Hey guys,I will be reviewing the recent addition to The Sims 3 Store:. This particular venue set was released on November 15th, 2012.Included in this review also is a link to the Collection File of the Greenhouse found below:thing to note is that all the items in this venue are not for individual sale, and in order to get any of them, you MUST buy the entire venue set.The Venue is priced at 1700/1900 Simpoints on sale until 1/01/2013. Sadly the discount seems like it's not a good deal, so in the later part of the review, I hope it is worth it.This venue set comes with 32 items, which includes: 2 Premium Content Items, 10 CAS Clothing, and 4 new Glass Roof Sculpture pieces.
The size of the lot is 40x30 so it should fit in many worlds without any issues! Below are the pictures of everything of the lot place in Moonlight Falls.
Design: 8/10- I love how detailed some of the objects are, including the wonderful stencils they added to a whole bunch of. Plus, I love the overall design of the lot itself along with the addition of the glass roof pieces. The store team did very well in introducing a 'staged' Greenhouse and with or without the premium content, it would just 'LOOK' like one, not be an actual one. There are some issues though with the glass decor objects.
With Season and snow, it seems like even if you place the roof decorations on top, snow will go through. However, you have to go through twists and turns to make it so snow does not show up, which can be a pain to deal with and difficult to do if players do not know how these roof decor work.Thankfully, I was able to make enough adjustments so the inside of the building is not covered in snow. Premium Content: 8/10- While I do enjoy the Premium Content objects, I do feel like the Plants vs Zombies Sunflower isn't worth the 500 simpoints should it come out for individual sale. Sure I enjoy some nice music, sunlight, and dancing with it, but that's all it will do. 300 simpoints does sound about right for this sunflower, but it's already out.
I do enjoy the nice addition with the gardening station, it has everything a gardener needs into one object. While it may be big, it will help fertilize, water, and help your plants grow. I even LOVE the megaphone addition when talking to plants. AnonymousDesign should be 0/10. The premium part of premium content works: the sunflower is really cute and the gardening station works as well.The design part is flawed: the greenhouse parts don't work as expected. In order to keep out snow and rain we have to go to such extents cheating it's not even worth it.
There are free greenhouses made by fans that work exactly like this one: you.fake. a greenhouse.

The difference is we don't have to pay almost $20 for them.It is inexcusable that EA released this set without prior testing. Absolutely nothing justify it. I wouldn't call it a 0/10. The Stencils of the items were awesome. The Roof Pieces are 4 objects, out of the 32 objects that came with the Venue.Ya the lot has issue, and the Roof Pieces are 'Roof Decor' rather than actual roofs, but it doesn't definitely deserve a 0/10. I'm sure other players would probably give it a 5/10 or 6/10, but for me the roof pieces were not my main draw, the other content was, especially the Premium Content.I had gave it a 10/10 before I changed it to a 8/10 because I did not really decide to put the Greenhouse under the snow, because it was aesthetically pleasing to me without Seasons.
Once I had put in Snow, I was disappointed, but not angry about the greenhouse roofs.I wouldn't call it cheating, because I created a workaround without using Cheats or a Mod, so it's possible;)Hope that understands. AnonymousAlthough this is a good venue, I still feel it's way too expensive for something that doesn't even fully function as a greenhouse. It should have been made for the seasons, as that is a big part of greenhouses. The premium content is awesome, especially that gardening station.
It just feels like EA's trying to suck everything out of us, for something that wasn't completely filled out, right after we just spent money on another expansion pack. I love it, just too much at this price, even with all the items and premium content (they used to give us so much more like this with expansions, really try hard to give us great stuff, now it's all about the store, which I like, but they use it more as a weapon than a tool sometimes) But great review, very informative and helpful, as well as pretty un-biased:). Hi Anonymous,Most of the Store Content as a whole is pretty aesthetic, and if anything everything will be overpriced, and I'm sure you aren't the only one who thinks this isn't worth your money.If you aren't a fan of the clothing or the decor that comes with it, and only the greenhouse roofs, then I can see the issue being there. Sadly, I'm a builder so I use anything I can with a lot of the build/buy objects that come in the store.The Gurus are currently working on a fix which we should hopefully get sometime later next week and if anything, there will most likely be a sale of this particular one in the near future.
Sims 3 plants inside greenhouseThe Stone’s Throw Greenhouse introduced a whole new type of building into the Sims 3 – or so we thought. With glass roofs shaped with Edwardian charm and series of windows open ever so slightly ajar to let a little bit of a breeze into the place, it seemed that simmers playing with the Sims 3 Seasons pack would have a place to put their precious plants so that they wouldn’t go dormant over fall and winter.How To Put Plants In GreenhousesIf you build your own greenhouse using the pieces included in the Stone’s Throw Greenhouse set, you’ll notice that you get an error message when you try to put those plants inside the greenhouse. ‘Must be outside’. There are a couple of ways to get your plants inside. The first is to delete a wall of your greenhouse and move your plants in manually. This will work for existing plants, and you can simply put the wall up later.
This will not work for new plants, your sims still won’t be able to plant new plants inside the greenhouse once you put the wall back up. The other option is to use cheats (ctrl + shift + c) and type moveObjects on.This will allow your sims to plant plants inside your greenhouse, but may lead to general weirdness in your game if you enable this option long term.How To Buy Sims 3 PlantersThe third option is to buy planters (they look like large ceramic dishes, and can be found in the DECORATIONS PLANTS menu of the ‘Buy Mode’. When you use a planter, you can plant plants ‘inside’ so that bypasses the entire issue. It also means that you have a greenhouse full of planters.Where To Find Greenhouse Roof PiecesIf you’re struggling to build your greenhouse at all, greenhouse roof pieces can be found in the DECOR ROOF DECORATIONS section of the buy mode. Note that you will need to put a flat roof on top of your greenhouse before you put the roof decorations on, the roof will turn clear and allow you to see through, and the plants inside will be protected from the cold.
