Finally, I have gotten this month new items. And in this new blog post, I would like to talk about the Vertical Challenge Rock Wall, though, the items i truly love in this set is the Safari Living Set.
Here's what the item in game description
Vertical Challenge Rock Wall
An adventurer's journey awaits any tenacious Sim courageous enough to take on the Vertical Challenge Rock Wall! Your endurance and athleticism soar with each vertical inch ascended, and with every climbing competition won, your confidence (and your wallet) will swell! Whether your goal is fitness, climbing supremecy or conquring K2, with the VC Rock Wall the pinnacle of adventure is finally within your grasp!
Immediately after installing the new item, it is time to head into Outdoor activities category to test out this cool new item! I dragged out the vertical wall and placed them back to back in the big park that comes with The Sims 3 Generations.
There are three levels of difficulty of this rock wall - easy, medium, hard. The wall becomes steeper with each increasing level of difficulty. Sims can use this wall to skill up their level of athleticism and gain some fun too!
Although this rock wall might seem interesting at first time, there are not much interactions available. Personally, I feel that my sims cant live without it and,instead, choose to hit the gym to gain their athletic skill.
LOl, if only sims could die of falling off the wall.....
Yes. The man eating cow plant from The Sims 2 University has come to The Sims 3------------Store as premium content.
The cow plant in sims 3 is pretty useless (at least in my game). After waiting for 3 to 4 days of starving the plants, without petting/playing with/ feeding, the plants will start to show its cake bait to attract the unsuspecting sims who are so greedy for the cake.
Until now, I still not sure if being eaten by the plant will bring death or not, because every sims who were eaten in my game would come back again somewhere in the sims world after a while or being regurgitated by the plants. I searched through The Sims 3 Forum and some stated that death by cow plant is 50/50. If death happens, the ghost will come back in purple color - which is the colour for ghosts who died from starvation. Cow plant cant really eat children and old sims though, as these category sims who being swallowed would be vomited out by the plant. Also, cow plant wont eat stinky sims!! So smart ehhh...
Look Cow Plant in action!
You can Praise/ Scold your cow plant after it has successfully eaten the stupid sims who came close to it. The praises and scolds will either encourage or discourage the plant from continuing to behave that way. The Elixir of Life (as what The Sims 2 called the extract from milking ) enables the sims who consume it to return to their beginning of their life stage!
The Cow Plant comes together with other useless items like cow plant arcade machine (meh, i have plenty of arcade machines from The Sims 3 Late Night, other store sets), cow plant spring rider (meh again, i have many spring riders from The Sims 3 Generations and store sets too) and the rest are just decorations..
Buy the set from The Sims 3 Store if you dying to have to plant in your game!

EA just released another stuff pack - The Sims 3 Town Life Stuff this week! It is a stuff pack, so don't expect any new game play in this game... Click here to learn about features of this game on The Sims 3 official website. And, do watch the trailer below~
Personally I quite like all the stuff add in CAS, may be except for 1 or 2 clothes for adult male..The new hairstyle for both adult male and female are simple yet nice enough to match any face features you create.

♦ Male Children – 1 Hairstyle, 1 Top, 1 Pair of Pants
♦ Female Children – 1 hairstyle, 1 Top, 1 Pair of Pants, 1 Outfit

Build Mode Objects (5)
Buy Mode Objects (35)
Personal opinion:
The worst stuff pack ever released in Sims series. The objects are just reskined from the existing objects in other expansion/stuff pack without any variation from the original objects. I can easily get the objects created by other creative sims players,
People who might be interested and wish to buy this stuff pack:
Those who don't have The Sims 3 Generations and hope to provide their children sims with more toy like sandbox, spring riders and treehouse. (better save your money and buy the expansion pack, right?)
Those who want to do laundry in their game because they do not have The Sims 3 Ambitions. (again, save your money and get the expansion if I were you. Or, you can also get the laundry set from Sims Store)
Those who enjoy building in the sims game. The building objects seem fresh and modern to create many exciting new buildings.
Loyal sims fans who never miss any expansion or stuff packs.
**P.S: All comments above are written purely based on my personal opinion without trying to offend or discourage anyone from buying the stuff pack. It is your money. You can do whatever you want. But, please be reminded The Sims 3 Pets will be released soon (18/10/2011) and may be you need to save some money for it?
