OMG yes, the Seeing Stars set came out the same week as Showtime and it looked straight out of it. And the surf station came out not long after Island Paradise.
Showtime itself was thought to be the missing half of Late Night... Wasn't a big fan of Showtime...
Aw I liked ST even though it had a lot of hate. The careers were fun and it had pool tables and karaoke!
I didn't like the fact that content I paid for was locked behind the Simport system; you had to send your Sim on Simport in order to unlock the content. At least, until a wonderful member of the modding community developed a mod to unlock everything, then I didn't mind the careers (except for the fact that you lost all the skills you learned if you quit the career).
OH, ST was a mess. Not only was a ton of content locked behind Simports, but also, not only did they not have the server space FOR Simports, but worse, it also often left other people's CC in the game. Why they thought it was a good idea to have a Sim actually GO to someone else's world is beyond me.
Showtime didn't strike me as the other half of Nightlife, though it was disappointing that with it bands couldn't have a singer.
However, go back on these forums a couple of months and you'll see the most common complaint was how little content there was for pets in C&D and how many people who paid full price felt ripped off. It didn't help that the EP went on sale 50% off two weeks after release either.
So I think it's a combination of things that has people mad about this:
It was a $40 EP that frankly fell quite short item wise compared to previous Pet Packs.
It went on sale very quickly after release, which made people who spent full price feel even more ripped off.
Now a few months later a pack is being released for $10 that includes quite a few of the items that people thought were lacking (not even talking about the small pet here). People who were already feeling a bit ripped off over the first thing of course are going to be feeling even more ripped off now.
