It may not be a very popular opinion, but I like both The Sims 3 and The Sims 4. The Sims 4 would be almost perfect perhaps if it were to mix in The SIms 3 (which also means better pets including real unicorns, better quality dlc that is more reasonably priced and more beefy similar to The Sims 3 but contrary to The SIms 3 it does not necessarily need a "store", better stories behind each family where perhaps The Sims 4 could have taken place between The Sims and The Sims 2, color wheel options for almost everything, zodiac signs, actual elevators, better university experience, spiral stairs, and especially open world even if it has to be "a little" less open than The Sims 3 but not much to travel more easily between worlds) with The Sims 4 (better build build items, gallery, neighborhood stories being basegame so that way you do not have to rotate as much between families, better CaS items, easy to travel between worlds, infants lifestage, overall better occults than The SIms 3, slightly better/different graphics than The Sims 3, better mods than mods from The SIms 3, and etc...) along with prioritizing the fixing of bugs over making dlc so that way mods do not have to be relied upon as much for fixing them.

I have owned this pack for a long time and have not given it a review until now, but get it while it is free if you were one of those people hesitant to buy this stuff pack. I like this more than My First Pet Stuff, but I could understand why some people might never get this pack, unless if it is free.

Better than Return of Rome. Also, the Armenians have been buffed and have a higher win rate now on 1v1 multiplayer (according to aoestats). Contrary to what people might say this dlc is not overpriced either, but if the price is an issue then just simply wait for a discount. As someone who loves playing Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition the price alone should not be alone should not be the only reason for people not recommending this. I would overall rate this 7.5 out of 10 (but could be rated higher if the Georgians had a higher win rate on 1v1 multiplayer, the campaigns were more challenging on harder difficulty settings than standard, and maybe added three new civilizations instead of two new civilizations) and while it may not be one of the best dlc packs I do like it overall.

I did eventually get this kit pack after waiting for a long time to get it instead of buying when it first came out, but the only reason why I got this is because I own almost every pack in the game. I would overall not recommend this kit pack and especially not as one of your first kit packs. Some of the CaS items look interesting and cute that I might use with my sims, but I also do not think that this is one of the better CaS kit packs either and I would basically compare this to custom content, except for that it is not free. The only CaS kit pack worse than this pack currently is Modern Menswear.

Why is this (42%) rated lower than Journey Batuu (48%)? I personally think this gamepack is better than Journey to Batuu and has a better vacation world (especially if you also own Seasons expansion pack) than Batuu as well. I also use the CaS (which I like even more when combined with Seasons expansion pack just like the vacation world) and build items frequently from this gamepack as well. Maybe not one of the best gamepacks, but I do think it is underrated. I have not noticed any bugs yet either that are specifically from this gamepack.

Why was this pack not included with Cats&Dogs to begin with or not permanently free just like Holiday Celebration which in my personal opinion should be a permanently free pack instead of a stuff pack? I only got this pack because it was free, but even if you were lucky enough to get this pack for free it is mostly useless besides maybe the hamster related stuff because either someone does not own Cats&Dogs or maybe some people own the Cats&Dogs expansion pack but do not play with pets that much during gameplays even if owning My First Pet as well. If this pack becomes free again (which I am assuming it only became free because of pet related stuff included from "For Rent" expansion pack) and you already own Cats&Dogs get it while it is free, but while waiting for it to become free again do not buy this stuff pack. The only stuff pack I would not recommend getting (which is worse than even the toddlers, luxury party, perfect patio, and cool kitchen stuff packs) and especially when it is not free.

Much better than My First Pet even when it is not free, but while I did get this pack a long time ago it is nice that this has become free on Steam even if for only a short period of time. I also use at least some of the items from this pack frequently as well. The wishing well is also fun, because it adds more gameplay.

I have watched enough youtube videos (especially from early access) to know that this pack is worth getting, going to be fun, and definitely better than Horse Ranch and even Eco Lifestyle where I have not noticed any game breaking issues yet with this expansion pack while playing. I am also hoping it will be just as good as City Living if not better. I could however understand why some people are going to wait for a discount, wait until enough bugs are fixed from this expansion pack, or hesitant to buy this pack for a while. If you do not own any packs and only have basegame I would not recommend getting this pack yet, but if you already own at least some expansion packs and other packs it might be worth getting. While the limited time build items are nice that should not be the only reason for getting this pack.

(Edit) Despite me recommending this dlc I am only giving it a 5.5 out of 10 rating. RoR is what AoE: DE could have been and may not be as bad as what some people claim it to be, but at the same time the ported RoR is so different from AoE: DE that it is like comparing to apples and oranges in my opinion. AoE: DE is good for nostalgia and in my opinion should not be changed too much just so that way it can even have dlc, but RoR is noticeably different from AoE: DE as well and RoR unfortunately does not have a campaign yet for Romans from AoE II: DE besides the ported version. The newer additions are nice and probably more campaigns in the future will be added, but it still not significant enough for me to give a better review than 5.5 out of 10 especially when considering the fact the remade campaigns overall seem easier than the D.E version.

At just 76% positive the full version at least in my opinion should be rated higher on Steam, because the free demo does not include everything besides getting more people interested in playing this game which benefits the most mainly from unranked multiplayer for the demo since ranked multiplayer is not free to get. If you want the best experience especially for single player then at least buy the basegame if the cost is not an issue. As for the additional dlc after getting the full version they are more optional. I would also like to argue as well that AoE III: DE (full version) is actually the second best game in this series and only AoE II: DE is arguably better since no other game from this series is designed anything like this game especially with the deck cards, different AI leader personalities for skirmishes, different ages than the other three games, and home city.
