Is the hamster cage worth $6

there's a sale on origin. I never got the pack because I honestly don't care for anything in CAS or BB expect for the hamster cage. The pet clothes are disappointing and the furniture clunky and uninspired.

if I get this pack, It'd only be for the interactive hamster cage (which I'd heavily mod to look better) gosh, I hate so much that you can't put multiple hamsters in there.. these are social creatures. I also wish you could put one in a ball and have it move around. Functional tubes would have been nice, too.

So... is the hamster cage, just THAT item, worth $6?

  • I don't have the pack but from what I've seen honestly no. I guess it adds a new death type to your game in honor of TS1, where sims can die of hamster disease if they are bitten. But gameplay wise, the hamster interactions are generic, cats don't even try do get to them in any way etc. They just give you some postcards and stuff that you would otherwise get but finding a pen pal in a computer. The devs gave them the spy hamster treatment but it's all a facade you don't actually get to see anything besides some explosion fx.

    Also there are multiple cages, I don't know why. In TS2 there was only one and we could choose what color of hamster to put inside. In TS4 there are multiple for the multiple skins but they all do the same.
  • @Dreamdove...not really, imo.

    You sure you don't like any of the CAS stuff though, not even the toddler stuff? That plus the pet doors, cat condos AND the Hamster Cage easily worth 6 bucks.

    I was like you, not caring for the pet clothes at all, nor the adult CAS stuff...but I'm happy with the things I listed for the 6 bucks I paid for it. Some of the build mode stuff is also decent, for a kid's or toddler's room. They did a nice job matching it to existing kid's room furniture.

    Not really. I use a lot of cc so I'm not short on CAS and BB items that I like much better. The cat condos are just new meshes of the existing condos with no new animations. Not even the pet clothing seems particularly appealing.

    I don't even acutally like the cage as is, I only really want the pack to be able to get this: https://kalino-thesims.tumblr.com/post/172199941618/small-animal-package-and-recolors

    That mod is sweet. I wish the real thing had as many options as those. It's up to you, but keep in mind that it's probably the lowest it's going to get considering it's a SP.
