 Where's the couch?? September 10, 2006
MDK Fan (Ohio)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I'm still not impressed, even though my Sims have a new couch (after a reviewer, thankfully, clued us all in on the fact that the new chair is actually a piece of sectional sofa. So when you go looking for the couch in Buy mode, just look for the living room chair icon.) What doesn't impress me is the price for this new 'stuff'. It should have been a little bit cheaper.
In this add-on, you get a few pieces of furniture, some lamps, a couple rugs and paintings, new mirrors, some sculptures, a new very small vase, a new "old" stereo, some new clothes (mostly formal and new pj's..love the new silk pj's), one new women's hairdo, and some wallpaper/flooring/etc. You also get a couple of new pre-fab houses in build mode, Forsythe Place and a one bedroom loft. After playing around with the new stuff for several hours, and adding the new house & loft to the neighborhoods, I am glad I bought this add-on but still feel its priced too high. I love the new house, Forsythe Place, but wish a garage had been included in the design.
Maxis must've been in a rush to get this on the market too. The manual has an obvious error. It refers to the neighborhood 'Pleasantview' as 'Pleasantville'. Goes to show there wasn't much thought put into this product before release.
It does fix old glitches, which I'm happy about, and I like the new loading screen music. And there are other subtle changes that were made to the game as well (slightly altering the original once this is installed), some of which I don't like.
Overall, I am glad I got it, but would've been much happier spending less for it.
Too expensive at $19.99, wait for a sale September 10, 2006

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.
 Beautiful furniture ,and art decor for sims homes. September 3, 2006

A first I wasn't to keen on it felt a bit ripped off. I have since gotten into the objects and really like them now. I wasn't to keen on the fur coat addition and clothing. I thought they could of used some "fancy" clothing for the kids in it. The art decor is beautiful and the new furniture, wall coverings, and floor. Excellent job thanks maxis for all these cool packs you keep making , I'll always buy sims til the day there is no more sims stuff. Overall I really like this stuff pack and can't wait to see the pets.
