This is also one of the only Stuff Packs which did not attract heavy criticism against Electronic Arts, the other is H&M Fashion Stuff. Also, the addition of the new cakes will help those who already have the Open for Business Expansion pack, which allows the player to fully stock a bakery with more baked good. There also include more clothes to choose from as well as more wallpaper and tiles as always. Based on the introduction of Nightlife, the concepts of parties, well, house parties has been revived. The concept of social outings prove much more interesting at first, but Celebration Stuff can really help bring back the party vibe back to the parties, which probably gives out more Aspiration Points as well as influence points. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [A] Contact Information APPEARS IN g,a,m,e,f,a,q,s.c,o,m always.
