The Sims 4 Luxury Party Stuff
Stuff Pack Features, Hair, and Clothing
The Sims 4 Luxury Party Stuff gives you the items and styles necessary to make parties better and more elegant for your Sims.
The Sims 4 Luxury Party Stuff is the first Stuff Pack for TS4. This Pack's purpose is to expand upon content for existing parties. It won't add a new 'Luxury Party' to the list of events you can throw, but rather decor, hair and clothing styles, and a couple of gameplay oriented items that will make parties better. Here's a rundown of the Stuff Pack's features. The download size of the pack is 113MB.
The Fountain of Mirth is great for serving parties, but can also help single Sims to get good moodlets for daily Sim life, work, and learning Skills
-->
The Fountain of Mirth In my opinion, the single biggest gameplay-impacting item in Luxury Party Stuff is the Fountain of Mirth. This new fountain can be placed on one of two buffet tables. The fountain features options to fill it with food or drink. You can add chocolate, cheese, or caramel in the food category, and a few different drinks. Their availability are based upon your Sim's Mixology and Homestyle Cooking skill levels. If you have level 5 in either, you can 'Improve' food or drink once it's in the fountain, and cause Sims to get a +2 Happy Moodlet for 4h after eating or drinking from it. Sims who have level 4 Mischief can taint the fountain's contents to give Sims a +2 Uncomfortable moodlet. Here's a list of the food and drink you can serve from the fountain:
Chocolate ($50) - no level requirement, but like all foods may give a Fantastic Food Moodlet
Fruit Punch ($25) - no level requirement, but doesn't do anything either.
Sparkling Apple Juice ($50) - Mixology Level 3, Makes Sims Playful (+1)
Party Extender Punch ($100) - Mixology level 8, Makes Sims Energized (+1)
A buffet table, filled with food. Very handy for serving guests
Buffet Tables There are 5 types of food that can be served from the buffet tables, though you may place your own in any of its 6 slots (counting where the Fountain of Mirth goes). The food output is not based on your Sim's level, so come out good quality. This means the best you can get is 'Pretty Tasty' from eating select foods. A Sim with level 10 Gourmet Cooking can garnish dishes to bring them up to Excellent. The main draw of these, however, is to easily feed a large group of Sims and it accomplishes that nicely. You can fill the table with all 5 types of food for $250, or individually for:
Almond Macaroons ($45)
Ceviche and Chips ($53)
Vegetable Tempura ($60)
Sausage and Peppers ($74)
Roast Chicken ($98)
Other Gameplay There isn't much more to say about it gameplay-wise, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. If every Stuff Pack comes with a least a couple of items that affect actual gameplay in new ways, I'll be a happy Simmer. There is a new bar, and Sims should have a larger variety of formal-wear when you throw a party. Here's the new 'Stuff' stuff.
New Objects
Explore My Mods! Color Picker for Builders, Seasons Tuner, Dine Out Reloaded and a Gameplay Overhaul! Like other modders, I've been working to make The Sims 4 a better game. Check out my many mods here!
Click to Enlarge. As far as new objects, there is a new bar stool, curtains, wall light, end table, ottoman, and the lamp. Note the cube, which is a very cool new type of surface for placing decorative objects.
Clothes and Hair
Note I may have missed an object or two, hard to say! There is plenty going on here for the price tag, and people will be getting it for a steal if there are future sales. It's already low at $10. Everything here has a variety of color selections, so you can definitely make outfits match nicely.
Male Clothing and Hair in Luxury Party Stuff
Click to Enlarge. The three new male hairstyles. Sorry, he blinked! That doesn't change his hair ;)

Male tops and shoes
Female Clothing and Hair in Luxury Party Stuff
Click to Enlarge. Female hairstyles. The short cuts are shown from the side, to give you an idea how they really look. The longer cuts are very elegant, as well. Great hair.
Click to Enlarge. The 5 female outfits all look good. Lyla Waller is rocking them.
Click to Enlarge. The ladies definitely get a lot more than male Sims in this stuff pack. Note the two accessories. New shoes, tops, and bottoms are featured here. As said before, everything has at least 8 different color schemes, so you can make things match. This is just to show the basic 'look' of the clothing.
New Makeup

New Styled Rooms
Outdoor
The outdoor styled room converts an open space into a nice party area.
Indoor
The indoor styled room should be made larger by your hand, so that more guests can comfortably fit. It gives an excellent start on a new party room and features several of the new objects.

I guess that depends on your definition of worth. Carl has already mentioned that in direct comparison to The Sims 3 that everything is about half price. SimsVip also have a very detailed guide to all the build/buy items, recipes and CAS items. For $10 I think it is value for money.

A Deeper Game
The past month, I've spent every day tinkering The Sims 4, making quality of life improvements, gameplay changes, and new difficulty settings for the game. If you'd like to learn more about my project, visit the post on Patreon where you can download it now.
I have much more to come, since you can actually write a few guides about this pack!
Calling all Blender Users
Blender has been incredibly useful in video production, so I made my own Physics and Simulation Improvement Addon that lumps a ton of unique tools into one compact interface.
Sims 4 Snowy Escape
The Sims 4 Snowy Escape launches November 13, 2020 and my coverage has started. Until I get my review ready, you can learn about the following:
There is a new platform tool in The Sims 4. There's also a new Sentiments system, but it'll take some time to create a guide to that. Players can also use rental lots in any world now by changing lot types of builds in manage worlds.
Best Mods in Sims 4
I've created a massive List of The Best Mods in The Sims 4 that should be very helpful to new players and those who have not yet explored modding and how much it can do for your gameplay.
Readers who use adblock or those who'd like to thank me for my efforts can now pledge $1/$5 monthly via Patreon. This helps a lot with server costs and provides some stability for my business.
I now have a guide page to Tiny Living Stuff where you can learn about Murphy Beds, the new death, as well as the lot bonuses you'll receive if you manage to keep the size of your lot down with this new pack's Tiny Home Lot Type.
Let's Play Playlist
New I now have a guide to Making Super Sims in The Sims 4. Look for a text version within the next 72h. It won't have THAT much more info but it will help out as a checklist.
This was inspired by a series, "Let's Play a Super Sim" in which I start at toddler and gradually take on the major bonuses. Here's a link to each part for people who are interested. You can also see the Let's Play as a Playlist on Youtube.
The Sims 4 Discover University has been announced for November 15 for PC/Mac and December 17 for Xbox and Playstation 4 consoles. Click to learn more about the pack, see my summary of the livestream or read our FAQs below.

Need more ethic hair dos in every pack that consist of new hairstyles.
What table can I put the Fountain of Mirth on? That’s round and small. Like shown in your pictures.
Pretty sure that's the table that came with the pack so search using pack filters, or it will be a base game table as that is all we had at the time.
