If EA releases another party pack what would it have to have for you to buy it?
kasumiarmstrong:
I'd probably buy it if they added the body modification options they have in bodyshop in CAS. And maybe a caterer, and maybe some expensive maid or that stays home with the famiy. Some more objects that go beyond wallpaper and floortiles would be nice.
And as so many others, more turn ons and turn offs.

re: classical vs modern furniture
Though in some houses I occasionally go for modern, I tend to prefer classical furniture by find nearly all of the custom furniture out there to be modern.
re: low rise vs high rise jeans
I'm sorry, but I am sick to death of 99.99999999% of custom pants hanging all the way down off a sims ass (and thereby not lining up with a good portion of shirts available). And this do this for mean as well as women. I'm not 15, I know what a belt is and I know how to use it. :P Sorry, all those low riders is just a pet peeve of mine.
Which brings me to the point that the community it just horrible about variation. We have 100 variations of the same modern chair, 400 variations of the same low rider pants and 8 versions of every dress Paris Hilton ever wore. ::) Maybe booster packs around a theme aren't such a bad idea after all as long as it's not a hollywood and young hip female clothes or modern furniture theme, we've got enough of that already. :P

I second all of the above!! ;D

There are a couple of things that might spark my interest and one could possibly be a pack with hair and clothing. HOWEVER, not the trendy crap they're always releasing!
I noticed this way back in TS1. They made all of these trendy clothes. Now my first problem with that is that I can't stand trendy clothes. Most are just ridiculous designs made to grab people's attention for the short-term to keep them buying new clothes. If it is a style I like it doesn't matter whether it's in or out, my sims will wear it. About 90% of the in-game clothing in TS1 just wasted space on my hard-drive and the same holds true for TS2. Sometimes there are meshes with great potential so I always try to look beyond the skins and do something tasteful with those but I'd much rather have classic designs that look nice, no matter what. At any rate, in order for me to feel it would be worth the money (say $20 US), the pack would need to include at least a couple of CLASSIC clothing meshes for each age group and at least 5 hairstyles per gender.
Honestly, I'm still wondering what good those little 'suits' for the toddlers that came in NL are. The only thing they've done in my game is encouraged me to quickly buy something ELSE for a toddler that age transitions in one. (Pink suit on little boy toddler? Give me a break already!)
At any rate, another thing that I would consider is a pack that includes landscaping objects, not only trees, but things like rocks, climbing vines and what not. I'd only buy it, though, if it included at least 100 of said objects and that doesn't include the re-colors. ;)
Overall (Christmas pack aside that'll also be included in upcoming versions of stand-alone TS2), I don't think the Bonus Packs are a bad idea. I do, however, think Maxis is offering too little for the price. When you consider what an expansion pack contains (a couple hundred objects AND completely new features and neighborhoods) and that it costs roughly $30 US, $20 for 80 or so objects is a rip-off.

When my toddler transitioned into that thing, I really really thought "uh oh, I thought it was a baby boy, but it's really a baby girl" - LOL. Yep, cannot figure out why they thought a pink tux would be good as everyday clothes for a toddler.
And yes, I agree about the custom pants meshes that don't work with any top (I can't even find the tops they're supposed to go with, if there were any). I've got some rather nice male flares I picked up somewhere, but they're too low and I cannot find a single shirt of any kind that looks decent with them - pooh, I don't have that much good male stuff either.
Agree with everybody else about the men's pack and themed packs as well. And also the money issue - I think the EPs are pretty high (some games don't cost that much) but I get a lot of play value out of the sims so I don't mind too much, but I'm not paying another $20 for bonus packs unless they're really something I want and a good deal of it. (and I'm not paying another $15 for the base game, period :p)
