2.0 out of 5 stars Too expensive at $19.99, wait for a sale, September 10, 2006

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The Sims 2 Glamour Life Stuff (CD-ROM)

The idea behind the stuff packs is great but Maxis is going to have to work on the particulars for the packs to be a success. The artwork is lovely, the furniture very sleek and the outfits are great. However $19.99 is too much for my budget when this stuff pack only includes 60 items. Same as Family Fun I'm waiting until Glamour drops to $10-12.

Although the clothes for the adults are really nice I think it would have been good to add dressy clothes for elders and children too. The artwork is beautiful but it would have been a plus to have more from different eras. Same as the furniture. Glamour is more than just Art Deco. If they had included more styles in furniture and artwork I would have bought this immediately.

If Maxis really wants to compete with the custom content on fan sites they're going to have to increase the amount of stuff included in a pack or lower the price. There are many fan sites that have beautiful high quality custom content for free. Maxis is going to have to set the bar a little higher to grab my attention at the price they're asking.

1.0 out of 5 stars I wasn't expecting much and I was still disappointed, September 20, 2006

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The Sims 2 Glamour Life Stuff (CD-ROM)

$19.99 is too much to pay for what is included. Now that I think about it, 60 pieces isn't much to go around. I was expecting to find more new clothing (there's no new swim or athletic clothing, no new tops or pants, just full-set stuff under everyday and formal). I was expecting items/furniture across all categories (not even close). It also seems like very little in the way of new building materials. I won't buy this sort of expansion pack again, just the functionality expansions. This is just money-grubbing on the part of EA.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better for collecting than playing., September 11, 2006

= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The Sims 2 Glamour Life Stuff (CD-ROM)

This new set (a complete living room and bedroom with a few new outfits) hints at what fans have been asking for without expending any extra energy. The new pieces are nice, with reflectivity effects that liven up the rooms, but don't fit in well with the style of the base game and the expansions (the issue mentioned in another review with the sofa isn't correct--the chairs can be connected like kitchen counters to make long sofas as in Nightlife).

For anyone who is making a collection this is a nice addition. If you have a choice between this and a marked down expansion pack--get the expansion instead. If anything the stuff packs appear to be an experiment in marketing rather than a thoughtful addition to the objects and outfits (which are classified oddly--most of them are for formal wear only and cannot be used as everyday clothes). The TV that was a free download when purchased from Bestbuy feels like it should've been left in the pack--it fits in too well to have removed it as an incentive.

Personally, I would rather they either put out more stuff packs (one a month with the same amount of content) or just save the content for the expansions (since Pets is rumored to have no new clothes and no emphasis on new objects).
