 Knowing is half the battle... November 22, 2007

With reviews of stuff packs you often see multiple complaints regarding the amount of content versus the price. This is easily arguable and when comparing the amount of content in an expansion pack versus a stuff pack and then the price comparison you are indeed better off buying the expansions. BUT, sometimes you are in the market for something in particular. Yes, there are many custom content creators out there who can rival EA for quality and value, but not everyone is comfortable downloading custom content and others prefer knowing the content they get is going to be completely game compatible. That is when stuff packs are the most useful.
All that said... Teen Style Stuff is my first stuff pack purchase. I've been interested in other stuff packs but the price has made them not essential to my gaming experience. The gothic furniture was my main interest but the socialite and sporty styles were also a draw. With Teen Style Stuff the pack does stress the teenaged sims.
There are new full body outfits for teen males and females, new pajamas and work-out wear for girls and work-out wear for boys. A handful of new hairstyles, which include styles with visors and trucker hats. These visor and hat styles do match with the outfits for the teens. In addition to these there are items for practical use such as beds, end tables, chairs, lamps, a tv, a radio and a computer. You'll also get a lot of decorative items including a 'rug' that looks like a clothes strewn on the floor. Lastly, there are wallpapers and floors to match it all. (For screenshots and pictures of the items mentioned you can check EA's The Sims 2 website or google for them).
After loading this stuff pack up into my game I sat down and played with the available items, including making new teen sims with the hairstyles and clothing. The clothing choices I very much liked though they were pretty much color variations on the same small handful of styles (but that's how it is with the game anyway). The hairstyles didn't thrill me really, but the hat options were fitting with current trends. As far as the items go, I had fun creating a couple of bedrooms with them and I liked that while there were three different styles most items could be mixed around between them to some extent. The only things I wasn't really impressed with were the flooring options. The carpets did not match very well with the wallpapers in my opinion.
Overall, I am very pleased with this stuff pack. I was able to purchase mine for the $15.99 price here on Amazon which is a bit better of a price than the $19.99. If you know what you're getting the price shouldn't be a deterant. I chose this pack because I felt it had the most items I would actually enjoy and make use of, and it is just what I was hoping it would be. This might be Teen Style Stuff but the decorative items and practical items would be perfect for children and even dorm rooms if you have the University expansion. This is not the stuff pack for you if you do not play many child, teen or young adult sims.
 Cute furniture and clothing but... November 8, 2007

I'm a huge fan of The Sims and The Sims 2; I own all the exspansion packs. I, however, was a bit hesitent about buying any of these "Stuff Packs," because why spend twenty dollars on a couple new objects when you can go to websites like TheSimsResource.com and ModTheSims2.com and download even better user-created things for free? But when this one came out I just couldn't resist buying it because of all the Princess stuff (and I'm a sucker for princess stuff) even though I knew it would probably be a waste. It turned out not to be though, it's not worth twenty dollars AT ALL but the things it comes with are pretty neat. If you're a sims addict like me(and spend all your time hoping and praying maxis won't make another expansion but can't stop buying them) you won't be disapointed. Though if I were thinking of buying it right now, I think I'd wait a couple months for it to hit the bargain bin or at least ask someone else to buy it for me for Christmas.
One of the few stuff packs that is good November 13, 2007

I hate having to spend the money on stuff packs but this one was worth it for me. There is not a lot of content for teen rooms that I have found. I bought it for the Goth but will be using the other themes also. All in all not unhappy with this pack.
Fun new houses were a bonus! December 21, 2007

We bought this for the fun teen stuff & were pleasantly surprised by the pre-decorated houses (same format on the outside, but different on the inside). This inspired us to create a teen neighborhood - with a few watchful adults and a couple of pesky younger siblings, of course!

Each Stuff Pack, I believe, is a waste of money. That's just my opinon...one time I saw my friend's stuff pack and they only had a limited amount of stuff. The trailers seem like they have more stuff but in the end they really just don't. EA should just include the stuff with each new expansion pack instead of selling them for an extra 20.00 but they don't which is why I don't buy the stuff packs. The actual expansion packs are more fun...and are worth it too! Comparing to the price versus the items, I say EA is just ripping people off!
