I was fine with it at first. I am not sure how I feel about it now. This whole my first pet stuff pack was just wrong. The stuff pack offering the hot tubs was just wrong too.
In my opinion, the Sims 3 store was just as terrible. Selling worlds(not expansions) for like $35 bucks and not being able to get the gameplay item separately. It forced you to buy some worlds. I will give them that the worlds were beautiful enough to sell at that price but most were not utilized because we were confined to one world without mods.
Many people have said with the Sims 3 store you could pick and choose what you wanted to buy and I disagree. There were so many times I wanted one specific thing and I was met with the this is not available for individual sale. If I wanted the canning station, I had to buy the 17 dollar set. If I wanted the popcorn and cotton candy maker, I had to buy the 19 dollar set. If I wanted the playpen and walker, I had to buy the world.
So I have to say I have been concerned about how the Sims 3 was and Sims 4 is being broken up and sold. I will say Sims 3's quality was better but still not worth the prices I had to pay. Buying a "gold" world back then was almost the same cost of an expansion if not more.
