I do agree with all of the expansion pack hate. I bought a couple (World Adventures, Ambitions, Seasons) but then I thought to myself, screw this and obtained the rest through... other means.

The stuff packs are the worst though. High End Loft Stuff (the very first one) is like £9, and all you get is a couple of items, maybe a new bed, some clothes, and that's your lot. I obtained them through other means too. I just gave up spending money.
