    lucky dice @robovegan


    every one if you as nominator/confirmer or when makeing thank you posts or question posts ectra. wants a chanc in the dice, pleace have a link to you mypage or studio or wishlist in your siggy, so I know it is you......

    that way I often gift BOTH that are in the post I roll

    and I roll like this:
    1) page number
    2) post number

    skipping any post by me or that have no sims3 link in it......
    + ofcourse any lists that have gone messy (but that I often tell)


    this time I rolled the post that nominated robovegan, but the nominator ( @ANNAPTX ) had no link in her siggy
    rol was page 28 post 8

    I think that @owlcityfan4eva has a clean wish list. There aren't any sets in their list at all. :smile:http://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=owlcityfan4eva#

    I do not have a wishlist as I now officially own the store. I have a thank you thread. Here is my Sims 3 page. My top 5 list can be found here (it is empty).

    I don't know if this will help anyone, but it's instructions I wrote for a friend to make her wishlist squeaky clean. I've noticed a few new people on lately and thought this might help others also.


    First, take off everything except individual items, worlds, and venues.

    What I've found is that sometimes you remove items and it won't save if your wishlist is big. So, I usually try removing 1 or 2 items and then refreshing the page. If it doesn't save, most likely it's because your cache needs to be refreshed.

    -->There are instructions here: http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/ on how to refresh the cache on each browser type. Just follow the steps, then try removing items from your wishlist again.<--

    Now go down the world list and add any you don't own. Make sure you add Midnight Hollow Gold because you can't buy the toy shop yet. Make sure you don't add Aurora Skies Gold (add the regular version) because they hiked the price up for the gold.

    You want all the worlds because there are people who enjoy gifting worlds and they look for them on your list. I also recommend choosing the world you want the most and moving it into your top 10 items, and move the rest down to the end of the page.

    For the rest, remember that the goal is to not have any duplicates, and for items that show up on the DD, to try to have just enough on your list that when it appears, you'll get the green button (meaning that the set is free). @anettesb pointed out that some venues have their main item for sale as premium content, so it may be easier to start by going through the premium content list and then add in any other venues (an example to be careful of is the greenhouse). Either way works, as long as you remember the main goal - nothing on your wishlist is duplicated somewhere else.

    Now we're going to do the venues. Again, go down the list and add any that you don't own AND aren't part of any world where you've asked for gold. If you took my advice about Aurora Skies, then the only one to be careful of is Serenity Retreat (goes with Sunlit Tides).

    Now choose a venue you really want and put it in your top 10, then move the rest to the end of your list.

    I recommend moving one and refreshing the page, just to make sure that you don't need to refresh the cache again.

    Okay, now your list should look something like this:

    item
    item
    item
    venue
    world
    item
    "
    "
    venues
    worlds

    It's clean now as long as there are no sets on it, but there's still a bit more we can do to make you smile when you see it.

    If you removed all the sets earlier, go to Premium Content. Ignore all the content that belongs to a world or venue, but add any other items you don't own. These are the items that will drive your sets down. Again, choose one or two that you really want and move the rest down.

    Finally, let's create a top 10 list. What are the top 10 items you want? Move them to the top of the list. I would always try to include different price ranges, so I'd have a couple of the cheapest items on my list (by the way, many of those are the best items in the game for decorating), then outfits, then hair styles or furniture, maybe a couple pieces of premium content, and the venue I most wanted, then the world I wanted.

    Okay, that's the easy part. :) Nah, we're about done and your list is looking pretty shiny. :)

    There's really only 1 last step and I was never the best at it, but if you want, you can reorganize everything that comes after your top 10 in order of price. For me, the only items I worried about having in any real kind of order were my top list (it's the first thing people see when they look at your list), and having the premium content, venues, and then worlds at the end of the list except for the three or four items in your top 10 list.

    And now, just for fun, let's take a look at sets. There are 2 times you might consider adding a set to your list - if you don't own any of the items and if the set isn't eligible for CYS. Actually, I'd recommend only adding it for the second reason, most of us will gift when we have points, and whole sets don't leave many choices.

    If you do add a set, make sure that no individual items from the set are hidden on your list (I recommend never adding the costume set since it doesn't even show all the sets that the items belong to, so it takes some work to double check).

    That's it. Your list is shiny and clean AND you have all the items that make you grin from ear to ear on the list.

    Part 2

    (Part 1 is here)
    As you organize your list and sort your top 10 items, you'll probably find that there's a set or two that you really want.

    I'm sure that you've heard of @LadybugLeslie's Cascades thread. It can get overwhelming trying to find all the best ways to get the best price on sets, so what I would do is figure out a set or two that I really wanted to finish (which pieces do you have the most from on your top 10 list?) and/or check the DD spreadsheet (here's the simplified version), and then when I did that, I'd start searching Google for the set name + CYS (for instance, Sims 3 Fabulous Fiesta CYS), and check any links that sounded interesting.

    For the spreadsheet, the easy way to use it is just go to the second page and see what's coming up.

    For example, Man Cave will be at its best price
    Now & Then at its most expensive
    Loitering Luggage is on for the only time, but it has no discount
    Le Cirque is at its best price
    Plant Pocket will give you a piece of mid-century dining if you don't have it (it seems like a weird set, but it's awesome!)
    Electro Dance top is at its most expensive, but it's still 63% off (down to 28), so if you're working on the set, it might be worth it.


    Red means that the item costs the most this time, although it might still be worth considering.
    Yellow means that the item is on the list at least 3 times and this isn't the cheapest or most expensive.
    Green means it's the best price you're going to get.
    No color means that this is the only time it's on the list, so you're stuck with this discount unless it comes up on the weekly sales sheet or MMAO.

    If there's a set you're wondering about, just ask. I'll try to help (I'm good at researching things), and many others are awesome about helping with cascades. :)

    Finally, when I was creating my list, I usually would open up my calculator and if I owned part of the set, I would put in the cys price and divide by .9. Now subtract items from that total as you add them to your wishlist. When you get to 0, stop adding items - if you are only gifted the items and it's never on the DD to complete, you've just added enough items that you should get the green button if everything was gifted to you. That equation is a bit different if you are choosing a set where you don't own anything - the first item drops the price by 10%, which is why it's always best to buy the cheapest item in a set first before you buy the set, even if it's on the DD - after the first piece of the set, follow the instructions above to reach 0 and the green button. :)

    The date for each post is a link to that post, if that helps. Right click on the date and select "Save Link As" to save it, and "Copy Link Location" to copy to your clipboard to share it. I hope this helps. :)

    I just realized what you were asking.

    Here is the link for this page: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/831392/i-spott-a-squeaky-clean-wish-list-nomination-game/p30

    Copy that link, then instead of 30, put 19, so the link would look like: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/831392/i-spott-a-squeaky-clean-wish-list-nomination-game/p19. That will jump you to any page you want to go to.

    Woops, I didn't realise that I had both of them on my wishlist. Thanks for pointing that out, and thanks for the nomination, though, @EvaKouk.

    I cleaned my wishlist.

    @Teegers they still ned to be award that some item from venues ARE sold alene.

    So I would go the other way, after deleting all, then first ad big sets and worlds and venues, then chose 1 set to split (make sure it is cys enabled), ad about 50% of the single items

    Becouse If not very carefull and already clean the other way almost 100% will make it messy
