With the Sims 3 phenomenon more or less in full swing, the first Stuff Pack for that title has been released. The Sims 3 High-End Loft Stuff also marks the tenth anniversary of the Sims franchise. It’s hard to imagine that ten years have already passed since these little computer people began stealing the hearts of players around the globe.


As the first Stuff Pack for Sims 3, High-End Loft Stuff is crammed with just that – things to fill up the Sims’ lives with. The pack includes items for every aspect of Sim living, and for every room in the house. Transforming the house into a stylish, loft-apartment style abode is easy with items like the Slimline Sofa by Svelte Seating, or the Glo-Li-La Coffee Table. The DuoDreamer bed will transform any bedroom, and the Pythagoras Corner Bathtub and Lesink Omni make perfect compliments to the bathroom needs of a truly classy Sim.


The list of new items is extensive, including three 10th anniversary gifts for players who register the Pack online. This is a great addition to the Sims 3 franchise, but one must remember that, being a Stuff Pack, it doesn’t make any major changes to the game dynamic (like World Adventures did). Still, it’s great to have a choice of new Sim goodies to decorate with… variety is, after all, the spice of Sim life.

Cool new items for Sim homes make this pack a good idea, but don’t expect any game play changes.
