NZGamer writes: "In the world of Sim fandom, the stuff pack has always been a bit of a contentious offering. Nothing seems to drive gamers apart faster than the question of whether it is ethical to encourage players to spend more money on a game they have already purchased. On the one hand, righteous outraged types curse EA and their money-making behemoth for sucking players in and stealing their money. On the other side, rabid fans gobble up anything that's dangled in front of them, and still squeal for more."

I was a huge fan of Sims 1 and 2, but still haven't really gotten into 3. I did buy the games when EA had a big sale a few months back, but have honestly been to busy to play it yet :S.
I agree, but if someone didn't try odd things we would all be doing the same thing.
Believe me, you aren't the only one.
My sister is terribly annoyed with the Sims 3. She was a huge fan for Sims 1 and 2. I think she said her main complaint was the "aspirations"... whatever that is.
Yeah, I was able to get the Deluxe version not that long ago (which includes Ambitions) for $25. That's the best price I've seen so far, even during Black Friday. But that is for the disc version, not the digital one.
Good deal on the games. I've already gotten Sims 3 for the PS3 and PC but haven't played too much. I think it's the same reason others give: It doesn't appeal quite as much as the second one did.
