KYLE MCHENRY - I wouldn't jump to conclusions about expansion packs yet! I've read that if you play while connected to the internet, you will be able to use player-created building styles, creature creations and many other custom things - and share your own! Seemingly endless possibilities without the cost of expansion pack after expansion pack.

I can't promise we wont end up finding expansions after the game comes out, but I bet (since the game is so fantastically involving and detailed as it is) they would be definately worth the purchase, with another Universe-worth of material and styles to use (unless the exp(s) end up over-priced). If you play The Sims 2, I bet Spore's expansion(s) would be much more efficient and cheaper than the Expansion/Fun packs that Sims 2 has been coming out with (though I end up buying them anyway so I don't have to be limited with my Simly options :p).
