Yup for me too. I'm looking forward to the little critters and the disease... and their secret lives. I like the hair.. especially that female one that I can see paired nicely with a fairy type sim in the future.. not sure why... just looks elven to me. The rest like build buy. I like the aquarium table. The rest is just filler though (for me). I can see using the window couch, the other couches to make hard corner couches and the blinds. The little kid stuff I won't use as much.. maybe that rat/splat rug for grins in almost any eccentric apartment.
Yes so many people are going back and forth... I totally see where they are coming from but I feel like at the end of the day, most people no matter what they think will probably get it.
SimsVIP wrote an article showing how this pack is nothing but mere scraps of content that should have gone right into The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs. It seems to be mostly recolors of meshes already in the game, and expand upon sets of furniture which Cats & Dogs added. The other selling point of the pack is the actual small pet, which is a hamster with numerous recolors. Pass.
I would understand if it actually added a wide variety of new objects (including new meshes) and other small pets such as turtles, birds, expanded functionality for the small critters currently in-game, and more, but this pack is really nothing but recycled content with a fresh coat of paint.
With so many other great games releasing as of late, I simply cannot condone or support The Sims with its current horribly anti-consumer actions. I'll gladly open my wallet for The Sims/EA when it ends this type of shortchanging, and actually expands upon the game/franchise with brand new gameplay, full of depth. Until then, it's absolutely shut tight for 'em.
I really hope so! A Seasons pack holds a lot of potential to breathe some much needed fresh air into this game.
completely understand where your coming from
I'm intrigued by the apparent disease, and I like the new hair that's been shown. But that's not much to like, all things considered. So, if I'm feeling particularly low at some point, need instant gratification, and the stuff pack is on sale, maybe. Problem being, the stuff packs are so rarely on sale that even if I did choose to buy it, it likely won't be for a very long time.
Add on to the fact that's been mentioned before, that selling DLC that requires an Expansion to get all of the content leaves an awful sour taste in my mouth.
Sigh. I just want werewolves.
@Monday , I don't know if they will run it again this year, but last year they had a "Summer Sale" (at least in the United States) that included the Stuff Packs. I got a bunch of them that I was missing at that time!
Also, I have one question: since you stated that you really want Werewolves and you also stated that that you don't like the idea of selling DLC that requires an expansion to get all the content -- if EA gave us Werewolves but you needed Vampires or another pack to get everything out of it, would you still by it?!?
Ha, yes, actually I think the Summer Sale is why I have almost all of the Stuff Packs that I do, now. I figured it'd be my only chance to go for it, so I did. And, I've been pretty happy with the content I got from them as well, so there you go.
And see, this is where my argument falls apart and it really is all just about preference and how much you like what's being sold. I would likely be all over a werewolf pack offered under those conditions. (Doubly so if it included regular old body hair.) I'll grumble about the methods, but goodbye to what little beautiful money I have.
My kingdom for a werewolf!
Also i don't understand why in build mode they had to make it a different cage for the 4 animals.... like can I just get the cage and choose what rodent I want in it by clicking on it? I think that would be a lot more convenient...
Yes I will defiantly be counting down the minutes... truly I feel like the coffee table will be hard to match just throwing it into your current household, thats the only thing that im worried about with it. I have played the sims 3 on the wii mostly (thats when I got introduced to sims) and now have played ts3 on my computer though I play ts4 on it and love it way more so I haven't really gotten the chance to experience all of those packs from the past games. though I think that they are doing a great job with the sims 4 and will make a lot of players content until moving onto the sims 5 if that comes
