===Price concerns===
When the game was announced, several users from ''The Sims 3'' forums had expressed concerns<ref>http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/534744.page</ref><ref>http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/525293.page</ref><ref>http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/529566.page</ref> 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|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.
 
Recently, EA has lowered the price of the game to $20, €20<ref>http://www.amazon.fr/Les-Sims-Perry-D%C3%A9lices-Sucr%C3%A9s/dp/B007UY9J8I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345901568&sr=8-1</ref> and £10.
