Release and post-release
Sweet Treats was first discovered as the 6th stuff pack from a South African gaming retailer at the start of 2012. It was announced on April 3, 2012 and was released on June 8, 2012 in North America. The Steam Version became available on November 20, 2012 along with Diesel, Supernatural and Seasons.

On July 15, 2013, a Community Manager for EA confirmed that this stuff pack has been retired and is no longer available on Origin. Therefore, EA will not produce any more physical or digital copies of Katy Perry's Sweet Treats. Unused game codes for the pack can still be used to add the game to one's Origin library.

Price concerns
When the game was announced, several users from The Sims 3 forums had expressed concerns  of the pack's price being US$30, €30 and £25 compared to US$20, €20 and £10 which is the price of other stuff packs.

Some users said that Katy Perry's contract may be the cause of the price increase as they also compared it with The Sims 3: Showtime: Katy Perry Collectors Edition. Other users said that it was due to the fact that the pack has a lot of content compared to other stuff packs.
