PACK REFRESH: Luxury Party is turning 10!

Luxury Party Stuff will be turning 10 next year!

Luxury Party Stuff was released in 2015 and since it's release, the quality of Stuff Packs have evolved and improved. Now Stuff Packs include more than just a new gameplay item. They could additionally offer a new career, new aspirations, new traits, or a new social event. There is more stuff (and stuff to do) in our current day Stuff Packs than what we received in the very first stuff pack: Luxury Party.

I've created a Google Slideshow of my proposal for a much needed Refresh to Luxury Party Stuff in celebration of it's 10-year milestone. It's full of ideas and inspiration for what a Refresh could include.

In my proposal, I explore adding:

  • Exclusive gameplay
  • Social event
  • Personality trait
  • Build mode
  • Completing Buy mode
  • Diverse hairstyles
  • More masculine fashion
  • and more!

Why Refresh?

Luxury Party has lost it's main selling feature once it's exclusive gameplay objects, the Banquet Table and Drink Fountain, became available in newer DLC: High School Years and My Wedding Stories. Don't fret! The potential for new gameplay can be added in a Pack Refresh fitting of the Luxury Party theme: Champagne Tower and Cocktail Party Social Event.

Luxury Party has a lot of opportunity for improvement. With only 12 buy objects, there is plenty of room to add more objects and even introduce something for Build Mode. Buy mode in this pack feels incomplete and looks out of place because there is nothing in the game or DLC that fits the aesthetic introduced in Luxury Party. A pack refresh would essentially "complete the set" by adding more themed items to compliment the two design styles of Buy Mode: Glow and Glam.

I hope you take the opportunity to browse my interactive Google slideshow proposal. It was a fun project and I hope it sparks inspiration for a Luxury Party Pack Refresh . Thank you!

    I think this stuff pack should be an essential part of playing an ultra rich Sim. And I wish there were more activity particular to them, for example in Get Together, there's a premade club called "Private Club" which offers nothing in particular to do for their members. So, if Maxis ends up making a refresh, I hope they will remember to add cross pack interactions that would fit this damn club.
  • @Vyo4 good idea. Plus fashions and trends have changed a lot in 10 years too. It could be so much more now with more up to date glam outfits and makeup.

    I like the pack and it blends well with Get Famous but a modern refresh would be good.

    With the recent release of the Party Essentials Kit, there has been a lot of talk about party packs and many mentions and wishes for a Luxury Party Refresh.

    Players have voiced that maybe this new party kit should've been a refresh. In my opinion, the aesthetics of Party Essentials fits more in style with social events of Base Game, Get Together and High School Years. But this kit has created more buzz for party packs and is being compared to Luxury Party Stuff. The PE kit offers more items than Luxury Party at half the price.

    Luxury Party has the potential for new gameplay, as well as more objects and updated CAS. I invite you to check out my Google Slideshow proposal, linked in the original post, for inspiration on what a pack refresh for Luxury Party could offer. Thank you!
