Holiday Addon pack announced
ZephyrZodiac:
Well, I don't mind the idea of extras which you have to pay for, but they should be extras for EVERYONE!!!! They certainly shouldn't be included free in a revamp of the base game! (And once you have EPs, the only time you ever use the base game again is when you have to do a total reinstall, so it's not as if getting an extra copy would ever be worth it! Unlike an EP, which you may have running on a desktop and a laptop with all the hassle of constantly switching CDs from one to the other, and it might be worth buying a second copy!)
They did, of course, do exactly the same with Sims 1 when they brought out De Luxe!
KatEnigma:
Apparently they decided to split the difference between (barely) reasonable and totally outrageous, and the cost will be $15. Oh, and free standard shipping via the slow boat. :D
ZephyrZodiac:
Why couldn't it have been done as a download? Then the buyer could just put it on a CD and store it with the original game themselves.
Diala:
If this was a set of regular items (or items that have any use to me), I would probably be willing to blow the $15 on it. I am an item junkie, after all. However, for just holiday items? I don't even use those, or feel the need to use them. Still, I will give some consideration to it, and hopefully a list of the items and possible interactions and special features will come out on a Sims 2 website somewhere. Chances are, I won't be buying it, unless it REALLY lowers in price.

It doesnt sound like it will be just new items, but will also have new behaviors and interactions.
So more of the stupid Fart in Someone's Face and Fling Water At stupid interactions? No thank you. And it's pretty much guaranteed that it'll be riddled with bugs. It's just the kind of gimmicky thing they'd make in a hurry, with dollar signs in their eyes, and not bother to test.
It's impossible that they can give this stuff away for free -- in that case it'd be classed as a virus and they'd be sued. The only things I'd pay money for as add-ons are the missing clothing, hairstyles, and object colours that were seen in the preview shots for the original game.
