This set will work for cabins,camping trips,fairy houses,the frontier sets and 3 lakes set from the store.

I think it looks great. The only thing I’m disappointed in though is the fact that the winter clothing can’t be used as outerwear. I don’t know if they forgot to enable it for outerwear or if it’s a glitch but it would have been nice to have used these for winter clothing.

Not thrilled with the clothing at all. It does suit a “camping” theme.

As for the decor, I kind of like the birch tree theme they’ve got going on, and the trendy modern stuff. They don’t work together too well, though–and as for fitting with Fae? I don’t know–too “dead” looking, I think.

One thing that’s been bothering me with a lot of the store (and expansion, and stuff pack) clothing: why do all of the dresses have to end mid-thigh? I’m tired of all the dresses either being this same short length, or else being ankle/floor length. There are other lengths of dresses! Also, women can wear pants now; it’s the twenty-first century! And guys… guys need more clothing for sure. Some preppy-casual stuff would be nice, or some fitted tees (they seem to only get loose tees).

But enough of being negative. Though the clothing isn’t the most exciting I’ve seen in the store, I do like one of the dresses. Still, won’t be purchasing this set… I love nature stuff, but this just doesn’t suit my taste.

that is what gets me, you are paying $12,20, 60 dollars REAL CURRENCY for a NOT REAL item, that doesn’t have any monetary value outside of the game, you can’t trade it, sell it…It’s just bragging rights. It’s disturbing.

It is like how virtual games and books are the same price or more expensive then actual ones…And yet they justify the cost of CD/DVD/PC ROM & books by the materials used to make them…And the digital file doesn’t have that excuse, and if the site goes down like Sims 2…all the crap you’ve (a general use of “you”) is lost unless you saved it somewhere a few times over to bar for potential corruption of data.

Sorry…My additional 2 cents on “why I don’t like virtual goods and people (self included) are stupid for investing in them”

@SIMplyThe Best & Dove
Would you believe it was just off the top of my head? Lol, stuff just comes to me like that, but I do spend waaay too much time over-analyzing things Sims and mundane. And I’m glad I could make someone’s day!

I strongly agree with you, since a single set can cost as much as a Stuff Pack (which are also over-priced, though I really wish they were sets on the store, so I could pick and choose the few things I like from some of them), but at the same time, I just wish I had the money to waste on the Store. I like a number of the sets, some of them are very appealing, and I’m going to wait a year or two before getting Sims 4, in all likely-hood, so it’d be nice if I could get some of what they have on offer. It is ridiculous how they price and bundle most of it, though.

I think your germ of a story-idea is, in fact, more awesome than the item itself. 😉

Eww. At first glance, I thought I’d like these, but taking a look at the official pics in the Store, most of these are just ugly or boring. The twig-theme is okay, but doesn’t really do it for me in most of these items. I don’t really care that it vaguely fits with the SN Fairy or Fairy Folke sets. Like someone else said, it looks more DIY than fae. The only thing I like is the hat/coat rack.

Also, the clothes really bother me. I would have liked the Faux Fur Dress, with those nice clasps in the middle, but those weird buttons on the breasts ruin it. I’m not even sure what they’re supposed to be. Pockets?

The One with Nature Dress is the absolute worst though… the overly-antlered deer-head clasp-thingy is okay, but that SKIRT! I guess it’s just the pattern they chose, but it looks like a crappy rendition of pleats on a mesh that doesn’t have any. Plus the waist is much higher than I usually care for. Anubis Under the Sun has done much better dresses of this same style, and even with his/hers, I haven’t yet been moved to DL them, but they are better quality than this, IMHO.

Admittedly, I’d probably like the Quilted Vest for adult males, and the I Heart Nature outfit for girls, with different color choices and patterns, but for 75 sim points each, you’d think they would have picked something that really makes them shine. I’m not sure I’d go out of my way to get either of them.

Maybe closer in-game pics from VIP Sims will change my mind, but so far… not my cup of tea at all, and I’m normally all for nature themes and sweaters. Sorry to be so negative, btw, but I had such a strong reaction to the store pics, I really couldn’t keep my opinion to myself. I’m probably the only one who feels this way, though. 😛

Even though they’ve been doing some great stuff lately I simply can’t get excited about The Sims 3 or have fun playing it anymore. Bring on The Sims 4!

Oh yeah, you’re right. It’s for the fairy sims I believe.
