Well, well, THIS is a surprise...

I've never played any Sims 2 at all, and only the original of Sims 1. Do stuff packs tend to add new animations/interactions or group activities? Or is it basically just a bunch of store content in a box... as in just different looking existing objects?
Store content in a box. Just items/objects sometimes clothing. I cant think of any that had new interactions. But stuff packs are usually much cheaper than if you were to purchase the items at the online store.

The very last stuff pack for Sims 2, Mansions & Gardens, did have some new animations, like the extremely annoying flower smelling, and the kids sliding down bannisters. The solar panels reduced the household bills, and Sims got specific wants to to buy green energy sources for their homes. And there was a new cuddle animation couples did in bed right before waking up. Nothing earth shaking, but it was a new direction for stuff packs.
Since that was the last of the Sims 2 sps, it might be an indication of where EA will take Sims 3 stuff packs. Or not.

Okay okay, I give up. I can't win lol. (*Gets off her soapbox and crawls back into the corner*) Pfft. I'll at least end this by saying stuff packs can be shiny, and I still want mine. :-X
So?

Money on bills is still money spent, gone, and lost. and if you've ever had to work 60hr weeks, you too might agree being able to get frivolous in your spending, and having the chance to "Throw money around" For a short while, is not only rewarding, but it also is motivating. Who wants to spend their whole life working away just paying bills, without spending or having any fun of it? Not me.
I've worked 168-hour weeks. In my day, there was nothing to do *BUT* work, because fun hadn't been invented yet. But you don't see me frivolously spending my money! No, I had to work HARD for that money. I *KILLED* people for that money, and I'll be damned if I'm letting some company have it for a lousy piece of cheap plastic!

As far as giving money to "Greedy companies" that spit on the community... Well I would hardly call them greedy. They offer a product at a price people are willing to pay. They can really only go as far as customers will allow them to. If they are receiving money, customers are buying, and if they are buying, they must be doing something right.
I see nothing wrong with greed. I like greed. That's why I'm not parting with my money. It's MINE, DAMMIT. MINE, MINE, ALL MINE!

And I have yet to really consider myself "Spit upon". They might be a bit slow at taking care of things, and perhaps a bit inefficient. But if you feel you can do better, start your own company.
I do. I can. I did. Somehow, I still find the time to clean up EA's messes as well. Sleep is for the weak.

While if you actually worked there, and saw things on the inside, you'd see a stressed out manager, who's wondering how they can make up for previous losses, theft, vandalism, certain demands, without layoffs or cutting down.
YOUR EXCUSES MEAN NOTHING, MORTAL!

You might see a cashier who's new on his/her first day, trying to get the hang of things, and wow, seriously, if you have ever tried working at a drive through window, listening to a person in the car saying an order, with the engine running, static on the headset, and people yelling out orders right behind you, its not an easy thing.
Yeah, well, MAYBE IF YOU DIDN'T MUMBLE SO MUCH, PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY HEAR YOUR ORDER. I've never had this problem, because I know that in order for them to hear you all the way inside when you are giving your order, YOU NEED TO SPEAK UP SO THEY CAN HEAR YOU. If your weak, wussy lungs can't handle that, BRING A MEGAPHONE. In my day, we didn't have fancy electronic headsets! IF YOU WANTED THEM TO HEAR YOU, YOU HAD TO SPEAK UP! AND WE LIKED IT!

For some reason, I can't help but agree with Pescado... I don't need to "throw around"/ splurge money to enjoy life. I can always get my guitar, play a little tune, cook a nice dinner (like my favorite food), or draw/watch anime. And whenever the going gets tough, all I think is that I just need to work harder. That's it.

If Snooty Sims has the correct information, this stuff pack is a 10th Anniversary pack and includes three items from the former Sims games, the heart-shaped vibrating bed, the electric guitar, and the aquarium. How much you want to bet the electric guitar will play the same songs as the acoustic guitar plays, and the aquarium will still only hold one fish.
That will immediately stop me from ARR!ing this. An electric guitar is very, very different from an acoustic one.

"Sims classic"
"CLASSIC" Objects? If you want those, how about the Portable Potty from the Sims: Makin' Magic (which can be extremely useful now), or the Chemistry Set in Livin' Large, or the Rodeo thing in House Party (great animation)? Sure the Chemistry Set is now illegal and isn't considered a toy anymore, but if you want objects that have been attached to The Sims 1 since the early days, why not re-create those?
OR THE DIVING BOARD!? IS THAT NOT A CLASSIC!?
sabrieljo:
just want a spiral staircase . . . not much to ask is it and I forgot about the diving board maybe that too ;D
