I bought this and I was thinking it was going to include new hairstyles but it really did not. I think it was not worth the money I paid!

Who doesn't like a little glitz and glamour? I appreciate the availability and quick delivery of SIMS 2 expansion disks. I recommend added as many of these STUFF disks to your games as possible; it makes your SIMS 2 homes and people a lot more interesting.
One of the better Stuff packs... - Review written on January 15, 2008

Stuff packs are designed as two things: #1) A cash grab for Maxis and #2) to add more items (no gameplay) to The Sims games in between expansion packs. They're a good idea in theory but often they rely on adding tons of lesser things like clothing and wallpaper/floors instead of things that Simmers clamour for - new hairstyles, edible food, and furniture.

Glamour Life is one of the better Stuff packs out there in that it does include a lot of new, nice furniture. There are a couple of main sets - a bedroom and a dining area that are in a similar art deco wood style. Aside from that there is also a huge number of decorations and accessories ranging from an elaborate chandelier to an Egyptian wall mural. The main colour schemes for both the furniture and the associated decor (floors/walls/accessories) are a few shades of wood (mahogany, orange, and pale blonde) as well as some marble (green, black, white) to add a bit of decadence to your home.

In terms of clothing, the game really only adds formal wear - tons of nice new things for the adult male and females but not much for the other ages. There are a couple of new regular outfits as well (fur coats and suits for the ladies for example) and silk PJs for the adults. There aren't very many new hairstyles or other 'looks' features.

Overall I think this is one of the better stuff packs because the theme is not as specific as other packs - you'll use the furniture a lot more than the items found in teen or family stuff because they aren't related to children/teens - they can be used lifelong. I've found myself using them a lot and am glad I own this pack, even if the initial price is a bit steep.

It's a pretty cool addition, but you should save your money and buy it used on eBay. It doesn't have enough to add to the game for the price.

EA stuff packs tend to be over-priced. This one does have some nice clothing and furniture meshes. It's worth getting, but better if you can get it on sale.

I was sorta hoping for more clothes and furniture. I mean the stuff is good but it could have been more glamorus. Like I was hoping for a bed with a canopy and things like that. But other than that this is a great game if you like the little things that make a house glamorous.The Sims 2 Glamour Life Stuff

Even though this game does not have a lot of new things, it is a lot of fun especially the fur coats I can dress my sims in. The new furniture is very nice and overall I am very pleased.

I love playing the sims 2, and wanted to add more objects to my game so I got this expansion to add to my game. Well, I paid 20.00 dollars for it at walmart I do like the fur coats for Ladies and some other objects but I wish there were more objects, for the money maybe they will put more on a new expansion pack. I hope

The Glamour Life expansion pack is just a treat! This "stuff" pack is a great add-on, especially for those of us that are too skeptical to download items from the web. The pack comes with great furniture and clothing options that are inspired from the (in my opinion) greatest era ever for furniture; Art Deco! One thing too keep in mind is that while most of the wall coverings are lovley there are some very hideous ones too. The last thing is that if modern style isn't your taste (for you or your sims alike) then I wouldn' reccomend this to you, but I love it!

I bought this for my daughter and this is what she had to say about Glamour Life Stuff: "This is the expansion pak that you need if you want to spice up your wardrobe with a little glamour! It includes clothes for your young Sims as well as the older ones with A LOT more clothes for the toddlers. (I LOVE those Swedish Dreams silk p.j.'s!!!) It has elegant home accents to enhance your environment bar and the guide book includes Fashion Do's and Dont's". This is a MUST for every Sims fanatic!!!"

That's funny that the last question on this review is "am I over the age of 13". Yeah, I guess so. I'm 50 yrs old and such a computer nerd. This games has the best graphics and interaction.

I liked the items that were added to my Sims 2 from this 'Glamour Life Stuff' but, as many reviewers mentioned what you see on the cover of this 'expansion' is basically the only new items your Sims will get. Overall, some nice items here, but not worth the money in my opinion.

Well, as a long time Simmer, this add on was definately better than the family fun stuff edition. That said, there were not enough items, and the cost of the edition was too much for the contents. The fansites have wonderful downloads for the Sims 2 and I am a dedicated fan of the fansites themselves. The fur-coats and the furniture were the most impressive for me in this add-on. I also enjoyed the new wallpapers and floors as well. All in all this is a good edition, especially to those of us who don't download off the fansites. Here's hoping they do an add-on for Pets....come on people, give me more toys for my kitty cat! Happy Simming!
Love Sims2 & Expansions - This Stuff Ain't Worth It - Review written on January 30, 2007

Rating: 2 out of 5

I love playing Sims2 once in a while, and the expansions are usually a lot of fun. However, the Glamour Life Stuff & other *Stuff* add ons are just not worth the money. You basically just get a few new styles of furniture & clothes, but nothing that makes gameplay any better or different. Perhaps if they put these out at $10 or less with 2 - 3 times the choices, it may be a more worthwhile purchase.

Excellent clothes in full dress - Review written on January 09, 2007

The clothes of the men are very elegant, whereas the clothes of the children are little. With respect to the feminine clothes, they are too sensual and had to bring objects that adapted to the type of social life that settles down in the game.
Misled and disappointed! - Review written on January 08, 2007

First off, having heard of the Sims, but never having played it, I came across the Glamour Life Stuff game in Target. It looked like tons of fun and really girly so I bought it. When I got it home to play it, I realized I had to first buy The Sims 2 platform and that the game I had was an add-on. I was pretty disappointed by that, but I went ahead and ordered the game brand new off Amazon and had to wait 2 weeks for it to arrive. When it arrived, my husband shoved me out of the way to play, but immediately tired of it after 10 min. He wanted to create a character in his likeness, but was put off by how time-consuming and complex that process was. That was good for me because then I got to sit down and play it. It was neat at first and I liked being able to make mistakes and not have the game automatically saved. After a week of playing the original platform, I then added the Glamour Life expansion and was disappointed. There were only a handful of new "items" to choose from and I felt like I was cheated (especially since this game was the only reason I bought Sims 2 to begin with). I now see that they have other expansions such as Pets. I think EA should just put one platform out with all the options with it instead of making people spend $20 so they can have a pet. And who are these people that buy this? I bought the Glamour Life version because I thought that it was its own game, not an add-on. I feel ripped off and want to make sure other people don't waste their money like I did. Oh, and by the way....I am now (after two weeks) bored with Sims 2. It must be for younger audiences (although I am only 26). I feel like real life is much more interesting than this game.

Not enough items for the price. The furniture is spectacular, but then again, it is not enough especially if you're a die hard decorator like me. If you don't download objects/items at all from the web, get a used copy of this so the price is semi-fair.

This game was so awesome and fun now I can't stop playing it. The moment I started playing it even better than the origanial Sims 2. Glamour for life totally made a diffrence in the game. Now I still can't stop playing it. All the new clothing and furniter completly changed the game for me and I think this exspantion pack deserves a 5 star score.

You get a few outfits and some new furniture but not a lot. With all of the free stuff out there to download for The Sims, the Stuff Pack is not very worth it. Maxi is just milking the franchise for every penny.

The continuation of the Sims2 game renews the fun for me with every expansion pack. The smaller expansions in between the big ones, ie. Glamour life stuff and/or Holiday mini-pack are good in my book because I get tired of the same decor and clothing after a while. It's nice to get fresh things. Although, EA could just bundle those small expansions in with one of the bigger ones like Sims2 Nightlife or Sims2 Pets, for examples.
Regardless, I still love the Sims2 and I look forward to more enhancements in the future. :)

I have all the Sims and Sim's 2 products and each one is more fun and more involving than the last! The addition of pets and the abilities to create custom pets is very amusing and it adds a whole new dimension to the game. The new items that are included in the Glamour Life expansion set are great additions to the game as well.

I noticed there were not many new items in this game, I found this the advertising for this game to be deceiving. This expansion ws not worth the money.
