@PugLove888 Haha, thanks! I was very pleasantly surprised by the pack. Those colors and patterns, they're my absolute favorite. Hands down favorite in the whole game now. I did hear that the ice cream effects mood, and that apparently there are a ton of flavors.
I hadn't even considered the weight gain, and to be honest, that's a part of the game I love too. The weight gain effects, both increasing and decreasing in weight, is sort of another larger incentive for the ice cream maker for me, at least. The weight gain dynamics are one of my favorite of the base elements in the game, so thanks for passing on that bit of info, too!
It's a downward spiral really, because now that I bought one stuff pack, I can't not buy the rest eventually. Goodbye money, you were nice to have once.
@Monday , I hear ya about wanting all the SP's! :D I'm still missing Spooky Stuff, Fitness Stuff, and Toddler Stuff (even though I desperately want Toddler Stuff!) but I can't afford them right now. :'(
I really like the two flavors of icecream that affect weight because sometimes I make a Sim really large or really skinny on purpose just for variety in the game, and sometimes for story purposes. With the icecream maker I can keep them like I originally made them.
The Taste of Diet is especially handy when they live in a small house or apartment where there isn't room for exercise equipment and if they don't have time to always travel to the gym. If your Sim is really large it might take a few servings to get their weight down, but it is still quicker than trekking down to the gym constantly. With one Sim I overdid the weight loss and she was way too skinny so I whipped up a batch of Weight of the World to fix this.
There are about 9 flavors that effect mood or physical appearance. And about 29 flavors total. A beginner cook only has access to 2 or 3 flavors at first, but any cook that has been cooking for a while will have all flavors up to their level of cooking skill. So you don't need a special "ice cream skill" to worry about! :*
There is even a flavor that either makes you sad or inspired and has a small chance of allowing a ghost to visit you! Several flavors have different outcomes.
To make it easier, here is a handy link:
carls-sims-4-guide.com/stuffpacks/coolkitchen/Many people love Cool Kitchen SP because every home needs a kitchen anyway, LOL. People who love to play families love Kids Room Stuff and Toddler stuff. The wishing well from Romantic Garden Stuff is one of most peoples' favorite items. <3 And while I hate throwing parties in my game, I
love Luxury Party Stuff for all the glittery gowns and make up choices! And several of these packs have new jewelry which I think is desperately needed in the game! Vintage Glamour and Luxury Party are great for this! And there is a full body sleeping gown in Vintage glamour that I am
obsessed with! :p <3
But like I said, I have found something to love about every pack. o:) Maybe I'm easy to please, but I've never been disappointed. Others though, have been disappointed. But I think many people just expect too much from stuff packs and are better off sticking to Game Packs and Expansion Packs. I
will eventually get every pack, its just a matter of finances at the moment! ;)
Happy Simming!
