If EA releases another party pack what would it have to have for you to buy it?
Sagana:
I don't understand why any of the creators do that, but it's especially bad with floors and walls. The environment scores go up with more expensive stuff, so if my sims have enough money, I never buy cheap walls and floors - which means a lot of really good stuff rarely gets used.
I have similar problems with beds, couches, counters and tables/chairs, etc. that give too much and are too cheap... they're ok if the sims aren't very well off (tho kind of cheating...) but nearly useless if you actually have enough money.
Dark Trepie:
I'll stick with just buying the expansions myself. I don't see any point in buying a booster pack who's entire contents will be spamed all over the exchange and other sites within a week. Like the SUPER UBER EXCLUSIVE HOT ROD for example.

I think part of the problem has to do with the environment score not being all that useful in the game. Sure it plunges if you have dirty dishes laying around or an alarm clock going off, but in an otherwise clean home using cheap decor, environment doesn't suffer THAT badly. So people don't notice much of a difference between using a cheap wall/floor or an expensive one.
It is worse when they do this with objects. Like I recently discovered that one of the iron-post double beds I've downloaded is priced slightly less than the low-end economy wood frame double bed, but it gives 10 comfort and 10 energy. C'mon!!!
Oddysey:
I'm much younger than a lot of the people on this site, and I'm constantly annoyed by the fact that very little of what's in either the teen sections or the adult sections is stuff that I'd actually wear. I haven't worn a shirt that exposed my belly button since, oh, seventh grade. Years ago. And that was for about two months, too, the period when I wore makeup. Since then, it's been t-shirts, jackets, and jeans. Boot cut gap jeans, levis--real jeans, not that "ah hah! we'll cut random holes in it and charge $200!" crap. There really aren't any decent t-shirts for women, the kind that have actually sleeves and aren't all clingy. T-shirts should be loose, damnit! "Baby doll" t-shirts are an abomination.
And the guy stuff . . . sigh. Some of it I like. Some of it . . . eh. That's actually what convinced me to make the handful of outfits that I've done myself. Lack of decent t-shirts. If Maxis published a "t-shirt" booster pack, I might even consider buying it. What I'd really like is a "geek" pack. Probably has a better chance of being a booster pack than a full blown expansion. Actual jeans, cargo pants, t-shirts, decent glasses (ugh! double ugh! all my sims wear the same two pairs . . .) more computers, more stuff to do with computers, science fiction themed clothes and objects. I'd pay money for that. Not "Holiday" though. I repeat: My sims are being godless communists! Nyet on the Holidaying!

I can't respond to everything I want to in this thread..but I am reading along nodding.
REally nodding at the fact that men need more variety in their clothing. And hair.
I don't know if I could put my trust in Maxis for fixing that problem though. So far they haven't shown much potential for creating things for men . Some of the outfits that came with the base game are somewhat decent...I still prefer the decent clothing I've downloaded for men though.
Please don't get me started on the hairstyles lol
All my male sims pratically have the same hairstyles b/c any new ones are just seriously lacking.
The ones that came with NL make me want to gag. A big mass of hair stuck across a sims face? No thanks. The womens aren't much better either but at least I can always download (and do) loads of womens hair styles.
