Video Game Reviews of The Sims 2: Family Fun Stuff
Customer Review: The Sims
Summary: 4 Stars
This adds a little more to the Sims 2 game. Some extra clothes and furniture. I think it should contain a little more than it does, but my daughter (who is a Sims addict), loves it. If you love playing this game, I highly recommend buying all of the little extras.Customer Review: Nice for the kids
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this shortly after it was released at a Target store--paid about $15 for it. I really like the castle collections, as I, too, was bored with the clouds and other dull collections. While you can produce a really neat collection for the castle, it's really hard to make a more adult themed room. I am in agreeance that it would have been better to have it as a downloadable expansion from their site. I am a die-hard Sims fan as well and I have even pre-ordered the Pets from EA. So far, this is the only expansion that I haven't been head-over-heals for. I am anxiously awaiting the release of the pets.Customer Review: Sorry, Sims fans, it's a complete waste!!

Quite simply, I have bought EVERY SINGLE Sims game (including game console versions and handheld versions) and I have never been disappointed, until now. I'm such a Sims fan that I can honestly say that I've never been disappointed before this purchase. I can tell you that this "add-on" is nothing more than re-painted versions of already existing furniture that you have. The last time I checked, you can go on several websites and download many, many things just like this, for free (not to mention, do it yourself). Do NOT waste your money. Me? I'm waiting for the pets, hopefully that won't be such a let-down.Customer Review: Save your money - This Stuff Pack is SHAMEFUL!
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this right after I bought Open for Business thinking that it would be a great compliment to my game. Boy was I ever wrong! There is a good reason why Maxis didn't give more previews of what would be in this stuff pack - it is a couple of low-poly, hideous objects, outfits, and recolors. I have spent more time on research papers than Maxis/EA did on this stuff pack. Would it kill them to make some quality hairstyles or even some new linens for the beds? If you want high quality downloads for your game, save your $20 and use it as a payment for a paysite or even go to a free site. The custom content offered on fan sites puts Maxis/EA to shame. Never again will I buy one of these stuff packs - it is basically stuff that is left out of expansion packs so that Maxis/EA can squeeze more money out of Sims 2 fans.Customer Review: Some nice new stuff, but WAY overpriced!
Summary: 2 Stars
This is one purchase I wish I hadn't made, or at least I wish I'd waited for the price to plummet. I had read some of the reviews before buying this one, but decided to get it anyway since some of the download sites have stuff that are based on the meshes from this "Fun Stuff" pack. That is not looking like such good reasoning now.
Pros:
*Some of the new stuff is actually quite cool, especially some of the decorations and wall papers. Any quality new variety is welcome (hope that made sense).
Cons:
*No bug fixes that I can see.
*$19 is way too much for the amount of new stuff provided. This should have been no more than $5 or included in the upcoming Pets expansion along with upcoming Glamour Life Fun Pack.
In summary, A few nice new objects for an obscene price. Someone at EA should be thrown in jail for this robbery!
