Not so bad.

2007-10-30
For this being a stuff pack i was surprised and shocked.. Yes it is a stuff pack, i know you shouldn't expect much from it but oh well.. it came with clothes (only for women, men, teenagers, and children that are girls.) not a very large supply but enough to deal with it. and three malls. But you can also buil your own. what i enjoyed was that along with the trendy clothes you also had new aspirations and a life long dream. (only if you haven't already downloaded a stuff pack or expansion pack)and a scope room feature. I believe you can only use it with teens & adults. The case also says that you can create your own fashion show. I'm still in the process of figuring that out.

But hey you can't have your Sims roam the streets in rags now can you?
(i'm sure you can but it isn't very appealing)

Not Bad

Great Product and definetely worth the money if you are a true sim fan. Tons of clothes for the price.

One problem... I'm not sure if this is just me or others had the same issue. Once I installed H&M, I had to uninstal seasons. For some reason, it wouldn't run both. I even replaced my seasons with a brand new copy of it and it still had the same issue. Hmmmm...

way overpriced!

Just more "stuff" for the truly addicted Sims 2 Fan. Way too overpriced and now that it's in the game I can't find it! But I had to have it, didn't I? I'm not rich enough to throw money away like this...and I thought I was way too old to be conned so easily! Guess I'm more hooked on Sims 2 than I thought!

A dark cloud on a sunny day

2007-08-28
I've had some issues with gameplay after installing it. My bodyshop has had trouble functioning as well. I LOVE the clothes and the items that come with the game, but the issues are a tad frustrating. I can't see a good deal of my clothing in the bodyshop, they show up as code. But I have adapted. I don't know if anyone else has had issues. Purhaps the problem is that I installed Seasons then H & M. All and all I can still play, which is the sunny side of things. Ignoring the dark cloud of computer error, this is one of the best stuff packs for Sims 2 so far.

Very nice!

The Sims 2 H&M Fashion Stuff is way more complete than the previous stuff packs, because besides a wide range of new clothing, the pack also offers new objects to build your own H&M store. The new cash machine is a great addition (specially when compared to the previous ones), as well as the ceiling "square" light :D It also has a two-story window which looks very cool in modern houses. The male clothes are very nice, a shame there's only a few. The female ones are... well, some are good, but some will perfectly fit your sims with bad taste. And if you don't feel like building a whole new store, the game provides some so that you can get fashion sims right away! It would be perfect if there were more clothes for males.

Alot of New Clothes

2008-06-16
The clothes that come with the original Sims game get old after a while so I bought this...you get a lot of new clothes that are cuter! But I haven't quite figured out how to model it or whatever.

Yet another stuff pack

2008-05-15
I'm not a huge fan of Stuff Packs. They just add things to your game. Most of these "things" you can get free at Sims 2 sites for modding. I do use several things from this stuff pack: clothing, doors, decor for shopping malls. Good for building your own neighborhood. Huge list of modding sites at [...]

Don't believe everything you see!

I purchased this game with the expectations of having actual runway modeling shows. There is no catwalk to purchase which means you can't have a modeling show. The only catwalk is sold, and used like the disco rug in Nightlife. On the up side of it all this game offered more clothes. Not the most trendiest attire but more attire none the less. If I had it to do all over again I would have saved my money, and continued to download my updated fashions.

Beautiful 'Stuff'

2008-02-04
I think this particular Stuff pack was the least well received by the Sims community, and in some ways, they have a point. The idea behind the packs is to add strictly content items to your Sims game, ones that may not fit in with an expansion theme, or ones that will just add to the general collection of items you have, without having to download custom content over the internet.

This particular pack is very very focused on one single thing - fashion, specifically for your adult sims (teens and young adults get appropriately sized copies of the adult fashions). There aren't really any other additions to the game other than a HUGE schwack of clothes and H&M branded items that you can use to make your own H&M stores or shopping malls.

The good news is, the clothes are definitely lovely - the quality and detail on them outdo everything Maxis or custom content creators have done (that I can see), and each outfit comes in at least a few different colours/styles. I'd agree with other reviewers on the site that there is a gender bias towards the women, as well as the young folks (not that H&M is targeted towards seniors but really...). The bad news is, that's all she wrote...if you aren't interested in dressing your Sims, or if you're not a big fan of branded content, this game probably isn't for you. Having recently cleanly (i.e. limited to no internet custom content) reinstalled my game, I'm grateful to have so many fashion choices at my fingertips, but if you don't care, then don't buy it!

H & M Review

This was purchased later in the expansion pack list. In order for it to install, you have to un-install Seasons. This was a bit of a hassel, causing me for some reason to loose my saved games. All though I had saved them to my desktop.
