Stuff Packs are a Mileage May Vary situation. Depends on how much you want just new objects like clothes or furniture to use. $5 is kind of steep for some of this stuff, especially with it's age and how much each pack tends to add.
But I ended up buying almost everything too. I picked up the stuff packs this autumn sale, and have everything now except for the Diesel Pack.
Worth noting that if you register your DLCs with a Sims 3 Account, you get a free 1000 Sim Points for most of them (or all of them, not sure) plus "free" rewards packs for all of the major DLCs. There's a lot of stuff on the sim store that can be worth buying, like new maps or objects that add new skills or features.
Makes "Stuff" packs look more worthwhile since you can also buy other stuff when you register them.
Nope. I got 18,000 Sim Points last night registering all of my DLCs at the same time.
Make sure you register everything via your The Sims 3 account or Origin. Then you need to go to your The Sims 3 account and keep clicking to get your free Sims Points on your account page for every DLC you register.
It was a pain in the butt, but I registered my game with a The Sims 3 account on EA. It's an older site and parts of it don't even seem to work anymore. (Can't even buy Sim points unless you go through Origin instead.)
When you're logged into your Sims 3 account (NOT ORIGIN.), you can "activate a product" and mash in your CD-keys from Steam. Alternatively you can log in to your Origin Account, if your Sims 3 game is registered there first, and punch in the CD-keys that way (It's easier since you can copy-paste. The Sims 3 site does not automatically exclude the dashes that Steam will print to your copy clipboard.)
It can take a while to register, if you do it through Origin you may have to login to the game first before your rewards start to appear on your Account Page. But if you've registered each DLC on either site, and you're sure that the same game CD-Key is registered, you should find a "get your free sims points" message under your Avatar on your Sims 3 profile page. You have to click that and refresh the page for every registered DLC you have.
I got 18,000 Sim Points for owning almost every Steam DLC except for Diesel Stuff. That's 1000 points for every DLC, as I own 18 DLCs. This is in addition to all of the rewards packs you get for specific DLCs.
OTOH, some of the SP are pricy for what you get - I only use the motocycle out of "Fast Lane", for example. "Diesel" is just clothes, but some of them are nice.
The EPs add game play, tho. Great, but a lot of it is duplicate. For example, the alchemy bench from SN and the Chemistry bench from Generations - both create ways to extend life and shorten sleep time. Similarly, SN can make a friend potion and University has the relationship transmorgifier.
If you're Prince Talweed and just hanging around (upside down) in a luxury hotel and have $7 billion, buy it. The price can't be beat even by American mercenaries.
