"The Sims Kitchen and Bath" Stuff

"The Sims 2" stuff packs are not full blown expansions. They come with a selection of objects, clothes, and walls based on a theme. This time it happens to be the kitchen and bathroom. The complaints with "The Sims 2 Kitchen and Bath Interior Design" pack are no different than the previous stuff pack releases.

First problem is the the number of new items. The number of objects includes the recolors. There are not many new items when recolors are not counted. Which brings us to the second problem. The cost. Buy stuff packs on sale. They are often on sale sometimes within days of release.

With those complaints out of the way, let's get to the good stuff. The styles of objects are modern, hip, and come in basic colors. Kitchen stuff includes counters and appliances to give rooms a couple of different looks. The bath stuff is limited to a shower, tub, and couple of toilets along with a few decor items. The decor items of spice racks, stove hood, hanging pots and pans, towel racks, and mirrors are my favorite items.

Download addicts won't find anything here they can't live without. The additional objects are wonderful for gamers who don't have want or have access to user created items. Great for those who's houses are all started to look the same. I knew I tend to use many of the same sets.

The clothes with "The Sims 2 Kitchen and Bath" stuff are surprisingly good. A majority of the clothing is for adult Sims both men and women, with a few items for teens and elders sprinkled in the bunch. It was a pleasant surprise to see new undies for the adults and luxurious bath robes.

You aren't missing anything too exciting by not buying the pack. It's decent but nothing you can't live without - especially with so many wonderful user made downloads out there.
