IF you bought My First Pet Stuff...

I finally explored most of the hamster disease in last nights play through... well not the death yet. The deviant in me is happy with it. It lasts a very long time... going through multiple phases. I mean I saw some let's plays describe it but actively playing it on slow is way different then kind of watching someone else play it. When my sim became contagious he invited his group over and locked the doors. They all started coughing eventually and showing other symptoms and I scooted my sim away, took the cure and went to a safe part of the house. To me this disease is good enough.. to use for plague center stories and themes. I still don't know if those guys and gals will die in there in my sims home but the club gathering is still going on, they have food, water, entertainment and the facilities.. and they are miserable lol. If they don't die I'll follow them home to see what happens, but I gotta take a break so that's for my overnight game play session.
It's funny I've actually had more fun with this stuff pack than any others.. well within a short time frame anyway. It might be because I was determined to use it more thoroughly. Most the packs just sit there until I can think of how to incorporate them into a story.. but as a deviant player the story is right there saying howdy.
So yeah 5? game play days in still enjoying :).

We would have been better served by a small pets game pack.
Yeah people would have still complained that it should have been part of Cats and Dogs, but it would have been better for the customer than this stuff pack.

I paid $10 basically for a hamster.
The rest of this stuff really wasn't needed if you already have Cats and Dogs. You could get by without it.
It really feels like they just cut it from Cats and Dogs.

However, if it's a money thing, why sell Cats and Dogs for half price so soon?
It seems like it would be a pack that they wouldn't need an incentive to sell, especially if My First Pet was a part of Cats and Dogs.
Someone made a bad decision, or were forced to make a bad decision. It all just confuses me. So it comes down to me being punished for buying the game early. With this kind of practice it makes no sense to buy anything early. Just wait.

Since EA failed at ripping off players with Loot Boxes for Star Wars Battlefront II, I wonder if they are forcing their other games to milk their customers to make up that lost dream money.

Anyway, my sim is in her apartment dancing to Latin Pop after authenticating a relic.
She started chatting with her hedgehog as she danced. It made me smile, so I don't feel all that bad about my purchase.

Hello all,

I have removed a number of replies from this thread as we derailed from the original thread topic and wandered into marketing discussions.

Please do keep this on topic going forward.

Thanks,

Didn't change anything really. Only one of my families actually uses the stuff from that pack so far, even tho I've played with few different families after that pack came out.
I like the hairstyles and the items but the SP is nothing special.

I mean, it's a stuff pack and as such it's incredibly niche, but it does all it advertised it would do! Which is clothe thy pets in quirky new ways, add bizarre new assets, and my personal favorite, bestows upon thee plague ridden rodents of doom! Not going to lie, I could care less about the cute fuzzy pet outfits and assets, I wanted the crazy vacationing rodents and their death plague. Lol

I got them, and they are everything they were advertised that they would be, so I am one content and happy simmer. Now that today's patch fixed the apartment furniture bug, the real fun can begin! Lol

Honestly, the biggest thing with any game dlc is to always research the content and make sure YOU like what YOU see. Everyone else be smuzzled. If you don't think you will enjoy it, pass on it, if you think you do, get it! For me, $10 was worth having my own personal "Brain" rodent and a disease that actually kills sim's and can spread. I enjoy the failure states in the game far more than the success states. That will not even remotely appeal to other simmers, though. Everyone is different.

Absolutely. Took me awhile to get to it but I'm most happy for the extended disease process, contagion, and cure or death. Morbid I know but I can see using it in a number of stories and ways moving forward. I'll be happy to see what modders do with this also.
I like the cute little rodents too otherwise even without the deviant play parts .. they make a good, fairly easy to take care of pet.. adding social and fun without needing too much in return. I see using them with the types of sims I normally play. The sideshows with explosions, raves ect.. are all amusing too.
Love the hairs, Love the new pet beds and rugs. The furniture.. I can see using when it fits to do so, didn't blow me away. Probably won't use the pet outfits that much but who knows I might... it's there if needed.
It's enhanced my playing since it came out because it brought ideas to me. That's more than I can hope for.
They spoiled me with deviant play on this one. I might expect this every time now...

When I bought Cats & Dogs my first comment to my bestie was: "Man, no hamsters!?" - so yeah, when My First Pet Stuff got released I couldn't resist. This is neither the worst nor the best stuff pack, but I definitely need it in my game. ;) The one thing that really disappointed me was the round aquarium table, I was super excited for it and wanted to place the prettiest fishes in it... oh, but you can't.

Such a missed opportunity. It's still a pretty table but I agree with everyone else who said the lack of interaction is unsatisfying.
Everything else was okay. Yeah, all of this should have already been in C&D, but my guess would be that this is why they dropped the price for the EP so early and 30€ for the complete package (C&D and MFPS) is an okay price for me.

But I really wish they'd patch the aquarium table so we can add fish to it. ;)

I love the game, but I don't have Cats and Dogs, so now my hamster is dying and I have no vet clinic to help him. :(

How wrong I was! I just bought him an anti-aging treat on the computer. :smiley:

I have a Sim who is always low on Fun. Nothing seems to satisfy her. But playing with Hammy always makes her happy!
