I wasn't excited about either pack, to be honest, but Eco Lifestyle interested me more and for the sole fact it had the voting system. I really thought it had potential, but that whole pack introduced nothing but awful bugs and glitches for me, and the votes are just plain annoying. (Who thought it would be a good idea to have a voting feature where Sims come to your lot and take everything?) The pack ended up being a bigger letdown than I had expected it to be. I don't even find the world to be that appealing and only use it for the apartments it came with.
Ironically enough, Snowy Escape didn't have my interest at all and I was completely against buying it, but I've now actually come to really enjoy it and the stuff it came with. The world is really beautiful and detailed and is probably in my top favorite places for my Sims to live now. I do believe it has its downs and some things are lacking. I also do agree with a lot of people who say its themes are recycled or too similar to certain themes and features in previous packs, but overall it hasn't really let me down.
Luckily for me, my girlfriend and I share the game and because she wanted both of these packs really bad, I got to experience them too. One didn't work out, sure, but the other definitely did and I probably wouldn't have discovered a new beautiful world otherwise.
haha yeah personally i was in denial about my need of gps (well aside from vampires which was always my fave and still is)
until very recently (like early this year) when they started putting them 50% off and i figured i might as well have 4 gps for price of one ep and now im just like bro what version of game i was even playing until now this is lit? :lol:
sometimes the theme you thought wasn't so cool at first actually turns out to be quite lovely
but it might need some extra push to make you buy it
(still dont believe im ever gonna get big enough push to go buying batuu though but we will see :lol: )
100% agree about the SW pack, hah. I end up owning all of the packs eventually, whether it's from buying during sales or from my girlfriend wanting them. She's a pretty hardcore completionist and usually doesn't play at all unless she has all packs, but even she doesn't want that one. :D To be honest, I think that pack played a big part in me being so wary about Snowy Escape, so I'm glad SE turned out better than I expected it to.
