New High-end-loft-stuff and version 3.0.38

[purenergy]

No Hot Tub! When will they give us one! The original Sims came with a hot tub!

[Pam]

Hopefully they will put the hot tub in another stuff pack down the line, or make it available in the Store.  I'm sure they're aware of the demand.

oops I got confused between the hot tub and the heart shaped bed

Thanks for the pic, Metrolopolis Man.  Some of that stuff does look pretty snazzy.  But I read Kat's post that it was $50 and thought nu-uh! no way am I about to pay that much for ... stuff.  Even high end loft stuff.  But it looks like it can be downloaded for $20 American at the EA store at

http://eastore.ea.com/DRHM/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayProductDetailsPage&SiteID=ea&Locale=en_US&ThemeID=718200&Env=BASE&productID=156751300&sourceid=EASTORE_PaidSearch_DR_high-end_loft_Phrase_Match_GroupID_Loft_Stuff_Google_AD1

   (sorry for the long link, that's just what came up in google.)

Anyways, I'm sorta torn.  Still don't like the idea of ponying up hard cash for "stuff" that doesn't affect gameplay, just game looks.  But $20 isn't a huge bank breaker.  I'm really torn on this one.

   And I was wondering, is having this stuff a requirement for any of the challenges?  I know that having the lastest patches installed is.

Any pictures of the new clothing/hairstyles?

I may have to get it just for the triangular bathtub.  What a great idea.

I like the longer female hair, the short one is helmet like.   I guess like someone said it's kinda like a 20's flapper style.






They have 3 new styles for the guys (much needed) and I like them all:

Here are some new clothes for women.  The shoes in the first one also came with the stuff pack.

[MegTrog]

Like the purple theme you have going, Pam!

I probably shouldn't get the pack just yet, since we've got more important things to spend money (and time!) on right now, but I expect I'll pick it up sooner rather than later.

[Pam]

Like the purple theme you have going, Pam!

I always dress my Sims in their favorite colors.  This one is Rhea, daughter of Hercules and Hebe from my nectar making challenge.  Her favorite color is lilac. 

[Pam]

Here's the new heart bed.



Edit:  You can also see the new aquarium at the very top.  It will hold 6 fish.

[Pam]

And...  here we have Hercules himself from the nectar making tournament modeling some of the new men's clothes.

I threw caution to the wind and got it.  But I wouldn't have if it were a penny pricier!  Now to see how my new stuff looks...

With a birthday coming up for me in less than a month, I might be asking for this as a gift!

[TheLostGirls]

All my CC is from the exchange but I don't want to install the patch.

I am one of the lucky ones with no problems except for slow save times.

Cool, glad they brought out a triangular one. Thanks for the photo. Do you think it is worth getting? It's $50 over here!

$50 is way too much money for this stuff pack. That's what I paid for the entire base game. Of course, it's cheaper than moving to the United States, right? 

It is $20 at my local Best Buy but I am saving my money for WA.
