IF you bought My First Pet Stuff...

no any sim can be that ghost if they get sick @Jessa_Dakkar

Every Sims iteration has provided something quirky that I absolutely loved. In TS1 it was the ability to turn your Sim's pet into a Sim. In 2, it was the alien abduction. TS3 had the gnomes and the private detective's stake-out. I think with TS4 it's going to be the strange things your pet rodents can do. This pack got off to a bad start, but I think the hamsters have staying power.

Yes. I tend to incorporate packs slowly into my game and this time it's not different. My current household I'm using a rat, and some cat items including a pet bed. Since there is only a young adult and his pets I've used nothing else in game play. I've pulled all the stuff out on an empty lot though and already know where I'm using much more of the "stuff" when I swing back around to other households, and I made a new sim girl in CAS for the hair. It might take awhile to get around to using most of it though I'm in a sweet spot with current family and just really enjoying playing them. Part of the reason I love these packs is for inspiration ... and it delivered for me.
I am really enjoying the rat and although many probably would hate to hear it, I wouldn't feel ripped off if it was just that.. the animations between the sims, cats and dogs and the rodent and of course the disease/death/ghost process.

I feel it's worth it. I'd pay for the small critter alone! Everything else is just bonus content but I do like it too especially the coffee table. A friend was posting in our group about all the adventures her hamster is having and it's awesome! None of us has explored the new death yet, but new deaths are always welcome in my game!

As a side note I have no problem with DLC for DLC. I would love it if we could get something to add on to GTW! Even expand on other packs! *Talk about being in the minority!* I would never spend $5 or $10 on a cup of coffee, but my sims bring me a lot of fun and for me it's completely worth it!

Yes.. The family I'm playing now won't make much use of the pack.. because most of it very cutesy and it doesn't fit with them. I do have a rat and I'm really enjoying the interactions. I've just got a young adult male sim and a cat in the household otherwise. It's given my play a sweet little boost. I'm enjoying the interactions between all of them. I haven't gone into the disease/death aspect yet though. I'm playing .. nice.. and enjoying it. I want to see the poor guy get ahead. He might have to call forth evil rat death powers though if he get's cornered though.

I did look through CAS and build buy and yes I will use it for the right families. I love the female hairstyle... I had to make a sim for it. I haven't played her yet... she's got a sweet elven face. I'm not usually big on the two tone hairs but really liking how it looks that way. The male hairstyle I can see working but didn't float my boat with many male face shapes yet.. looks great on girls though. I can see using a bunch of the "stuff" with the right families.. honorable mentions to the kids activity table and bookcase.. much cuter than base game. The pet beds for variety, who doesn't want an egg or lemon bed seriously? The new rug .. I love that and can see it in bathrooms and kids rooms ect. The hamster habitat wall decals and the chow down litter box.

It's been a fun glowing game play day. I know these blow over a bit after the newness wears off but hey, I woulda spent more going to the movies. Besides I haven't even played with it all the ways I'm imagining I can.

I don’t know what movies you go to, but I love spending my money on that. Spending money on a good movie is as valuable as spending money on a good game. And spending money on a bad movie is a shame, a waste of money, like spending money on a bad game is.

(regardless how people judge this pack, this comparison makes absolutely no sense to an enthousiastic moviegoer like me; I also like spending money on books and many of them I’ve carried with me for decades)

I can understand her comparison. I rarely go to the movies. I prefer to wait a couple months and get it on blue ray or purchase from Netflix. I also no longer buy books. Reserve at the library. I'm just now reading Origin by Dan Brown and that was published last year. So people differ on what they're willing to spend their money on.

The kid chair is cute. I kinda don’t like that the adults can socialize with the hamster. I think they should’ve limited it just children/teens. Cause now I have parents with a hamster in their relationships section and it looks a little odd to me when I’m scrolling through looking for someone to call. I already have to deal with that teddy bear and now I have a hamster too lol. I do like that it’s another option for kids as far as homework instead of that blue or orange notebook.

(I think someone should create a mod branching off this but so kids can do homework on the computer.)

I think all the hairs look weird up close. The female hairs look like a mullet. The male hair looks unfinished, like he needs a haircut. I also think they could’ve added more than just a t-shirt for them as well.

Hey, what's wrong with an adult talking to a pet? I used to talk to my dogs all of the time. Now, that my dogs are deceased, I have nobody to talk to much of the day. :o :/ :'(

I like it…but I don’t think I’ll buy it.

I like the stuff pack. I have two families in town with children so I got each of them a small pet, (a hamster and a hedgehog, respectively). They're very cute. I like watching them run around the cage. And it's cute when the family cat jumps up on the cage to see what's going on.

I like the decor pieces, too. Several went well in the kids' rooms. Haven't used the fish tank table yet because it's too big for the house my family lives in, but I like it.

I haven't played too much with the costumes, yet, but one of the things I'd wished C&D had was more outfits for the dogs. In real life I don't dress my pets, but in the game I do and I wanted a bigger selection to choose from, especially for the bigger dogs. My Sims' greyhound, for example, always looks cold, so he needed at least a sweater, which I got from the C&D pack, but now he'll have more options.

Another one of my Sims got a cute little Bichon, which of course my Sim decided needed a little dress and bow. So I'm looking forward to trying some of the new stuff pack outfits on little Snuggles. :smiley:

Although I haven't used everything in the pack yet, I'm enjoying it. I play with pets in my games a lot, so for me, it was content I knew I would use.

I have not bought it yet don't know if I will, would like the ability to catch critters in wild snakes squirrels still waiting for a game pack that adds to my occult side witches fairy ware wolves you can keep zombies so sick of zombies too much movies shows lol
