It seems like EA just rushes to release them much in a similar fashion to stuff packs.

Oh my god...

Well, you can tell which ones are the "good" ones, and which ones are kinda thrown together. WA, AMB, LN, Pets seem to all be legitament, thought out expansion packs.

Generations and Showtime, however, filler, shitty, and rushed, IMO. Really hoping this next expansion pack is thought out.

Idk, it just makes me think. Compare the scope of content of World Adventures to Generations. It's just so... little. In Generations.

So in essence, YES. Expansion packs are the new stuff packs.

If Maxis ever did go back to developing The Sims, could they bring back quality to the expansion packs with them?
