I'm not personally big on stuff packs, but feel a need to get them now as they seem to have shifted premium content from the Sims 3 store into these. Objects that add to gameplay are now a part of stuff packs, and seem to make them a little better value. Definitely better than buying from the store, though you could get things piecemeal. Not all of them are as great as this one, but it's still good to know we won't only get objects that change things up a bit from the more pricey addons.
