Given how many people in the community subscribe to pay sites, make 'donations' for items  and otherwise pay for user created custom content (that does not contain interactions; it's just stuff) I predict these packs will be a smashing success unfortunately. But in that case people can pick and choose what they want instead of a whole CD of ugly ass shit from Maxis. I'd rather waste my money doing something satisfying like punking people on ebay or um, giving it to orphans and widows. |

I agree. As much as I am not a fan of pay sites even I have to admit they are a better value than this. For a lot cheaper than the price of this pack you can get a one month subscription somewhere and have access to a lot more items.

The only real value would be for new animations and what not for mixing with hacked objects. But OFB had like... what.... 10 new interactions/animations?

Geez, Pescado, just because you're in denial isn't going to make it go away!  Maxis has come up with a new way to make money and I'll bet they're going to milk it for all it's worth. And if they're handing out $15.00 coupons, it's no wonder they jacked the price to $20.00. At any rate, I can think of quite a few sites out there I frequent I'd rather pass $20 to for content--and Maxis isn't one of them. I already pay them more than enough for buggy expansion packs. I really like that Maxis seemed to take a clue from the community and make some towel racks and bath and welcome mats. It's about time they start putting those little odds and ends in the game. |

We just need toilet paper and MEDICINE cabinets. I miss my sims brushing their teeth. It was adorable in the Sims.
I especially liked it when they were all, "Mokey hokey" afterwards. My friend liked it when they blew raspberries at their reflection.

I didn't like that OFB only had one disk. I don't think we'll ever get more than 1 disk anymore since they'll include most of their objects in their donation packs. I might just stop buying TS2 if they keep doing crap like this.
Yeah, I'll just remove those movies the next time I play. That's the part of it that bugs me the most about my new card.

Just be sure to delete the files from the sims 2/sims nightlife/AND the sims OFB folder. They each have copies of the intro movie.

Definitely toilet paper (unless considering they never pull their pants down to set, their clothes do the job)! I downloaded a user-made and once I placed it on the wall never could find where to pick it up again. Oh, that reminds me! I have some objects with off pick-up points that need to go to the Recycle Bin before it's emptied! |

For toilet paper, I just use the Bathroom Uses You TP and the lovely recolours by Miss Rainbow. Stay showing with the walls down too, so even for those who don't like Macrotastics, you could still download the object and recolours and have them there for decoration (unless you really want to see them wipe their asses and I can't help you with that, eww ). |

I got an advertisement for it in my OFB case. It's not fictitious, just simply worthless. So where is it? Geez, Pescado, just because you're in denial isn't going to make it go away! Once again, if it exists, where is it? |

Once again, if it exists, where is it? Is this a new way of saying "I'll believe it when I see it"?  Not quite sure I'd pay $20 for a bunch of outfits and objects. Maybe when it goes down in price...or is free to download off their darn site. |

Most of the new objects are ripped from FA at TSR...remember CycloneSue's roofs (they appear in OFB), Windkeeper and Echo's rugs...etc. I just don't want to recite the list. Next they'll be copying kitchen paper towels from them and hairs with curls (which they already have in OFB, come to think of it) ... If you want toilet paper, you can get them from Reflex Sims. I got a nice roll from there And yeah no paying of $20 for me either. I am going to get it from a friend. After all, there is probably no serial number I rather donate my $20 to Numenor or give it to JMP etc and that would be 100% more worth my money's value than wiping Maxis' ass with it. |

If you want toilet paper, you can get them from Reflex Sims. I got a nice roll from there Screw Reflex Sims. If you want Toilet Paper, get BATHROOM USES YOU. Because in Soviet Russia, you do not wipe ass, ASS WIPES YOU! |

Ok ok, great one. I will get Bathroom uses you hack at your order! *salutes* I have been resisting it since I already have good toilet paper in the loos... Oh yes, been lurking over at TSR forums and its interesting how the sheep over there have such different reactions to the family fun pack http://forums.thesimsresource.com/showthread.php?p=3147556#post3147556So yeah, don't count on it being a flop. The only thing you can pray for is that it won't sell more than the EPs! |

They only have a positive view about it because that's probably all their allowed to express. If they said anything remotely negative SWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW would probably immediately delete their reply and/or lock the thread and issue them a warning.
It's happy care bear lala land over there and if you do anything to rain on their little parade they will censor the hell out of you. You have to be a goody goody there or else.

Yeah, I don't like the forums there much now (used to when I am new but not now when I am seasoned ). It's too surreal..everyone is so nice... it get tiring after a while. But the stories and the challenges forums are my favs. The stories there are one of a kind and very talented people (not all are talented) write there. ETA: Their definition of PG 13 is too rigid. They said "rape" is a adult theme. Blast! I mean, every 12 years old kid and onwards should know what rape and molest is so that they will know what it is and how to protect themselves against it and they are rallying both are adult themes! Drugs, yes but rape references, no. |

Their problem is they just make these blanket rules and refuse to evalute things on a case by case basis. What if some women wanted to start a thread about a rape survivors group in off topic. Odd for a sims board I know, but we end up talking about all sorts of OT stuff. I was on another board once where several women admited to being raped and has a serious thread about it. It seemed like it helped them to talk about it.
Something like that is a far cry from someone talking about rape porn, but the mods there would just see the word and instantly lock the thread no questions asked.
Anyway, I've gone WAAAAY off topic.
Ahem yes, the $20 pack sucks, Maxis must die! *brings out the pitchforks* lol

No family fun pack for me.
At first I thought some of the objects looked cute. But not for $20 and not for the fact that if you look hard enough, most of the stuff Maxis puts out has already been created and shared usually for free which I believe has already been noted.
Maxis, no money for you!
