Overall, it's got some nice new stuff, but there's also some disappointments, and the items are all pretty limited in use.

The shelf is cool, but I think there's only one version of it? If so, that limits its usefulness (but maybe other shelves can connect to it and will look right in a row). Having more stuff to decorate a room is nice, but some of it feels a bit out of place, like the really nice trunk for toys, which doesn't really mesh well with the other stuff (but if it can hold more than just toys, I'll gladly keep it around for the teens at least). I thought it was more toys for the kids to play with, but all they can do is "View" the items. I can't imagine that ever actually happening.Īnd some of the items that look like toys are just decorative. I supposed I shouldn't complain because it benefits me, but it feels weird when I trade a spare Common and get a really nice uncommon or even a valuable Rare in return (and that's happened both times I've traded). On the subject of Voidcritters, the trading is kind of weird. Heck, my non-Geek adult Sims keep watching the Voidcritters cartoons (turning the TV on and watching them, not watching them just because a kid is watching). While I'm not personally big on those things, I could imagine some of my Geek Sims being big into it and collecting and battling with other Geeks. so why are only children able to do it? I know plenty of adults, not just teens, who still collect and play monster battle games, whether card or video games (especially video games, which is what Voidcritters basically are). It's basically Pokemon in the Sims world. So in Normal gameplay, you're not going to have much time for your kids to, say, collect and battle the Voidcritters.Īnd the Voidcritter implementation is kind of disappointing. And Sims are only in the Child stage for about two weeks, unless you're using Long lifespan (or a mod).

The price isn't bad, but the problem is that it's pretty much all limited to children. It's some nice stuff to decorate a room, and more things to play around with.
