I think this looks fun stuff.  Amazon says it's coming out February 1st.

I might actually buy this Stuff Pack, look at all the great new stuff!
The big winners for me are the ladies top on page 2, the wine trolley also on page 2, and the outdoor lattice fireplace on page 4.

I can't think of a single item I don't want in those pictures.

I hope they have more professional bars.

I'm a bit confused with the order in which expansions and stuff packs arive. It means now that after Late Night this is the second stuff pack? Or did I mistake something? Not that I'm complaining, but I fought to see a patern here.

They alternate between stuff packs and expansion packs.  It was Fast Lane, then Late Night, next Outdoor Living Stuff, and then should be the next expansion pack.

I found these photos on SimPrograms-

The second one is a little blurry, as according to SimPrograms, it's from the Sims 3 VIP newsletter.
I can see some new CAS stuff (Hair, clothes, etc), which looks good, unless anybody can verify some of it is from the Store.
I'm really looking forward to this SP!

I am not sure when it is supposed to be released, but my local gaming store (Gamestop) just sold me a copy!  Has anyone else seen it out yet?  It wasn't in the Target ad for this week.  They double checked that they could sell it and the computer said they could.

First impression of it, is that it is OK.  I really love the new hot tubs.  They are awesome!  There is a new female hairstyle and male hairstyle.  I like them both.  My daughter said she is able to make Justin Bieber now.  A small selection of new outfits which I really do like.  The other stuff did not impress me to much though.

I pre-ordered a copy from EB Games because you get a $10 gift voucher for pre-ordering anything (even stuff packs that only cost $30) and they just rang to say I can go collect it. I'm a little busy at the moment, but hubby being a sweetie, said he would go collect it (and pay  ) so when I'm finished what I have to do here, I'll be able to play.

Oh, that's interesting, I have heard about people getting the SP, so maybe it's already been released?
I'm dissapointed that their is only 2 extra hair styles. I thought there would have been more than that From the pictures, I thought the new outfits looked good, so I'm glad you think so too.
It's a shame that most of the objects don't look that great, what exactly don't you like about them?

[Twinmum]

I haven't looked at the clothes or hair styles yet, but I love the outdoor kitchen items. A few nice decorative pieces too.
I was a little disappointed that there was only one new fence. I would have liked something to resemble perhaps a greenhouse/conservatory wall. I do have some CC for that purpose, but something from EA would be good for shared houses.
Overall I like it.

Mhmm, I'm looking foward to getting my hands on the outdoor kitchen, that will look great.
Let us know what you think of the CAS stuff, won't you, Norma?

[Twinmum]

Well I just had a look at the new CAS stuff, but not really impressed. I must point out though, that clothes don't play that big a part of my sims games.
There is a nice little top for females that I like, but then there is this one piece strapless short suit with slightly puffy pant legs 
Surprised there were no new swimming costumes given the new hot tubs available and to me anyway, that outdoor living is somewhat synonymous with pool parties and bbq's.

Thanks Norma
I wold have liked a swimsuit or two, as well. Is there anything for teens, kids or toddlers? There was nothing for kids or toddlers in LN, so hopfully there is something here.

The official release date is today.

This was the first time I did not pre-order and, after driving to 5 different stores that said they had this SP, I finally found it at the last store - figures .
Anyway, I am not too crazy on the contents in this SP especially since it cost $19.96 US dollars.  I think they should have sold it for $10 and then I might have been happier  .
The outdoor refrigerator and stove are different and there is a glass table and chairs that I like.  I am disappointed also that there was no new swimwear (just a cover-up that shows a bikini top), but at least my Sims will have something new to wear and something new for their outdoor entertaining, as soon as it warms up .
