The Glamorous Life of The Sims 2.

Everyone needs a little bit of glamour and fashion in their lives, even our little pixelated friends, the Sims. These little pixels are created, and controlled by us. We play God with their short little lives.

EA Games has made it possible for us to create our beloved little Sims. They also gave us all the things to decorate their world. They give us Expansion packs such as Nightlife, Open For Business, Pets, Seasons and University. They also give us Stuff packs to hold us off between those Expansion packs.

Stuff Packs are fairly small compared to Expansion Packs. They consist mainly of new objects and clothing. You most likely won't find any new neighborhoods, sims, or actions in a Stuff pack. If they were to add any of these types of things they wouldn't have anything to add in the upcoming Expansion packs.

I personally don't know why I even purchased the Sims 2: Glamour Life Stuff Pack. It was probably because I was anticipating the new expansion pack that was coming out at the time, which happened to be The Sims 2: Pets. I should have known what to expect, being as how this was not the first Stuff pack I had purchased. I also purchased the The Sims 2: Family Fun Stuff. I wasn't very impressed with that, and I don't know what made me think I would be impressed with this new stuff pack.

I installed the stuff pack into my game, knowing all to well that I probably wouldn't even use what it had to offer. I was right, most of the objects that I received in the pack were ugly. As for the clothes, my Sims don't wear those either. I still stick with my custom content that I find off the internet. The creators of The Sims 2 did create a great game, but apparently they don't have a degree in fashion.

I'll most likely buy the upcoming Expansion Packs and Stuff Packs, but not because I'm anticipating what is in them. It's probably only because I am a fan of the Sims 2, and like a lot of the other fans that I know, we have to have everything there is to offer for our Sims.

What to look for in this new Stuff pack...

I'll have to be completely honest with you, I haven't used any of these new objects or clothing pieces. I found them all to be ugly and out of style for my sims. I'm not going to recommend this product to you, or to anyone for that matter. It's a complete waste of money and space on your computer, so save your $20 and put it towards the next expansion pack that's coming out.
