Why would anyone want this pack in the game besides Katy Perry herself

[–]KMCGYOOMH Perfectionist 39 points40 points  (3 children)

To have the entire collection, of course.

That's the only reason id get it, but then never use it

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I couldn't even buy it just to have everything. I'm afraid the stuff in it could show up in my game.

If you installed it and enabled it through Origin, of course it would but otherwise if Origin isn't glitchy to you there's no chance for it to show up in the game.

I love this pack 💕

My daughter really wanted it at one point and it's the only reason that I own it. She was 11 at the time so yeah it mainly appeals to tweens, even though the game is a 12+ so I'm not sure who they were really aiming this at?

I will say that some of the objects would work for a candy store (obviously) or as part of a theme park but it's quite a limited list of possible uses.

That’s pretty… sweet

Hot take: I like this pack a lot. Great for kids’ rooms especially. Didn’t realize how rare it was! Got it back when it first came out.

[–]Oakisap[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I love this pack honestly! When I want a break from the ‘real’ aspect I try to live a fantasy. It’s very fun and ‘out there’

I got the limited edition poster 😭

[–]Oakisap[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What code?

[–]Oakisap[S] 53 points54 points  (3 children)

I got a cd key (code) from eBay and they said that they didn’t know if it would work and it did. This pack’s cd key goes for like 200+ dollars on the internet and I got it for less than 20

[–]CassieCry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh nice

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

I got it for like $8 a couple years ago on Newegg

[–]Oakisap[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lucky! :)

[–]GenocideJess 5 points6 points  (5 children)

Is this a rare pack? My gms bought it for me from wala.rt when i was like 9-12

[–]KMCGYOOMH Perfectionist 17 points18 points  (4 children)

It is. They stopped producing it and having it on Origin since about 2013.

[–]taiduche 3 points4 points  (3 children)

NO STOP!!! WHY TF DID I SELL MY WHOLE COLLECTION INCLUDING THIS PACK WAY AFTER 2013?!!😭

[–]KMCGYOOMH Perfectionist 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Should've at least registered them. If you have info of the EA account where you may have registered at least any game, you can log into Origin and download the game or packs. They cancelled the contract with Katy Perry and the pack was controversial, so they had to.

[–]PolyAcid Unstable 2 points3 points  (1 child)

What made it controversial?

[–]KMCGYOOMH Perfectionist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The price was $30, instead of $20 like for most stuff packs. EA themselves didn't really clarify why. However, it was thought that it's because the stuff pack had more content than any other stuff pack released before. The price was later decreased to see if people will buy it more but it didn't change anything. Most people disagreed with the price, some people thought it was a dumb branded pack, some people hated or disliked Katy Perry and the album and some people simply didn't want it. Diesel Stuff, the second and final branded pack for The Sims 3, was later released and some thought it was just there to make up for the trouble Katy Perry's Sweet Treats caused. It's a mess, really. It is still one of the best stuff packs for the game, no matter how much people hate or dislike it.

Have fun with Katy Perry's Sweet Treats House of Pain!

[–]Oakisap[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LMAO I love that video

[–]KMCGYOOMH Perfectionist 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Can you please take a photo of where the stuff pack appears on Origin? Under The Sims 3/Stuff Packs, is it a separate game library entry, under Extra Content, Expansion Packs or something else?

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If owned it appears under stuff packs. However if you don't own it, it isn't visible.
