This year’s stuff pack was supposed to be great considering how much time it has been since the last one. And simmers particularly at this thread are beginning to unify their opinion of the stuff pack, and it’s not sounding great. The recent news from stream has announced the name of the new stuff pack and it personally had my wig turned upside down for the moment I saw it. Moschino doesn’t have the kind of stuff I was hoping for.
I’ve been wishing for a stuff pack focusing on rustic weddings, new pool activities, baby stuff for years already but no. And the only one that we’ll be getting this year isn’t it abd my hopes ain’t be happening until next year or so. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who wanted these types of things. So, this left me pessimistic about the future of stuff packs. A comment of mine in Facebook made a lot people disagree with me and it says “Who the plum would pay 10 bucks for an advertisement?” which one person replied that they are the same of people who bought Sweet Treats, Ikea, H&M, and Diesel stuff pack.
So, let me explain each one. Sweet Treats is a decent stuff pack since Katy Perry was still popular (I mean very popular) during that time and she even made a version of one of her iconic song in simlish which was lit. H&M and Ikea alone are very common and relevant which everyone knows of, although I ain’t western and live in a rural town, you see where I’m coming from. Diesel Stuff Pack came with new car additions and stuff so that was acceptable and a very decent stuff pack indeed.
And then the Moschino Capsule Collection invaded the sims universe which has had a lot of simmers feeling disappointed about the collaboration between the sims and it. One fan site has also pointed out how awful the collab is and it says the sims are walking #ad, the sweater design doesn’t fit the sims, Moschino is very overpriced, and the lack of cultural appropriation (calling the freezer bunny as lucky bunny and it shows) for the sims. The article was written a week after the sweater patch. And I’m also beginning to think that hilarious baby ariel partnership was better than this.
On top of that, this collab is very mismatched and unnecessary. They gave us a low quality sweater with a ‘lucky bunny’ design that looked very awful and unfitting for the game’s art style.
And what in the actual hell are we getting in the new stuff pack? The same clothing that we saw from the promotional arts? They look very basic tbh and feels like we already have them in game in some form.
Unrelated but a few days ago while scrolling on twitter, I saw a fellow simmer’s prediction about the new packs and he listed Moschino as the new stuff pack. And I was like, you must be kidding, right? But it turned out that his prediction was right.
I just wish they had announced a collaboration with a better fashion company and tried it make it more relevant at least since Moschino literally sells a plain t-shirt for a price of 600 dollars. They could have just partnered with Gucci or Balenciaga considering how overpriced their clothing is. Plus, they’re more relevant and familiar which a lot of us could relate to but when I hear ‘moschino’ then I’ll be like ‘what that?’ I’m not really a fashion type of guy, so that majority of disappointment comes from my personal preferences, y’know what im sayin.
Now, I’d rather name this stuff pack as ‘mosquito stuff’ instead of it cuz pretty sure they’d release this then leave us with a mosquito satisfaction that would suck as a whole, pun intended.
Last, some of you might be saying how I ungrateful I am considering that we are finally getting a new expansion and magic themed game pack this year and that they don’t force me to buy the stuff pack and that’s ok, I immediately thought of that too. But I’m just really disappointed on this stuff pack wasn’t well thought and planned and could possibly act like an impending disaster that will enrage a lot of simmers again, similar to what we had back in my first pet disaster.
Sorry for my bad English, it aint my mother tongue, y’know what im sayin.
