I personally don't really hate the idea of offering new content for cats and dogs and the small pets are cute. It's just small stuff pack that wasn't even mentioned in the quarterly teaser asnd we got two other packs already for people without the expansion, BUT i really don't like that we get more animal furniture and decor. We already got a ton of that and this pack has only around 3 - 4 normal furniture items.
There seems to be a lot of C&D object reskins in this stuff pack. So I guess this pack will heavily require C&D. I don’t see how this is justified at all. Their inability to make a good pets expansion doesn’t mean they should feel free to charge players for more things for another pack.
I'm telling you guys: they're testing the waters. They wanna see what they can get away with, and if you buy this stuff pack, it's not gonna be the last pack of it's kind and more shady practices are gonna pop up too. This is blatantly saying "remember when Sims 2 and Sims 3 gave you both big and small pets for $40? Well here they are for $50 and if you pay we might give you the privilege of paying us more money for more missing features in the future!!"
If this thing actually sells well, then I think this game is officially a lost cause.
I don't generally contradict, but if you consider monetary inflation since the time of TS2, 50 dollars for TS4 pets are still cheaper.

I'm going to buy it, because I like the content I see.. but it essentially means that the "pet" EP ended up being a $50 pack
If you are buying it, you're just inviting them to raise the price and slow development even more than they already do. This pack basically means both a $10 increase and a 3 month delay to some small pets.
What are you gonna do when they want $20 for a Horse GP?
What are you gonna do when they want $10 for another parrot SP?
What are you gonna do when they want another $20 for a Pet career GP?
You are asking to be price-gouged if you buy this. It's your choice and it's your money, but I would highly advise not just thinking about the here-and-now and what you see in front of you, but also about the future implications and the future costs.

I honestly really respect that, I personally miss the small animals from TS3, I just feel like many simmers and myself wish it was included in the expansion pack. It's a lot of money now to have all animals
Have I not said this before somewhere? Small pets of all varieties should've been in C&D to begin with, NOT a separate pack! Who even wanted this to happen?
When are we getting a doghouse?! Maybe they are keeping that for the next SP? lol.
There's a new cat condo in the picture, so a doghouse wouldn't surprising in this EP.
Of course, I just downloaded CC for that because they couldn't be bothered.
Yeah so annoying. A simple thing like a doghouse was too much for the EP that's all about cats and DOGS, and now, with this shameless cash grab they couldn't even bother including one either. What the plum.
"My First Pets Stuff Pack" .... Wow. This is the beginning of a chain of stuff packs connecting to Cats and Dogs for every individual small pet that people want.
Someone toss me a torch.
I hope "my first" means a sim child's first pet, not the first stuff pack of many
I love that we're getting rats and hedgehogs, and I like the new objects in the trailer. But those pet clothes... Just no
Still, I can always decide not to use them, since the rest of the pack seems good. Nice to see small pets finally, can't wait to see what gameplay they have!
Me too. Someone please explain why this needed to be its own pack. It even has the same bay window couch as Cats & Dogs, just recolored. The only thing that stands out to me (as insanely cool, I admit) is the fish tank coffee table.
Yes, I also noticed the bay window couch immidietly. Also, some furniture in kid's room have the same style, just as if they SUPPOSE to be in C&D... Wow... I usually try to be understanding toward their decisions, but tha stuff pack is just confusing.
Have people forgotten that probably the reason why Cats & Dogs sold so well is because they marked the price down by 50% the very day it was released and I believe for 2 whole months after? People I'm sure were buying it like crazy thinking they got a great value. And now we see the reason EA marked it down: So they could get everyone to buy Cats & Dogs and then a couple months later sell them another $10 pack which requires Cats & Dogs.

It's not confusing at all, they want your money lol.
and this is why I stopped Simming with Sims 3 - this is ridiculous. for $13.00CND it's so not happening. I think the modders out there have better items. Then EA wonders why people pirate games .......

I'm going to be very generous and assume that the "My First" name refers to rodents being starter pets for kids who aren't ready to care for cats and dogs.
Still, the idea is very brazen. Not only will I never buy this under any price, but I'm also very tempted to stop buying any future Sims 4 DLC if this is the treatment we're going to get.

I have to agree, this should have been in the EP. It really feels like EA is spreading content out to get maximum profits while doing less work. And this is for sure a paid pack, as it says "Stuff Pack" not "patch". So hoping it'll turn out to be a free update is not going to go the way people want.
This is blatant evidence they absolutely want to cut up content and raise the price by demanding X amount of packs for the same amount of content we used to get in one simple expansion pack.
If people aren't gonna put their foot down about this, I honestly think they should go nuts cause apparently they can get away with anything.

that is more or less how i feel -_-but you know what somehow there are people who are very excited about this. i mean someone told me this seems more like a must buy then a seasons expansion pack would be.
I was about to post in the countdown thread, but I didn't want to ruin the good vibe that thread is supposed to have. This is the first pack that I'm really confused about and that has me worried about the direction of the game. Someone please explain why this needed to be a pack of its own.
People were disappointed about the lack of variety in pet objects that came with Cats and Dogs, and now it seems everyone's suspicions are being confirmed: They've been holding back stuff to sell to us separately. This has got to be become the Big Backlash Pack, the Katy Perry of The Sims 4.

I don't know whether to be amazed or amused.

Yup do you really have to mention it? Lol
I was just too excited you don't have to be rude

What a mess.

Never in my simming live would have thought that expension packs would need stuff packs to expand there missing content.
We should have predicted this ever since they named the pack cats and dogs, oh wait i think we did.
I'm very disappointed I'm very ashamed
I no longer want to be simmer in this age.
