My Thoughts

I love The Sims 3 and Katy Perry, so her addition to the “The Sims 3: Showtime” expansion pack and this whole stuff pack with her items is something I really wanted to use in my games. I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of really good and unique content that was added in with this stuff pack. Sometimes the stuff packs are a little bit of a letdown, but this one is fabulous! Sure, Katy Perry fans will enjoy it the most, but so what? It adds bright, fun new items to the game that are completely original. I love it!

This “Stuff Pack” has a large amount of new items, especially clothing for female adult Sims. Most of my characters I care about dressing up differently are adult female Sims anyways, so this didn’t bother me in the least. By my count, there are 33 new clothing items, and only 2 of those are for adult males. I had quite a bit of fun dressing up my Katy Perry Sim and other Sims around town in her costumes. I also designed her home to include a variety of the new objects as well. It makes for a fun pop singer experience with the Showtime expansion pack as well.

Katy Perry’s Sweet Treats also includes three new venues for your Sims to hangout at. “Bonbon Lawn” is a park that features candy playground equipment. The Sim kids I took there enjoyed playing on the equipment, but I bet they were pretty disappointed they couldn’t wear any of Katy’s new clothing items. The “Cake Pleasure Dome” is a charming local hangout that I quite enjoyed taking Sims to visit. However, my favorite out of the three is “Patty’s Natural Baths” which is a new pool location that features candy inspired décor and even a licorice slippery slide. This is a fun place to throw a birthday party at, especially for kids!

Overall, I really enjoyed this stuff pack. It has so many new clothing selections and objects that it really allows you to turn your neighborhood into a candy-wonderland if you so desire. It is fun and uplifting, and I highly recommend it.
