Welcome to a new stuff pack--this time of things appropriate to the bedroom and bath.
Hairs: the male hair included is weird-looking, but the female ones don't miss a single beat and are all quite usable and fun-looking, with lots of detail. The face mask is odd and an off-note in an otherwise really high-quality hairs/accessories catalog. Still, I usually hate the hairs that come with Stuff Packs, and I fully expected to hate these too. I loved these enough to rate this part of it 5/5.
Clothes: WOW. Really nice selection of especially female adult clothes. The Luxe set sort of touched on this theme last year, but not as much as this pack has. Very lovely, every single one of them. Not a miss in the set except for one lumpy every shirt for women. The men's clothes are good, too, with prints and cute designs. 5/5.
Objects: This is why the set is so much smaller--there are about 3 dozen objects, which sounds like a lot but really isn't. One bedroom suite set (bed, end table, dresser, etc), one bathroom suite set (tub, sink, etc), and some deco items. The bay window is absolutely lovely and actually adds environment--which I think is a first for windows. There are lots of plants and other decorations, all of which are nice. The candle lamps are really sweet. Recolors are generally good, especially for the bed, which is a four-poster that doesn't completely cover the bed itself (a big gripe for me). Everything here adds to environment and is generally very boosting for the Sims using them. The "look" of the objects is so-so for me, but at least they're well-made and detailed, with no cartoony aspects. That some objects look like re-done Luxe stuff is a minor concern. 5/5.
Though smaller than other Stuff Packs, I feel this one is of far higher quality than others that EA has put out in the last couple of years. If you didn't care about Luxe, or don't care about lingerie or more romantic deco, then you're safe in passing this one by, but otherwise, I think it's a very good lineup of objects, clothes, and hair.

Immediately after purchasing and downloading the newest Sims 3 Stuff pack from Amazon I sensed something was amiss. The file download size was 2 to 3 times smaller then any of the other Sims 3 stuff packs I had purchased before, but I presumed perhaps they had made it more efficient and smaller using different compression techniques, oh boy was I wrong. Opening up the folder for everything from this pack I was immediately disappointed at the general lack of quantity. This is by far the smallest stuff pack to yet come out but it is still the same price as the others. The quality of the items was fine as usual but I just could not get past the fact that I paid $20 for a set of about 24 things. There are bigger collections for download on the Sims 3 site! Honestly, if you want a Sims 3 stuff pack, buy High End Loft or Outdoor Life, they have far more items for about the same price.Best Deals for The Sims 3: Master Suite Stuff
I bought mine through an electronics store, but I felt compelled to let others know about this game. For the amount you pay for this, it is not worth the few new items you get. I totally think that these game items could have been purchased individually through the Sims 3 Store online. I was expecting more hairstyles, home decor, and other really neat additions. It seemed more like EA was more concerned with making a quick $20 for a meager amount of work, than to give the fans something worth their money. I would wait until they offer these through the Sims 3 Store, especially in the compilation packs they sell. Save your money for now.Honest reviews on The Sims 3: Master Suite Stuff
And the Stuff packs continue to disappoint, sort of. Honestly I think the only good Stuff pack for TS3 was the very first one High End Loft which also tied in very nicely with a ton of the store content (everything that has that futuristic blue glow).This time around the theme is technically a romantic boudoir bedrooms and bathrooms that would make up a master suite. The problem? I just used plurals in that sentence, and in fact you only get TWO sets: one bedroom, one bathroom. The objects are all really nice, don't get me wrong, but if I'm buying a Stuff pack I expect multiple options on the theme. The bedroom has a relatively girly feel: a bed with canopy-style curtains and French-inspired bedroom furniture including a dresser, mirror, sconces, lounge chair, etc., plus a few things of flowers, candles, and artwork of roses.
The bathroom sort of evokes an Asian vibe, but not really I say that because the shower is made of slats of bamboo-looking wood and all the other pieces fall in line with that. You do get a pretty expansive bathroom set including a shower, tub, toilet, and some decorations, but again, if you compare this to something like High End Loft Stuff, you'd notice that the shapes are all quite pedestrian. They really haven't reinvented things at all.
The biggest addition to the game, in fact, is the women's lingerie and PJ options. There are probably something like 30 new nighties, bras, panties, robes, etc. so if you were feeling like you had a shortfall in those areas, then you'll probably dig this pack. Admittedly the new clothes are lovely (although annoyingly restricted to lingerie and swimwear, with one or two *debatably* crossover pieces) and I've had fun outfitting my sims in new loungewear...but it begs the question, did I really need to spend $20 to get them when there's so much CC out there? Also predictably, the guys get all of three to four new items, and no other age group benefits from the new content.
Altogether I wouldn't call this the worst Stuff pack ever, because the items themselves are really nice, but the quantity of them is probably at an all-time low.
