If EA started to selling upgrades for old packs or continued with Kits, GP or EP what would you rather have? As for me I rather pay for upgrades that would improve the current GP instead of getting bugged new packs, where I don't kmow what we are getting

If someone doesn't own an older pack, buying a new or old pack makes no difference whatsoever. Both would offer a new experience to the player anyway.
I'd like the team to focus on refreshing older packs AND working on new content. They should have a big enough team and budget to do all those things.
Well Captain that is the question, consider this; you buy a basepack and like this and want to improve it, then you can buy an upgrade pack so you can comtinie play the pack that you loved instead of waitng for a pack of unknown content
Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.
Now, I do think many people would complain about paid upgrades. That is as DLC for DLC as you can get, which seems to be the soapbox I see stood on most often. It may still sell well like MFP, though. DLC for DLC does not really bother me as a concept in of itself, and Sims 4 is not exactly trailblazing the concept either.
However, it really comes down to content versus price for which I would prefer. If paid upgrades fixed all my qualms with the packs I have issues with, then obviously I want those and depending on the price I might just be happy to have them with all past negative feelings put to rest. I would also obviously want those upgrades instead of new packs I am not interested in, but that is the thing: we won't really know until we get it.
As for bugs, they're 100% coming either way. New or reworked or whatever. There is absolutely no reason to think that paid upgrades will be any less buggy than base game updates or new packs. So no reason to prefer one or the other there either.
As for the new packs...I’m always welcome to new occult’s. I assume they’ll due a werewolf gamepack and I hope they do it justice.
"Want the ability to do mani-pedis in your spa? You can! It's yours for the bargain price of just $2.99!"
"Would you like to enrich your gameplay with a Wellness Aspiration? No Problem! Just give us $2.99 and it's all yours!"
And so on, so yeah ..... No! Definitely something I would never, ever do
Also just look at the outrage that came with the release of My First Pet Stuff and you got your answer.
Considering it's the same kind of effort as updating the base-game (which won't necessarily turn into new sales) this is win-win. People who already own the pack get a free update and simmers who might have been on edge about the pack before may be swayed to buy it now.
The better question is, would you rather have a base game update, or a pack update? -Though, I'll assume they'll keep doing both.
That they are also updating old content is good to see, especially at the price-point (free).
BUT, pack upgrades should be a part of patches, not sold separately.
