There's Too Much Sims 4 DLC!

I'm finally checking the High School Years pack for the Sims 4! Will I get my full €40 money's worth? Is High School a time we even look back at fondly? I don't, but there's bubble tea!

Once again stating that continuing the series you should add the DLC onto the same save (keeping the last one on) so that in several episodes we'll find Patrick at the bar with that episodes character.

Remember when sims 3 did paranormal? Giving us zombies that showed up on full moons, fairies, wearwolves, vampires, ghosts, and witches for options on your sim? All that along with a shit load of new furniture and clothing options as well as new traits, jobs, and main aspirations? All that for $30. Now for $40 you can get this. Looking back at sims 3 again for the same price you could get into the future, a pack that added a future environment that allowed you new aspirations, robot sims with completely unique mechanics, and several completely different types of furniture per category? All on top of the new traits, shit loads of clothing and new mechanics just for the future environment like a constantly changing Descendents line and 3 different states to the future, even allowing you to have a new lot that didn't interfere with your standard lot. I'm not saying sims 3 was perfect, but when they had the balls to charge you $30 or more they made damn sure it was worth your money and even the $20 packs put most of the $40 sims 4 packs to Shame, like show time, that shit added loads of new crap and even gave us genies, ea has always been greedy but sims 4 is a new low

This reminded me of those memes about EA selling a burger without the patty and other ingredients and you have to buy the "patty" DLC to add the patty to your burger. Case in point, remember when the Sims 3 Supernatural expansion pack which cost 40 bucks has 4 supernatural race for you to play with. Now with the Sims 4, you have to buy Vampires and Werewolves seperately with each costing 20 bucks. In short, 40 bucks in Sims 3 got you 4 new race while 40 bucks in Sims 4 got you 2 race. Same price but less content. The same with the "Cats and Dogs" expansion with the exclusion of horses and you can buy "My first pets stuff" to add features and stuffs which should've been included in the "expansion" pack itself.
