Celebration! Officially Announced

[Jessica]

Inside the Seasons box there was an advertisement for the next stuff pack (according to the sims2 site, I havent gotten Seasons yet so I havent seen it in-person)



Yay, different versions of grills they already gave us, another wedding dress (which there have been thousands made by the community at this point lol), and an umbrella that we already have thanks to the community.

I get that free and I STILL don't want it.

I rarely ever use the grill in game and some of the wedding dresses that are available in the Sims community top anything that Maxis ever does.  Too bad they won't let you pick and choose the things you want to download from their stuff packs. 

I just bought Season's from Target and still debating on if I want to load it or not.  I just will just have to check out more forums to see what the community says.

I loaded it yesterday and I'll be darned if it speeded my load time up. Cut off like 10 mins!!! That's will all my CC and hacks installed. I have 13,000+ downloads at 5 Gigs.

[SealJuice]

I've noticed a quicker load time, too.

Ok so here is more info about the stuff pack for those that might be interested. I don't know why anyone would be though, it's just a few objects to decorate your parties...all of which we already have, but whatever

Ok no offense to any EA employees, but OMG this is the dumbest thing ever. I know the whole stuff pack idea is to make money off of us, thinking we're all stupid enough to buy whatever crap they put out, but they could at least try to be a tiny bit creative when it comes to stuff packs...this one shows no thought at all whatsoever except for $$$$$
God i hope no one buys this retarded stuff pack.

[Henrik]

I know I already have most of the stuff included in this new pack but since I'm a stuffpackoholic I will need to get this one too 

Damn you EA!! 

[OolongAiki]

Yeah...yeah...me too.  I bought it.

[Nokomys]

I can say I won't buy it... but I will because I can't stop myself when it comes to the Sims.

You know, I never actually dress my Sims up in their formal wear for anything. I can't remember the last time I saw my Sims dressed up... why did I buy Glamor Life? *sigh* 

[OolongAiki]

I know what you mean...so I make up reasons for them to wear their formal wear.  Even if they are just going to the grocery store, they wear their formal garb! LOL
