Because Maxis (not EA) do not want to repeat the same theme with the same content. That is why Sims 4 packs do not have the same content. It could have been a NightLife Expansion like in TS2 and TS3 however instead on focusing on Nightlife, they balanced it out with new features for Daytime City activities something that was not present in the previous City Themed Packs such as Late Night and NightLife. I understand that many of you do not like that and want the old features to be in the same EP but for me I love something new.

The budget spend for Vet Career could have spent for Small pets, but for me I love the Business in the Game. a lot of people seem to not notice how The Sims 4 EP's when repeating an old theme, they cut old features to replace them with the new once. they made BANK off cats and dogs and could've easily covered the costs of hamster animations and crappy recolors.īecause the Small Pets was replaced by a new feature. they should've released that as a free pack if it was something they explored afterwards. My first pet stuff however, no fucking excuse. people genuinely wanted to play with that and seasons that came just a few more months later. This isnt an excuse for why EA did this, but just a plausible explanation as to whyįrankly i think they could've gone further with the budget, if it was this reason, because sims 4 practically exploded in popularity with the release of cats and dogs. i'm guessing because of that the budget was smaller so they could only focus on cats and dogs (horses were supposed to be in there, got rather far into development, but not finished due to im guessing time and money) their budget was smaller since sims 4 had a very very rough launch. I think its because at the time cats and dogs was in production, sims 4 was not doing as well as it is doing now. Why some things are free updates and others we only get with a game pack or EP? Let me hear any and all gripes you have with the game or your theories on why they did what they did. It just really hurts my soul that I can’t play with other animals unless I install sims 3, which has never appeared to be optimized correctly and just will not work on most machines.

Why is it that Sims 4 team just will not add things that were in previous games? I understand EA is greedy.

I always assumed we’d get them eventually, but it’s been how long since cats and dogs came out? How long since my first pet stuff came out? And they are so boring I don’t bother having them in most of my households. Sims 3 they brought cats, dogs, horses, small rodents, turtles, small birds, big birds, and snakes all in one EP. This infuriated me every time I think about playing with pets in s4.
