The Sims 3: Katy Perry's Sweet Treats is the 6th stuff pack for The Sims 3. It 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[3] 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 [4] 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. This is presumably due to EA's contract with Katy Perry having expired.[citation needed]

Description

Indulge your Sims with the sweet and vibrant style of Katy Perry. The Sims™ 3 Katy Perry’s Sweet Treats pack showcases a vast range of décor items, furniture, and, of course, fabulous fashions and hairstyles! Inspired by Katy’s real-life clothing and props, these fun furnishings, décor, and fashions will add a dash of sweet style to your Sims’ lives. Packed with more stuff than you have ever seen, your Sims will also enjoy three all-new spectacular venues including a local hangout, a town park, and a neighborhood swimming pool—each decked out in delicious Katy Perry style!

Features

  • Sweeten your Sims’ lives with delicious, Katy Perry-inspired items from a cupcake-themed guitar and candy playground equipment, to luscious cotton candy trees and more.
  • Make your Sims’ homes and neighborhood into a vibrant candytopia, complete with whimsical and colorful furnishings and décor, such as a banana split sofa, a fountain made of candy, or even a waffle cone picnic table.
  • Outfit your Sims in an array of new clothing and hairstyles that are straight from Katy Perry’s red carpet appearances, music videos and concert performances all recreated for The Sims in a true to life way.
  • Transform the neighborhood with three, all-new, pre-built venues. Take your Sims for a dip at Patty’s Natural Baths, the sweet new pool venue, stroll over to the Bonbon Lawn Park that’s filled with candy-coated playground equipment, or relax at the sugar-filled Cake Pleasure Dome, the town’s charming local hangout.
  • Rock out with your Sims to a Simlish version of Katy Perry’s hit song "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" recorded for the game by Katy Perry.

Price concerns

When the game was announced, several users from The Sims 3 forums had expressed concerns[5][6][7] 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.

Recently, EA has lowered the price of the game to $20, €20[8] and £10.

  • The pack's name is different from other stuff packs' name because its name does not include the word "Stuff".

  • This is the first stuff pack to date in The Sims 3 era to have a delayed release on Steam.
