Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm going to try to give a fair review of this pack for those of you considering it. But this is going to be hard, so please bear with me. This "Stuff" pack, released less then a month after "Open for Business" came out, is minimal at best. I bought this, going against the advice you see here by other reviewers. I was sorely lacking for some kids room ideas, having done "Alien Rooms" and "Soccer Rooms" to the hilt. As a long time Sims fan, I generally don't like downloading objects from the internet fan sites, as I've heard stories of viruses being in them, and also them ruining your saved games. This stuff pack seemed to be a happy medium. I would be able to get new objects for my Sims, without introducing a entire new part of the game, as in the previous expansions. Something about the best laid plans - they never work! I bought this today, luckily at a less expensive price then Amazon, at Target. I installed it, and made a "Sea" and "Castle" theme room for my Sims. That took all of 15 minutes. This is the problem with the pack. Those rooms are neat and spiffy, but to totally go through an expansion pack, trying all the different options within 15 minutes, means to me that it's not worth the money. The clothing options for adults are limited to 3 outfits each in the Hawaiian style. There's no new adult things, just a few minimal decorating objects. This pack would have been better named "Kids Fun Stuff" because it's truly about the kids. My opinion comes down to save your money. I know people are going to be miffed with this pack and probably sell it in Amazon.Com marketplace for alot less then it's selling for now. If you must have this pack to complete your collection, my advice is to wait. If Maxis/EA wants to release stuff collections like this one, I would think a downloadable pack on the internet for about five dollars would be reasonable. 20 dollars for a pack like this just isn't fair to your die hard Sims fan. Considering that an average Sims player forks over 50 for the original game, 30 for each expansion, this was an unfair move to capitalize on a weakness of the game. (Weakness being lack of good kids stuff) Just my two cents :o)
