Maxis called it a stuff pack, not an expansion...so there wasn't anything added to gameplay, just clothing and decor items

FF is not an EP. It's also definitely not worth $20; I paid $20 for OFB. ($25 at Target minus the $5 Target gift card that was included with it = $20.)
There are probably people who would tell you that it isn't even worth A penny.

Like I said, I bought it at my local Target store. They're not selling it for $25 with a $5 gift card NOW, since I bought it during the week it was released; I figured $20 was as good a deal as I was going to get anytime soon. Can't find it that low anywhere right at the moment, but I did find a site selling FF for $13.95 and OFB for $23.95 on Froogle. |

It is worth every penny I spent on it. That must mean it's an improvement over the Holiday pack, which I doubt, which I got for the same price, and it DEFINITELY WASN'T WORTH IT. |

Hell, sammonroe, you did not even spend one penny on it, that is why you think it is totally worth it. |

FFS is overpriced. At $9,99 it would be considerable perhaps, but not at $19,99.
There are some nice things in there such as new trees and the carousel (strangely hidden, see MTS2 for Numenor's "lost and found"), but I would not recommend it at full price to anyone.
Now if it were $9,99 it might be nice for people without NL and OFB, as FFS adds the neighbourhood view and other "new" features.

"One Week" sounds like its sung in Simlish already. And come to think of it I think that song is already in my music station folder. |

The Holiday Pack was better in many ways: it didn't pretend to be an expansion (no code conflicts), added new NPCs, new party types, new interactions...
What does FFS offer? A codebase which looks like it was branched off OFB pre-patch, NO new interactions or features unique to it (all FFS adds is already in OFB), so basically it's just clothing and objects, and the coolest features (new trees!) are actually not fully implemented (Numenor's "lost and found"s)

Hell, sammonroe, you did not even spend one penny on it, that is why you think it is totally worth it. The songs are on the Pop Station |

Wal-Mart is selling it for $20. I looked at it. Then stuck it back on the shelf and moved on.

When I installed the thing, I removed it after 30 minutes. I rarely ever use children, so most of the stuff in the expansion doesn't appeal to me. Also, I hate the fact that FFS labels the bootscreen.
The thing installs exactly like an expansion, has folders like an expansion, and adds features like an expansion(Transparent to anyone with NL and UNI). It must be an expansion.

Without any of the stuff that makes an expansion worth having. I refuse to put FFS in my game. Even if I could get it for free (and everyone knows we can), I still wouldn't put it in my game. The screenshots of the actual stuff in the pack are underwhelming, to say the least.

When they had a survey asking about the booster pack idea, I thought it sounded good. That's because I thought when they said new items, they meant new items. They just meant different looking ones. Now, if this pack had a slide and some toys for the pool, that would bump up its value considerably. If the silly costumes came with a new "costume party" interaction, it might be worth something. I like the look of some of the decorations, but it would have to be awfully cheap for me to buy it if that's all I like.

I miss the costume trunk. Why do we have a sports party instead of a costume party? They don't even do anything for the sports party, it's exactly the same!

The sports party is different *rolls eyes* They grab your chips and plonk their bums on your sofas and start cheering.

Raiders of the Lost Fridge happens at ANY party. Of course, it's extremely bad for both you and them, which is why it should be prevented through careful house design. |

FFS is $15.98 at Amazon right now. I'd be somewhat tempted because I like the group BNL and a couple of the items but I'm considering waiting to see if the stuff pack drops to $10.

Costume trunk and the mechanical bull and dance cages....
The best Sims items EVER. And why have we not seen these in a Sims 2 EP?
Not to mention the stripper cake was funny as hell. Why get angry if you were the one who bought the cake for your husband? Silly sims. Tricks are for kids.
