The Sims 2 Putting On the Ritz with Mansion & Garden Stuff Pack

Just when I thought EA surely must be out of new ideas for stuff packs, they announce The Sims 2: Mansion & Garden Stuff. The Sims 2 website describes the variety of build items and decorative pieces included in this latest offering.

"Design impressive estates and meticulous gardens for your Sims with three all-new architectural styles. Infuse your Sims' mansion with the intricate beauty of new Moroccan designs, add a touch of retro-modern style with stately and new Art Deco elements, or build in the imposing new Second Empire style. With a host of new architectural and landscaping items to choose from, your Sims mansions will look more stunning than ever!"

My enthusiasm for The Sims 2 has waned over the years although I've been watching developments on The Sims 3 with interest. I will say that this pack is exactly the kind of "stuff" I enjoy collecting and building with. Some items I recognize as recolors, but there also seems to be a number of fresh offerings as well. I must say this is the first stuff pack in a while to make me consider loading The Sims 2 back onto my system instead of waiting for the sequel.
