The limited number of new items makes it difficult to recommend "The Sims 2 Family Fun Stuff" to anyone. If you must buy this stuff pack, don't pay full retail price.

Guide Review - "The Sims 2 Family Fun Stuff" Review (PC)

"The Sims 2 Family Fun Stuff" is installed like other expansion packs. You'll have to enter your serial number before installing the game, which doesn't take long. After installation, the game can be started with the new shortcut.

The new objects, clothing, and wallpaper are based on three new themes - Nautical, Underwater, and Fantasy. The nautical decor includes a globe, a small boat, oars, and flotation devices to decorate the adult rooms. The fantasy and underwater themes are for the children's bedroom sets. The sets come with a stand, toy box, dresser, bed, and a few decorative objects. All adorable, of course, and come in multiple colors good for boys or girls.

All the new "stuff" that comes with "The Sims 2 Family Stuff" is good quality and comes with a good number of color options. I like that the kids finally got some attention this time around. The problem is for the price of "The Sims 2 Family Fun Stuff," it should come with 3 times as many new items. Wait until the price comes down from the suggested price of $19.99 before purchasing.
