Sims 3 Players Loyalty reward

"My first observation was towards the loyalty rewards EA touted for The Sims 3 owners. They announced some time ago that owners of The Sims 3 and its various expansions would get bonuses for The Sims 4, but as you’ll see when you first log in, said rewards all amount to the same plumb-bob lights in different colors – not that impressive."

Even in 2014 people were still disappointed with EA and Sims. First one I could find about "exclusive or free items"

Sims 16th Anniversary Update

"Anniversary of The Sims by adding some new content in a free* Update to The Sims 4. The stuff available in this Update wasn’t chosen randomly, either – fans who have been around since the first game might notice a common thread here. There’s one specific thing chosen to represent each base game in the franchise! From The Sims, we’re bringing an homage to the Tragic Clown by way of a painting of the sad fool. One look at it and your Sim will walk away with a “Tragic Clown is Tragic” Moodlet. If it makes your Sim sad, why look at it? Because sometimes everyone needs a good cry. But fear not – there’s also a Plumbob Poster you can use to decorate your Sim’s room. It doesn’t do anything, but we hope that when you look at it, you’re filled with happy feelings of llamas and grilled cheese. Speaking of grilled cheese, The Sims 2 fans likely remember the Grilled Cheese Aspiration, and we’re happy to bring it to The Sims 4. If you want your Sim to have a (mildly unhealthy) obsession with Grilled Cheese, this is definitely the way to do it. The… wait, did someone just steal your Sim’s TV? Oh, it might be because they have the Kleptomaniac Trait from The Sims 3. Sims with this Trait can’t help but swipe objects from their neighbors, or the Club, or… well, anywhere they go. There’s also an NPC coming back: the Gardener!" Source

Ok ^^
I cant imagine if one day, EA will re-release as a little pack ^^;
But tbh, in my head, cc is just creation from players and not a re-production of a already-existed content ^^;
And...i did see there's a download pack on gallery but that's not work, see it's associate to our EA account

[Lordimbroke]
