I agree, @Ravager619 ! Especially since EA could have had us pay to get toddlers! (Many people thought that was why they weren't in the base game to begin with.) But they didn't charge us for toddlers and the toddlers were much better than they were in TS3, yet many people seem to have forgotten that and are berating EA as if EA was charging money for the air we breathe! :( I have enjoyed all of my EPs, GPs and SPs. I will certainly be getting My First Pet! <3
@ everybody, I do understand that some Simmers won't be buying this pack because they feel that this isn't a good deal or they are getting ripped off, etc. That is your prerogative. :) My prerogative is that I think the stuff looks cute and I think the price is fair, so I will be buying it. ;)
On the flip side, so many people complain that EA is "greedy". Maybe they aren't or maybe they are, but I've seen many greedy Simmers who think everything should have been included in the base game! They think that whether, pets, playable jobs, college, and more should have been included. Please let us not forget that greed can run both ways! :#
But what ever you decide to do, Happy Simming! <3
@MidnightAura , I understand that you want to get what you feel is the best value (who doesn't?!?) But if all of those items had been included in C&D, we would be missing other items. They can't include everything they think of and still stay in business. I'm not upset at a recolor since we don't have all the colors and patterns I want . (some people pay modders to recolor items for CC in their game anyway). Besides, not everything is a recolor ... the new hair is not and most of the pet costumes/clothing aren't either. ;) Besides, when this pack was announced they called the items that were recolors "pet prints" which is exactly what they are. Its not like they promised "totally new shaped clothing". ;)
For build and buy? Well cats and dogs build and buy was on the light side I think. Thirty two wall stickers? I don’t believe they couldn’t have added in the re colours and the costumes into that pack. I don’t buy that. (Pardon the pun lol)
One of the new hairs is just the same as the other but with highlights,mimhesistate to even say it’s a whole new hairstyle.
Ea make a hefty profit. Don’t worry about them financially. Believe me, they don’t need your worry.
@MidnightAura , I'm not "worried" that EA is on the brink of bankruptcy. I'm just being practical. If they had included that desk and chair, something else would have taken out. Wall stickers?!??? I was thinking of an object our Sims actually use! They can use a chair and desk (the decals are more for us to look at, not for our Sims' pleasure), so they probably would have removed another chair or table to compensate for the desk and chair that they added. Or it could have been another item, like the robot vacuum for example. Then if they had made the My First Pet SP and included the robot vacuum in it, none of us would have even known that it was "pulled" from the C&D EP! ;) At least this way is more honest! :) As for the hair, my point was that there was something that wasn't a recolor of something from the base game or another pack, so a recolor of a hair from this pack is not a problem! ;) Just like the pet costumes are not recolors, but just because you have no use for pet costumes you seem to think that this doesn't count. I guess no one else should be allowed to enjoy pet costumes then.
No, not at all, you want to dress up your pets -Fill your boots. I have never said no one should be able to enjoy it.
I have no personal use for pet costumes so it is not a feature for me that I am interested in, the addition of more pet costumes (many of which are from items we have already) I believe should have been in cats and dogs and I don’t believe it would have meant we sacrificed something else as I said (and many agree) cats and dogs was a very “thin” pack to begin with. Two pet beds, very little toys etc. I personally have no use for pet costumes, I don’t like them and I’m disappointed that we didn’t get one new pet collar if we had to get more pet accessories. But the pack coming with a heck of a lot of items I would not use doesn’t inspire me to buy it. If you want to buy it for pet costumes alone knock yourself out.
I just think again (as said in many a review) there are elements of that pack that should have been in cats and dogs.
@MidnightAura , look -- I only mentioned the pet costumes because they are not recolors (some of the pet shirts and sweaters are, but we did not have any banana, cowboy, astronaut, bumble bee costumes in C&D of any color, so they can't be recolors.) Then when I said that the costumes were new, you dismissed me by saying you didn't care about costumes. That is why I said "Just like the pet costumes are not recolors, but just because you have no use for pet costumes you seem to think that this doesn't count. I guess no one else should be allowed to enjoy pet costumes then. " I said that because you went from complaining about this pack being a bunch of recolors, then when I pointed out some things that weren't, you acted like those things didn't matter because they aren't interesting to you. :/ Personally, I don't care if you buy this pack or not, but my original post was replying to someone else (with the main point being that greed can go both ways), when you decided to challenge me because I pointed out that EA could have charged us for toddlers if they really wanted to? You don't need to pressure me or anyone else to agree with you. I hadn't read any of your posts prior to the one where you addressed me, but I do have the right to defend myself or my views if I'm challenged. You can do the same right back at me, but you did start this dialogue with me.
By now everyone here knows you won't be buying the SP and I will. Agree to disagree.
