What are some in-game items/features you find ridiculously overpriced?
Post items/features you think do not have the overall value to match their cost. And no, "EA's entire catalogue" does not count (at least not in this instance).

I'll start.
The Aqua-Zip from Island Living has 5 add-ons and 14 colour options that you can either pay for in live mode, or switch freely in Build/Buy. Regarding the aforementioned addons, we have the music player for 1k, which is cool. The rest are frivolous things like flames (1k), fireworks (500), and colour-changing light-up trimming (500). Obnoxious maybe, but not that bad, given they kind of look cool.
Then we have streamers. For a whopping 500 simoleons, you can add streamers to your Aqua-Zip. Does this addon make it shoot streamers and confetti alongside the fireworks and flames? No. Does it enable some sort of hidden camera that acts as a prototype to Get Famous' drone? No. Does it have huge ribbons that make it look like a jumping fish as your sim performs tricks? No. So what does it do?
At first when I'd bought this addon, I figured it was one of those broken features Maxis would never deign to fix, lost and forgotten by even the community...nope. Turns out that for 500 hard earnt coins, you too can have two semi-transparent ribbons coming out of your handlebars.

I...I feel robbed, and I didn't even pay real money for them. Do you know the things I can get with 500 simoleons? I need a moment alone, a stiff drink, and a lawyer.
I need to see the light up trimming now. :) I think those streamers are important, fly repellant devices, they kind of fly around and shoo flies away so they don't bite your sim. :smiley:
@crocobaura
The Selvadoradans could learn a thing or two from the people of Sulani. Imagine selling aerosol-based anti-bug solutions for under 100 simoleons instead of barely-visible 500-simoleon ribbons. Tragic.
