Sims 2 Glamor Life Stuff
Anyone's opinion of this game is relevant to their expectations.
There is a difference between expansion packs and stuff packs. EPs (expansion packs) come with many new features. SPs only have new items and clothing. This is a STUFF pack.
You'd probably be better off paying twice as much for a bunch of new features than getting a stuff pack. But if you really are into sims and want a good stuff pack, this is the best one. The artwork is beautiful, as well as the new gowns. The marble floors make the homes look very elegant. There is also a very modern new fountain that I like. You will enjoy the pack as long as you are expecting items, not new features.

Better than Family Fun, but not by much. Still too pricey!
I should have learned my lesson from the Family Fun Pack. The Sims2 fan in me just had to have everything though (for some reason I resisted the Holiday pack...).
Pros
-Some nice new items. I liked the new stereo, as well as some of the new decorations. Some of the new clothing looks cool too. I've found more of the new items useful than those from Family Fun Pack.
Cons
-Price! $19.99 for these few new items? The additions in this pack are not worth more than $5.00 (maybe less)!
-Some of the new items weren't worth a dime! Though some of the new clothing may look good, most of it I would never select for one of my Sims.
In Summary:
The term "Glamour Life" has a number of implications behind it. A new type of car would have been nice (or at least more color options on the existing ones). New party items, some sort of nod toward jewelry, and other pricey items would have been nice as well. So much more could have been done with that theme! What this pack gives you though, is a major disappointment. The price doubles the disappointment. If you can live without it, wait until it hits the bargain bins. Hopefully the Pets Expansion will make up for this disappointment.

I wasn't expecting much and I was still disappointed
$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.

A waste of money.
Some of the Sims 2 expansion packs add tons of new features, new jobs, new stuff to do. This is definatly not one of those expansions. For your money you get some new outfits, some new items to buy and thats about it. Not only that but many people (myself included) are having a lot of problems with Sims 2 after installing this expansion. I ended up having to uninstall it just to be able to play Sims 2. If you want to get a bunch of new clothes and items you're better off to go online and just download some of the tons of great player made items.

Like the game but I am experiencing problems!
I'm not sure if anybody else has this experience but when I downloaded that expansion pack and started playing it, it was terrific until I started building my new house. When I chose the wall tool and drug along walls to make my rooms the walls were flashing red over and over. Plus the walls in the create a family room was doing the same thing. If anybody else has any experience in that and knows how to get rid of that please add that to your next review. It would really help me in knowing that my $21.35 didn't go to waste!!!
