Stuff packs are minor expansion packs for The Sims 3 that add new items, clothing, and furniture to the game without implementing any significant changes to gameplay.
The Sims 3: High-End Loft Stuff (HELS), or The Sims 3 Design and Hi-Tech Stuff in Europe, is the first stuff pack for The Sims 3, and was released in February 2, 2010. It includes high-end furnishings, electronic devices such as televisions, video game consoles, and computers, as well as postmodern designs of bookshelves, tables, and chairs. It contains clothes with a fashion-forward apparel, tailored suits, and sophisticated outerwear. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Sims, 3 items from The Sims or The Sims 2 are re-introduced: the heart-shaped vibrating bed, the electric guitar, and the aquarium. This is also the first game of The Sims 3 to include Shop Mode. There is only a single new object for any given category. While there is a new TV and a new bathtub, there is only one new TV and only one new bathtub. Most items featured in this pack are more expensive than items from other stuff packs.
The Sims 3: Fast Lane Stuff (FLS) is the second stuff pack released for The Sims 3. It was officially announced on June 28, 2010 and the official release in North America was September 7, 2010. The release date for Europe was September 9. In some places, it was September 10. FLS is centered on cars and the lifestyle of the Sims who drive cars. It features 12 new vehicles and many new objects and styles of clothing, as well as the Vehicle Enthusiast trait. This is the first time a stuff pack has included a new trait. The Vehicle Enthusiast Trait enables Sims to have a relationship with their vehicle. The car will appear in the sim's friends tab and the more a Sim drives a vehicle, the better the relationship becomes. A Sim will eventually be able to name the vehicle. A new radio station, "rockabilly", is added as well.
The Sims 3: Outdoor Living Stuff (OLS) is the third stuff pack for The Sims 3. It was officially announced on December 7, 2010, with an official release date of February 1, 2011. Rumors for the pack began appearing in October 2010. Players can build al fresco settings for their Sims with new furnishings, outdoor electronics, and fire pits and fireplaces. The stuff pack includes highly customizable hot tubs, which have become more interactive. Outdoor cooking is also included, as there is a selection of new stoves for outdoor settings. All items in the set are divided into two styles, Garden on the Terrace and Sunset on the Veranda. It was the first pack to not contain a game manual in the box. All packs released following have not contained user manuals instead containing a small 2 page install sheet with the serial code attached.
