherness
- Re-use of old features, animations to save time and money but then ask a fully fleshed out EP price
So this is what I fear. It is also based on previous experiences and Im sure many can agree on these fears. Hope that EA worked hard on this pack as I know this is a loooong time in the making and that they come back from terrible let-downs on packs lately.
There is no best pack for me because they all work together. I use something from everything.

I only care about occults and family game play at this point.
