EA Staff@EA_Mai, thank you for posting this trailer and the link to the blog! It makes it so easy to find news like this! ๐ This SP looks sooooo adorable! โค๏ธ I am very pleased that the new pet isn't just in a tank/cage/box, but that it has an exercise wheel, habitrail, and a rocket ship!?!?!? ๐ฎ๐คจ๐:eahigh_file:
(How do you spell "habitrail"? ๐ค Maybe it is spelled "habi-trail"? ๐ค And now I want to know what they are called in other languages!)
And I must say I absolutely love that new round aquarium coffee table! As a child there was a pizza parlor near my house that had an aquarium coffee table (but theirs was a large square.) I absolutely loved it! โค๏ธ It is also so wonderful that now our pets can wear some of our Sims' outfits! ๐
@CMeki, I see you were correct in saying that this looked like a new SP from the tweet you showed us yesterday! ๐ I also noticed the hedgehog! โค๏ธ That's cool that your sister has a hamster! I always wanted one but my mom is afraid of all rodents. Scorpions, snakes, black widow spiders are no problem for her; a hamster or a gerbil will undo her completely! ๐คจ ๐ :eahigh_file: Also, I always have loved habi-trails so I'm happy these are in the pack, along with a decal of one that I saw on the children's bedroom wall.๐
I love the Stuff Packs! (Of course my number 1 want is for a Seasons EP, but I have loved all the SPs!) Plus, many people have expressed that they wanted a small pet for their Sims! โค๏ธ
I hope you can get this SP soon , along with any other packs you are currently missing, like Jungle Adventure! Best of luck and Happy Simming! ๐ฅณ
@unseenlarks, yes I didn't know that "Habitrail" was a brand name either! I assume it is a combination of the words "habitat" and "trail". I guess a generic English term for it might be "hamster maze" or "hamster tubes". I also didn't know they weren't the best choice for gerbils and some types of hamsters! Apparently you need your maze to be scaled to the size of your particular hamster! They have to be much more fun for the hamsters than just living in a rectangular cage or box! The mazes and extra rooms are supposed to mimic a hamster's natural habitat! โค๏ธ So you can see why I was so pleased that they will be included in this Stuff Pack!
I have to wonder about the story of how the hamsters get to explore in a rocket! ๐ :eahigh_file:
That's funny about your cat not liking being dressed up. I think more dogs prefer being dressed up than cats. But I never had a cat (unless you count the Sims' cats!)
I wish you could get all the packs you are missing soon! โน๏ธ We will post pictures and tell y'all about it, but it's always better to play first hand! ๐
I think the My First Pet Stuff will be a perfect SP for me! I'm pretty excited about it! โค๏ธ
Well, I saw a video review of this pack. Much like the reviewer, I feel this could have been either a freebie or they should have waited on the release of Cats and Dogs and made a Pets pack. Then of course there were my other two thoughts where they could have waited and made an amazing Cats and Dogs stuff pack full of fun stuff and an expansion pack dedicated to Small Pets. Again, one to the pets offered in this pack, along with ferrets, rabbits, weasels, tortoises, turtles, amphibians, insects, reptiles, birds...
The stuff was cute, but again, I cannot see any of my personal Sims using most of the stuff. A lot of it really just made me think of someone who'd go completely wild and dedicated an entire room or even their whole house to animals, or basically a kid's room or items great for something like an elementary school classroom or a daycare.
About the only things that have a chance of being used by me would be the Aquarium table, which apparently has no fish changing/buying options - a mighty shame, the couches, the animal picture cluster and maybe the tall standing cat/dog lamp. I'd probably make a Sim who would keep a hamster, hedgehog, mouse/rat or that platypus/duck/ram thing just to see the rocket. I did find the mirror and the small animal desk/table lamp cute, but very unlikely to be used.
Overall, the stuff in the pack is very cute. I liked pretty much everything in it, but would it be stuff I'd use in game? Not really. The ones who would get the most out of this pack is likely a small majority. A Simmer who likes/loves to make families or focus on kid Sims would probably benefit from this pack. A Simmer who loves to build might benefit from this pack if they are hard set for certain items. Those desperate for a hamster, hedgehog, mouse/rat or just wants to get an exotic violet creature with ram horns and a duck bill may cave into this. A dog or cat fanatic who just needs everything related to dogs or cats may cave this...
I love cats and adore animals in general, but not enough to spend money on this. I'll save that money for my RL furry family member.
