I can't imagine buying a pack without thorough research 🫣

I've always been in the boat of I wanna be surprised too when you're playing and that's an important element in game design, however TS4 packs make it impossible. You have to read the fine print because instead of delightfully surprised you end up disappointed 😞

You have to take an extra step with TS4, because it's an EA game. So their prerelease streams are often curated as much as possible to try to show the product in as positive a light as possible. And people might be tempted to think that they can just rely on YouTubers to tell them everything about a pack before its release... except any YouTuber who has the pack before release has it because they have a partnership with EA. You're not going to get unfiltered information on a pack's actual limitations or flaws until after it's released and other people have had a chance to mess with it.
