Title: Irritating Maxis Bonus Items
Post by: numaari on 2006 October 17, 13:07:53
Y'know, it really annoys me that the "bonus" item for buying GLS at "Blah-Mart" (I forget which store)  is actually an item that should have been part of a set!  (The TV to match the stereo and the furniture...)  It's not like I'd have a chance to buy it at the store, since the only thing we have in town is a Wal-Mart.  And when I went to snatch the pop art pic at their site, the link wasn't working.  So I felt doubly screwed.

That doesn't bother me any more, but it still irks that I couldn't get my hands on that tv to match the set.

And yes, I am anal.  Why do you ask?  :P

That reminds me, I need to get my bonus item.

But yes, I agree. I don't see why the "bonus items" can't be original items and not part of a set.

I think those glamour bonus items t'd everyone off. Even sites that don't normally fileshare, shared them. I'm at work right now and can't but if someone else hasn't found a really nice house for you before then, I'll send you a link when I get home. PM me if you need it or something.

That was particularly silly of ea, imo.

Thanks guys.  Guess I wasn't the only one pissed off about it.  At least the bonus items for pets aren't "matching set" items.  It didn't annoy me that there were different ones, just that they were matching items.

What were we supposed to do?  Buy 3 of the Glamour Life packs to get all the items.  Yeah... riiiiight.

Wait. *thinks back to Sims Special Edition, Deluxe Edition, SuperDuper Edition, blah, blah, blah...*  Yeah, I guess that they were thinking that.  After all, I did buy four or five different releases of the sims 1 just to get the super-special wallpaper or whatever.  Silly me.
