I was just browsing the store only to depress myself and look at all of the great venues that are way too expensive. 
I wish EA would either make these more affordable or include them in stuff packs/expansions. I want that bakery. 
What's an item/venue/world from the store you wish came with an sp/ep?

Grim's ghastly manor (it looks like fun, but not 1,900 points worth of fun)
Midnight Hollow (would've fitted nicely with supernatural)
Savvy Seller thingamy
Business as Usual Bistro
Lucky Palms (and the wishing well thing that comes with it)
Lord Vladimir's Magic Cauldron
Malleable Mimic Voodoo Doll
Book o' Spells
Crystal Ball
Foutain of Youth
etc etc such and such.
And the surf's up set with Island Paradise. I think that was such a sneaky move by EA. :?
Pretty much all of these for me and much much more!!
Also if you don't want the clothes and hair...GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!!
And they keep getting even better and better. I have all of them except the gym. My favorites are the Serenity Venue,Boardwalk and The Grim Reaper Venue. :P
If you don't have the Boardwalk I'd recommend that one and the Bakery as well.
I actually have to say that I wish all venues/worlds came as EPs because EPs tend to be much better values, in my opinion. Stuff packs not so much.
I actually own all of the venues except for the one that was just released a few minutes ago. I'm actually sitting here trying to decide if I want to buy it today, or wait on it to show up on sale. I'm still upset that I bought the bakery at full price only to have it go on sale a few weeks later. So while I think on it I figure I will give my opinion on some of the venues I own.
Many of them I bought on sale, but a few (like the Bakery) I paid full price for. I agree that at full price most of the venues feel very expensive.
To be honest, some of the venues have disappointed me a little bit. I find I use the PC and items, but rarely bother placing the actual lots, or rather, I generally place them once to check them out, use them in that one world, but never use them again.
The venues that I feel are truly worth their asking price are the following:
The Greenhouse - I love everything about it, love the lot, love all the items. Use it in almost every world. Totally worth 1900sp, though you are better off waiting to grab it from the Daily Deal if it comes around again. Plus buying the Greenhouse gives you a big CYS discount on the Best of 2012 Compilation. Totally my number one favorite venue.
The Boardwalk - This venue has a ton of nice items, and although I don't use the lot itself anymore, it is fun to build your own roller coaster theme park to fit whatever world you are currently playing in.
Grandpa's Grove - This one surprised me, I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. It has some nice items, and the tractor is wonderful.
Regency Arcade - This was another surprise for me. It makes such a wonderful casino, and since downloading it I no longer use the Lucky Simoleon casino lot, because I like this better. I used to really like the Lucky Simoleon though.
And the ones that I don't feel are worth their asking price:
The Bakery - this one was especially disappointing in my opinion, the venue was too big, too cluttered, and just not very fun to play with as it was intended. However I really love the oven and also love the recipes, and other goodies it came with. Just found the idea of owning my own bakery worked better in theory I guess.
The Bistro - this venue is great as long as you don't pay full price, because it contains so few items.
The rest of the venues I don't really have strong opinions of, mostly think they are nice if you can grab them on sale, but a bit overpriced at 1900sp.
