Stuff packs ain't cheap.

At this point of tike there is 14 stuff packs, each cost 10$ that would 140$ for stuff packs compilation and you would hardly get enough content to expand on the base game and keep you interested for more than two weeks. In that money you could have bought 3 and a half expension packs which are guaranteed to give you more gameplay than 14+ which you would get in said stuff packs.

The existence of stuff packs is not doing the game any good, so i personally think they should d cease to exist.

I like stuff packs.

If it's a choice between going to see a movie for 2 hours, eating out at maccies or buying a stuff pack I can enjoy for a few years I know which one I always opt for ;)

Actually the Tiny Living Stuff Pack is what brought me back to playing after not playing for a month. So I say I like SP's they are all unique and interesting.

Where I live I can buy 2 stuff packs for the price of a movie haha!

I agree the full game is expensive, but I don't have cable, cellphone data (or even pay per minute, I only use free wifi), I don't go out to eat, or drink, other than treating my kid to the odd fast food meal (just the food no beverages). My entertainment budget is all used on this game, and when it comes down to it, I've played it for over 1000 hours, meaning I've paid approx 45 cents/hour of entertainment haha which really isn't bad at all.

I actually like SPs and don't mind them... as long as they go on sale every once in a while, which they never do in the US.

How were TS2 stuff packs that great? It was only clothes/furniture/decor items and a premade house or two, for $20.

Yes, Sims 2 packs were more expensive, and they didn't have "new" gameplay items, but in those days stuff packs weren't "essential" if you needed a certain item. For example, an item like the murphy bed came with Apartment Life. Expansion packs in those days were CRAMMED full of new items like that. These days, if you're going for a certain type of build, and there's one item you need - for example, a hot tub - you can't have it unless you have Perfect Patio Stuff. Things like that. Although I will say the current model we have with these stuff packs is MUCH better than the sets from the Sims 3 store. Those were crap and expansive as hell. But anyways, what I like about Sims 2 stuff packs is that, even though they didn't have new gameplay, they had full, cohesive sets of items, great for if you were building/creating sims with a certain look in mind. I mean, it's all subjective and nothing wrong with preferring the new model of stuff packs - after all they are half the price - but personally, I prefer it the old way.
