Customer Reviews
Too expensive at $19.99, wait for a sale
The idea behind the stuff
packs is great but Maxis is going to have to work on the particulars for
the packs to be a success. The artwork is lovely, the furniture very
sleek and the outfits are great. However $19.99 is too much for my
budget when this stuff pack only includes 60 items. Same as Family Fun
I'm waiting until Glamour drops to $10-12.
Although the clothes
for the adults are really nice I think it would have been good to add
dressy clothes for elders and children too. The artwork is beautiful but
it would have been a plus to have more from different eras. Same as the
furniture. Glamour is more than just Art Deco. If they had included
more styles in furniture and artwork I would have bought this
immediately.
If Maxis really wants to compete with the custom
content on fan sites they're going to have to increase the amount of
stuff included in a pack or lower the price. There are many fan sites
that have beautiful high quality custom content for free. Maxis is going
to have to set the bar a little higher to grab my attention at the
price they're asking.
I wasn't expecting
much and I was still disappointed
$19.99 is too much to pay for
what is included. Now that I think about it, 60 pieces isn't much to go
around. I was expecting to find more new clothing (there's no new swim
or athletic clothing, no new tops or pants, just full-set stuff under
everyday and formal). I was expecting items/furniture across all
categories (not even close). It also seems like very little in the way
of new building materials. I won't buy this sort of expansion pack
again, just the functionality expansions. This is just money-grubbing on
the part of EA.
Better for collecting
than playing.
This new set (a complete
living room and bedroom with a few new outfits) hints at what fans have
been asking for without expending any extra energy. The new pieces are
nice, with reflectivity effects that liven up the rooms, but don't fit
in well with the style of the base game and the expansions (the issue
mentioned in another review with the sofa isn't correct--the chairs can
be connected like kitchen counters to make long sofas as in Nightlife).
For
anyone who is making a collection this is a nice addition. If you have a
choice between this and a marked down expansion pack--get the expansion
instead. If anything the stuff packs appear to be an experiment in
marketing rather than a thoughtful addition to the objects and outfits
(which are classified oddly--most of them are for formal wear only and
cannot be used as everyday clothes). The TV that was a free download
when purchased from Bestbuy feels like it should've been left in the
pack--it fits in too well to have removed it as an incentive.
Personally,
I would rather they either put out more stuff packs (one a month with
the same amount of content) or just save the content for the expansions
(since Pets is rumored to have no new clothes and no emphasis on new
objects).
