They did the same thing to Sims 2 and i think even the first Where you would get new content that worked with the old expansions as long as you had them. Such as Pets + OFB = pet store objects. Sims 3 really dropped the ball on cross expansion/dlc content and i hope we start to see more of it.

Just looked it up while I was building. There really are two bookcase doors, but I was wrong about one being tied to the criminal career. It’s writers who get one of those at level 10. It’s a more traditional looking one while the secret agent gets one that’s more modern.

For that specific example I don’t think that would ever happen. To be honest, I doubt we would have gotten Toddler mannequins, even if they were already part of the game, just because the Sims use them to directly change their clothes and toddlers wouldn’t be able to do that. But that’s me making assumptions.
In general, it is very easy for them to update every kind of content they release for Sims 4 because of Origin. That is actually the one big plus about the Origin connection a lot of people like to forget about. It can freely delete outdated code and replace it on the fly, so the devs can roll out a new patch whenever they want without it having an impact on any data they didn’t change. There’s no need for an installer, launcher or web hosting and thus it is much less of a hassle to patch the game than with previous Sims titles.
In short that means, they can easily add whatever content they like to every expansion, game pack or even DLC at any time, no matter how big it is. Of course, the whole development process isn’t that easy but at least the distribution is.

Does anyone know if the devs can add content to an already released EP or GP? Like how do they put in content AFTER an EP is released for physical discs? For instance, when they add back toddlers they’d need to do something about the lack of toddler mannequins in GTW. Maybe I’m thinking too hard here…

Well Toddlers would be patched with bare Features but it would come out a week before a generations EP.

I am near a 100 percent sure that there is only one career door and it is from the secret agent career. It is called the Hidden Bookcase Door or something close to that ;x.
