For all saying the content pack is scummy, first the devs that work on things like this are not the same fixing bugs and issues, working on mod tools etc. Second, this pack is part of the Ultimate Edition, which plenty of people paid for already. It’d be really scummy to NOT release this in a timely fashion for the people who already spent their money expecting it.

I honestly don’t get the outrage at a freaking content pack that doesn’t affect anything at all…

I mean, there's obviously the stupid outrage of the "Why did they do this instead of fixing bugs?" variety (as if 3D artists can be reassigned to coding), but there's also, I think, an absolutely justifiable resentment at being asked to pay $10 for an absolutely tiny handful of assets. Like, apparently this is something like ten buildings and four trees? That's fucking weak. At around $3-$5 I think people would be fine with it, but $10 is just taking the piss.

I completely agree, the price is pretty ridiculous and almost no one seems to be focusing on that.
