Customer Reviews
A very welcome addition
In real life, my two favorite
places are the kitchen and the bathroom. So naturally, I enjoy creating
the same for my Sims. I hadn't really enjoyed how limiting it could be
before to really give a homey kitchen and relaxing bathroom. Whether the
Sim gods heard me or I just got lucky, Kitchen and Bath is a welcome
addition.
You have loads of new objects for your kitchen and
bathrooms to make them romantic or stylish. And the Sims benefit too
with new hair styles, bathrobes and pajamas (finally adults get new
jammies that don't look like like long underwear), and, of course, new
wardrobe. Even 2 new houses to fit the romantic or modern mood.
At
this point, there's very little that I could say is bad about the new
expansion, however, with so many new objects for your Sims, you might
find yourself not knowing where to begin. But hey, them's the breaks.
Overall,
while nothing completely extraordinary about the newest pack, I have to
agree that your Sim game library will definately benefit.
It comes broken from EA Games - Disappointment!
Pros:
The items are
more modern, and probably account for the most coordinated group of The
Sims 2 objects EA Games/Maxis has ever put out. I was under the
impression for years now that Maxis employees were all locked in
separate rooms and given separate assignments and not allowed to know
what their co-workers were creating so nothing would be able to match!
So
it was a nice surprise to find coordinating appliances and floor and
wall treatments.
Cons:
Do you have the Seasons and FreeTime
Expansion Packs installed? If you do, you will find that the new
interactions that these two add-ons bring to the game are *not usable*
on Kitchen and Bath Interior Design Stuff pack objects.
That's
right - if you have Seasons, you can't get leftovers out of the new
K&B fridges. If you have FreeTime, you can't Tinker with any of the
K&B appliances or fixtures.
And because it is a Stuff Pack,
EA Games does not provide a patch. Your best bet is to download a patch
from a third party custom content site. I had to use object editor tools
to fix the interactions on custom fridges I had. There is a patch out
for FreeTime that might correct this, but I'm not sure since I had
already fixed it by another method by the time the patch was put out by
Maxis/EA.
I somehow expected better from Maxis fridges,
especially since Seasons and FreeTime have been out long before Kitchen
& Bath was released.
While not a show stopper for some, it
was sloppy work by Maxis/EA to not make the objects fully compatible
with other The Sims 2 expansions they had already published.
EDIT:
While I hand corrected the interactions on custom fridges, I was not
about to do that to the maxis objects. There is a creator out there
called "Lord Darcy" who does make patches to Maxis created/broken
objects. You can google this name with "The Sims" and find his fixes
easily.
Nice stuff but there's one
glitch- some refrigerator options missing
There are quite a few nice
looking items to spruce up our sims kitchens & baths. Lovely walls
and floors and a couple of nice hairstyles too, which is a plus. I
definitely wouldn't pay $19.99 for it, or for any other stuff pack. I
always try to find the best sale I can because I think twenty dollars is
too much for a stuff pack.
That being said, there's a small
issue that seems to indicate a rather sloppy oversight. The
refridgerators do not have the options from Seasons to get leftovers and
they do not have the options from Free Time to make snack platters.
You'll need Lord Darcy's fix from MoreAwesomeThanYou to be able to have
those options. Would be nice if EA provided a fix but they never fixed
the Celebrations Stuff wedding arch so that it could be used for
weddings on community lots (a feature added with Bon Voyage), the Teen
Style Stuff computer is missing options included in other expansions,
and the Glamour Life special TV you could get from BestBuy is missing
Free Time options to watch movies. I'd be surprised if they fix this.
Luckily they've all been fixed by Lord Darcy though.
That being
said, it's still a pretty nice stuff pack. EA, in the future would you
please check stuff like this? Seems to show a real lack of consideration
for your fans that you didn't take 5 minutes to check that options from
previous expansions would be available on the new objects.
