Designer Alan Copeland took some time to write about his thoughts on the brand new venue: The Al Fresco Street Market.
The Sims 3 Monte Vista has been a favorite of mine since I saw the first piece of concept art. So it should come as no surprise that I’d been equally excited about a venue that ties into such a beautiful, vibrant world. Additionally, with the high quality harvests that your Sims can get with the SwiftGro Gardening Station and Plants VS. Zombies Sunflower, we wanted to give players something special that ties into that as well. So I’m very proud to introduce you to the Al Fresco Street Market, featuring the Humble Harvest Fruit, the Veggie Stand and returning favorite, the Lemonade Stand!

Have you seen the price? $20 for Monte Vista and $17 for this set. Of course, the premium content isn’t sold separately.
So not content with leaving items out of Expansion Packs so they can sell them on the Store, they are now doing it with Store Content itself! This so should have been a part of Monte Vista as standard!
Why do people buy this stuff? I thought people were finding money tight these days? Obviously not!
I kind of like the idea that it was out of Monte Vista, since it made the world cheaper than others. But I agree, it would have been nice if it was all included for that price – more people would buy then!
