The Sims 2 Glamour Life Stuff Review (continued)

No new Kitchen Stuff - kidding right?
No, it's not a joke. This is the first expansion pack I've bought for Sims 2, and that was my first thought as I was trying to find all the new stuff it adds. It does add some nice things, mostly couches, chairs, art, tables, beds and clothes. and some new colors of shag carpeting which are awesome. I also like the new dresses, and the dressers. The original Sims 2 just offers those space guzzling amoires. Another addition you'll see is you can now influence people to do things
It made my game immediately run slower then before, but I'm sure it's nothing that cleaning my hard drive won't cure.
As other reivewers have suggested it's a nice pack, but overpriced right now.

To expensive...... not worth it......... don't buy it
When I first looked at this game I thought it would be a cool glamour stuff pack for my sims. It would have all the cool clothes and stuff that i loved from the sims superstar expansion pack. (I didn't expect the whole Studio town just the clothes, well more and better ones, and the really cool item like the Aquarium. EA and Maxis should make something like that for the Sims 2

It;s nice, but...
Downloading objects from fan sites can be hit or miss -- I have had many collections I've downloaded work incorrectly or not work at all in the next expansion pack, and items I really liked were suddenly unavailable. So, I was looking forward to a "Stuff" pack from Maxis.
Bah. Yes, there are several very nice items, but really, this is an underwhelming collection on the whole. Items are very limited and the collections are small. The pictures you see on the cover are a good portion of what is contained. Like so many here remarked, the money spent is not equal to the value received. Another reviewer pointed out what the title "Glamour Life" implies -- jewelry, house items, luxurious textures for floors and walls, and clothing for all ages, and most of all, excess and abundance. There's no abundance here. I've found items I like, but I am not impressed with the collection.
Maxis knows that its target audience is always hungry for new items, and I think it is taking advantage of the fact, fooling us into thinking we are getting much more than we actually recieve for our money. I feel a little cheated. If you must have this, wait until the price drops, or -- better yet -- find a good, reputable fan site (there are some very good ones out there that have safe downloads) and download for a small fee or for free.

Where's the glamour?
This pack offered very little of anything. The decor (very little of it) is uninspired. I was hoping to get some good artwork at least. I know a lot of people don't like to download from fan sites but don't waste your money on this junk. Believe me fansites have much better and more creative stuff for your sims and most of it is free, and none of it cost as much as this glamour life stuff pack did. This is the first and last stuff pack that I will ever buy.

RIp Off!
If I could give it negative 3 stars I would. This is just EA being Greedy. They could have offered it for free on the website like they did with the stuff before or they could have included it with the next expansion pack. You're better off going to one the fan site that offers better stuff to download for free.
