From what I see, no new interactions either. Only 60 new items.
I bet they think the price is reasonable cos they charge $15 for 40 items so they are actually giving us a discount !!!  by charging us $20 for 60 new items

Eek - not at all tempted (especially not when that's translated to NZ$!)

[Renatus]

Hmph, as per usual. I'll do what I did with the holiday pack and wait and wait until Stockmann has knocked it down to 5 euros in a desperate attempt to get rid of it to make room for a new expansion and grab it then.

I saw the xmas pack knocked down the other day and wasn't even tempted.

According to that page, this item is fictitious and does not exist. End of story.

If only there were some way to get that for free a few hours after it is released. If only....

I got an advertisement for it in my OFB case.  It's not fictitious, just simply worthless.

[J. M. Pescado]

Looks pretty fictitious to me. I point out its COMPLETE LACK OF VERIFIABLE EXISTENCE. It isn't even available on the EA store! All they have is a vaporware advertisement. IT DOES NOT EXIST.

Okay, whatever you say.

Jesus Christ that's a lot of money for that. I predict a month from now I will say 'Oh, how did that end up on my hard drive'.

Although, I suppose I should see if that $15 off coupon they gave me is still good. I could actually go for it for $5 I suppose.

    * New Décor!
      Indulge your Sims' imaginations with fantasy-themed furniture, a complete underwater kids' bedroom set, or nautical-themed living room furniture.
    * New Styles!
      Hang loose in Hawaiian style clothing or bring out the kids' adventurous side with exciting costumes.
    * New Stuff!
      60 all-new items for your Sims to join in on all the family fun!

Why in the world would anyone pay twenty bucks for such stuff when its equivalent (or better) is already available free at the various Sims sites?

Anyway, I've been too busy making defective robots to give much thought to my Sims' relationships and family matters.

  wat i was thinkin' too about me

[Chanco]

When I purchase ofb at Targets I got a gift card for buying ofb. I guess that's a hint from Maxis to buy the family pack or they are hoping I'll buy it.I can use the card on any purchase in store if I want though. It's only $10 giftcard, I don't know if I'll get the family pack there are other things in the store the have a better use, like toilet paper.

[wishy-washy]

There's new Family Fun info at www.snootysims.com

I wasn't planning to buy it before, but now that I've seen all the cute little outfits and bedroom furniture, I must admit I'm a little tempted. I am definately not going to pay $20 American for it, though.

I think $20 worth of toilet paper or even $10 worth is a much better value.

[BlueSoup]

I am sure that I will end up with it somehow, but I'm also equally sure I will not pay for it. 

[Jelenedra]

Yeah... uhm... I never play with the kids anyways. My sims have them, but.... as long as they're making good grades and have all the skill scholarships. I don't care what they do. =p

[Pegasys]

It looks like there are no new interactions. If there were new interactions, I'd probably get it, but otherwise I'm not so sure.

I have to admit the only reason I would get it is I tend to be as someone else mentioned a "completist" and want the "complete collection." Which makes me rather sheep-like, so my avatar remains.

I will be in the same boat Motoki I also have a $15 dollar coupon I wonder if it will be good with the add on pack

[Motoki]

It seems like it would be. I think it just says it has to be $15 or more. They got out of it with Holiday pack by charging $14.95 

The coupon says it's good until the 31rst so I am going to hold off a bit and see if they offer free shipping since they seem to eventually on most new games.

[Jelenedra]

I didn't get a coupon and I got my copy from the EA Store. 

[MissDoh]

New interactions are reserved to expansion pack don't ever expect any in those "junk" packs.  These will always be bunch of clothes, objects and decorations for those that like cc stuff and never find there is enough paintings or clothes for their Sims.  It is definitely not my case.  Anyhow, since I could easily find great stuff on fansite why would I pay for that "junk" pack?

I can understand though that some cannot imagine living without it in their game.  20,00$ is way too much, it should have been included in the last expansion pack instead.

I am completely against that new concept and I hope these packs will be a complete sales disaster so they will add those in expansion packs in the future like they always did in the past.

I dont know where you get that from. The ad for this came with OFB, plus this IS on the EA site. I wish it wasnt real, but sadly it looks like it is.
