===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 "Forums - Community - The Sims 3"].

''thesims3.com''. </ref><ref>[http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/529566.page "Forums - Community - The Sims 3"]. ''thesims3.com''. </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.
