Is my first pet stuff pack actually worth it.

I agree. I was one of the disappointed.

Me too. No question.

This pack sounds ALMOST as bad as the (Sims3) Katy Perry Sweet Treats! Only good thing about Sweet Treats was that it was a stand alone pack!

EDIT: I'm seriously considering about passing on this pack!

Not technically on the Katy Perry Pack - it was costumes (from Katy Perry's California Girl Tour) mainly useful in the singing career of the Showtime EP. So it was technically an sp for an ep also - even though the argument can be made you did not NEED the ep to use it - I have to question that opinion seeing as regular clothes it looked ridiculous but did look good as show costumes. I owned it and the only time I used it outside of the pool lot and ice cream lot was for the shows my Katy Perry Sim put on stage in Sims 3. (Keep in mind this pack was 20 dollars).

As for the small furry pets pack we just got - I like it. Helps me make a cheery looking happy place for fun families and their pets. I also could see some of the furniture as looking cute in a child/toddler related restaurant, play house, or even a nursery school... which are just ideas I have. I am particularly fond of the Pygmy Hedgehog and the Void Creature and look forward to having these additions to my game.

But is it worth it: well that is question only you can decide. To me, yes.

LOL, no, indeed you didn’t. I’ve never heard anyone stating back then “darn, that simply should have been in Showtime, it’s a disgrace it’s not in there.” :D On top of that they made us pay €10 extra for Katy Perry, which was ridiculous (but hey, we got a poster!). But I honestly think it was the worst sold pack in the entire franchise and people who didn’t buy it didn’t miss anything with respect to the Showtime experience. There’s quite some stuff in there you can perfectly well use without playing a performer by the way. In fact I have.

I am complaining why pay 30 extra dollars when it could have been in Showtime. :joy:

Based on extensive investigation, no. Maybe 10 cents in the bargain bin, but not $10. Too much is tied to C&D to be even available, and what little 'first pets' we get is mostly fluff and show, not substance.

Bingo :) those little critters are tied to their cage and sure you can pick them up but that is it. I had Gerbils when I was young and I would let them romp around on my bed and feed them.

No... I didn't even buy it because I already knew from the beginning that it's not worth the price. The content in this pack should've been included in 'Cats & Dogs'. From the moment this pack was even announced, I made a promise to myself that I won't purchase it... and I kept that promise. There's honestly no need to pay an extra $10 for content that should've been included with a previously released pack.

Its a stuff pack it only 10 dollars and the SP are the sims store. You expect everything in a pack and it to fit what you want. I have no problems with SP GP Or EP and I don't sit and say they should have been included in the Cats & Dogs EP. I mean I have but I don't think that now.

It's really not about how much it is that's bothering people as much as the content in the pack and how it's just reskin/recolor or what not of the same items in C&D. That's why we feel it should have been added. I think they should have done more of a focus on the first pet concept. My first pet was actually a parakeet. If they would have focused more on that concept of bringing a first pet into the game (maybe even a game pack for it) than throwing in what looks to be items that were supposed to be included in C&D (like the clothing, pet beds and cat items for example) I don't think anyone would have had an issue with it. I know I personally would not have had an issue with that. It's really about the principle. I appreciate Graham and what he was trying to do. I really do. However there's no way I could support something like this stuff pack. It just seems like a slap to the face. and by no means do I don't blame him. He has to answer to someone else. He doesn't make these decisions by himself.

Personally, I don't think so. I impulse-purchased it and EH. It's got very few outfits in my opinion per animal (like 3-5 per dog and cat), and very little furniture. I would've expected more variety in pet beds as well. Perhaps a dog house finally? The only pet bowl they added looks like a tree stump which also does nothing for me aesthetically. The "amazing" coffee table is pretty blah to look at after 30 seconds as well.
So really the only thing I enjoy is the addition of smaller, caged animals...But those should have been included with the Pets EP. Kind of bummed about it, actually.

Man, am I glad that they didn't try to include dog houses in the stuff pack.

After all the hubbub about doghouses not being included with the EP, I think that this entire website would have had a meltdown if EA tried to sell doghouses in a stuff pack. Straight up, there would have been a smoking crater where the boards used to be.

Meh, agree to disagree there. If they couldnt include them in the EP, I feel that they could have *at least* include them in the SP. Now it's just a missed opportunity two times over.

I have not bought it yet and I am seriously considering to skip it as well honestly a few people have said if they did not have to review it for the channel they would not have bought it. I wont lie that sends me slightly mixed signals on if this pack is worth it or not. I am honestly not sure if there is anything worth getting for this pack or not.

All I have to say is that it is up to you.

I'm not a "I'm not going to pay because that'll show EA" person.

It's not about spiting EA with my lack of 10 bucks. I'm not buying that pack because there's nothing in there that actually adds to my enjoyment of The Sims.
