THE MAINTENANCE IS NOW COMPLETE.
Hey Simmers

Wednesday, 24th May 2017 at
9 AM Pacific / 12 PM (NOON) Eastern / 5 PM UK we will be putting The Sims 3 into maintenance.
The maintenance means that TheSims3.com including My Page and The Exchange will be unavailable, and the Store will have limited availability during the maintenance, The Sims 3 itself will still be playable.
We hope to bring The Sims 3 services back online as quickly as possible. Please monitor this thread for official status updates.

I know you said that the store will have "limited availability", but I'd like to know in advance: what are the chances that I'll be able to buy those items? Will I have to wait until the next rotation for those items to come up again?
Thanks,

I imagine they have to suspend the site eventually. The only necessity would be the store, which can continue to generate money for EA. I don't know if that is what is planned, but TS3 forums were undergoing maintenance during the switch that ultimately moved the forums here.
Sounds like they are doing maintenance on the site, not updates on the game. Sorry, I don't think anything will happen with that.
But if you search the forums you'll find some tips that make Isla more playable with fewer problems. The most common being using custom worlds that reduce the number of dive sites and houseboats to reduce the strain on your computer and avoid the routing issues in the EA town/world. I have a pretty powerful system and I managed to get the game to run stock by deleting all houseboats as soon as I started the game with the exception of the one I lived on. UNTIL my Sim actually started making friends and meeting co-workers and stuff like that. I finally moved him to Sunlit Tides for a similar feel. I haven't gotten around to finding an alternate place to explore the extra play that Island Paradise introduced, but that's because of the way I'm playing my current legacy family. I did love the experience of diving, even though as a beginner he couldn't do much.
I own the store as of 1+7/17/17

By the way, I really appreciate that something is still being done about Sims 3. Even if it's not a game update (I have TS3 on Steam so I wouldn't benefit anyways) I still like it when there is something new. I wonder what's happening with the site now?
