With reviews of stuff packs you often see multiple complaints regarding the amount of content versus the price. This is easily arguable and when comparing the amount of content in an expansion pack versus a stuff pack and then the price comparison you are indeed better off buying the expansions. BUT, sometimes you are in the market for something in particular. Yes, there are many custom content creators out there who can rival EA for quality and value, but not everyone is comfortable downloading custom content and others prefer knowing the content they get is going to be completely game compatible. That is when stuff packs are the most useful.

All that said... Teen Style Stuff is my first stuff pack purchase. I've been interested in other stuff packs but the price has made them not essential to my gaming experience. The gothic furniture was my main interest but the socialite and sporty styles were also a draw. With Teen Style Stuff the pack does stress the teenaged sims.

There are new full body outfits for teen males and females, new pajamas and work-out wear for girls and work-out wear for boys. A handful of new hairstyles, which include styles with visors and trucker hats. These visor and hat styles do match with the outfits for the teens. In addition to these there are items for practical use such as beds, end tables, chairs, lamps, a tv, a radio and a computer. You'll also get a lot of decorative items including a 'rug' that looks like a clothes strewn on the floor. Lastly, there are wallpapers and floors to match it all. (For screenshots and pictures of the items mentioned you can check EA's The Sims 2 website or google for them).

After loading this stuff pack up into my game I sat down and played with the available items, including making new teen sims with the hairstyles and clothing. The clothing choices I very much liked though they were pretty much color variations on the same small handful of styles (but that's how it is with the game anyway). The hairstyles didn't thrill me really, but the hat options were fitting with current trends. As far as the items go, I had fun creating a couple of bedrooms with them and I liked that while there were three different styles most items could be mixed around between them to some extent. The only things I wasn't really impressed with were the flooring options. The carpets did not match very well with the wallpapers in my opinion.

Overall, I am very pleased with this stuff pack. I was able to purchase mine for the $15.99 price here on Amazon which is a bit better of a price than the $19.99. If you know what you're getting the price shouldn't be a deterant. I chose this pack because I felt it had the most items I would actually enjoy and make use of, and it is just what I was hoping it would be. This might be Teen Style Stuff but the decorative items and practical items would be perfect for children and even dorm rooms if you have the University expansion. This is not the stuff pack for you if you do not play many child, teen or young adult sims.

I'm a huge fan of The Sims and The Sims 2; I own all the exspansion packs. I, however, was a bit hesitent about buying any of these "Stuff Packs," because why spend twenty dollars on a couple new objects when you can go to websites like TheSimsResource.com and ModTheSims2.com and download even better user-created things for free? But when this one came out I just couldn't resist buying it because of all the Princess stuff (and I'm a sucker for princess stuff) even though I knew it would probably be a waste. It turned out not to be though, it's not worth twenty dollars AT ALL but the things it comes with are pretty neat. If you're a sims addict like me(and spend all your time hoping and praying maxis won't make another expansion but can't stop buying them) you won't be disapointed. Though if I were thinking of buying it right now, I think I'd wait a couple months for it to hit the bargain bin or at least ask someone else to buy it for me for Christmas.

I hate having to spend the money on stuff packs but this one was worth it for me. There is not a lot of content for teen rooms that I have found. I bought it for the Goth but will be using the other themes also. All in all not unhappy with this pack.

Finally your teenaged sims can decorate their rooms with their style. No more adult furniture! The only thing I would love to see added to the game would be more clothing suited for Teenagers and a way to change their clothing easier and much more often (like normal people). Also, I would love to see some new cool cars for teens. I love the Sims and this expansion pack is filled with new items. We just need more, more, more!

Ah, teenagers. There's nothing quite like them. Just ask Germaine Greer, after all (Germaine Greer : The Beautiful Boy). With "Sims 2", teenagers have been added to the Sims world, and with this expansion pack they finally get to live their little lives in style!

Yes, wheather your teen is a goth, a skater or a prom queen, they'll find something they love in this pack. Actually, they'll find that basically ONLY if they're a goth, a skater or a prom queeen, but that's ok. You'll find themes covering all three lifestyles.

There's also some stuff that can be used in a more general capacity. Mostly clothing and furniture. There's a few new electronic gizmos, which is nice. Nothing special, though, beyond the teen stuff.

Overall I'd say this is a good purchase if you want some more teen-centric stuff for your game. Along with The Sims 2: IKEA Home Stuff you'll find a lot of good stuff to make a great game even better!

I got the Sims 2 and the Teen Style stuff pack for Christmas and I have to say I love it! All the clothes you can get for your teen Sims are so cute! Also, I love being able to design really cool rooms for your Sims with the three new themes. I would definitely recommend this game for Sims lovers because I thought it was fun and a great add-on to my new Sims 2 game!

My 17 year old daughter says this add on to Sims 2 is "pretty fun". I have not added it to my game because it has teen oriented things such as permanent piles of dirty clothes on the floor which would make me crazy. The only thing lacking, according to my daughter, is more cool hairstyles. She says the clothes are awesome.

Both games I ordered are great. Granddaughter wanted them for her birthday. She enjoys all the Sims games and plays them alot. Would reccommend them to anyone who has children.

This is only a stuff pack but it does allow for you to have more options in your play experience.I would definitely recommend it if you want to have an option at a little extra stuff for your teen Sims.

i have all the expansions for the sims 2, and this one is great. there are no knew interactions or activities for yours sims, but there are alot more things! it will give you more cloths in the everyday, PJ, and workout sections. there are knew hairstyles, including ones with hats. there are 3 knew room scences, and they are elite, gothic, and sufer dude. i recomend this game if u are tired of the plane old styles for ur teens. this expansion pack makes ur teens stand out from the other ages.
