  • I hate to start out this way once again, but I severely sprained my right shoulder Friday morning. Ironically it happened while playing The Sims 3. I stood up after a ~2 hour play session and *bam*, something random and horrifying had happened to me. I'm slowly recovering, but this stinks and using a PC is very difficult…
  • @Angie1301 Hi! Nice to hear from someone who's been around here for that long :smile: What were gifting wars? I only got into gifting once I ended up with Points to gift away. Is your Wishlist in order? Just want to make sure before I send anything your way. Sorry for the delay here. I've had a rough month. Happy Simming!…
  • @FrusturatedUser First off, :smiley: Glad you got it to work! Hopefully you can do so again! Also really glad you liked that hairstyle in-game :smile: Even with the better previews, it's not always easy to tell. My go-to browser for the Store has been Microsoft Edge for quite some time, but it wouldn't work. Firefox works,…
  • @FrusturatedUser Glad I could be of help! Sorry to hear you've been burned too. I think just about all of us have been at one time or another. Those "Previews" on The Store need some serious help. I was so stoked back when I found those sites :smiley: . But that was before I went crazy and just bought everything :lol: .…
  • Hello again everyone :smile: I'm thankfully feeling a bit better tonight and wanted to try my hand at moving this thread along by replying to the people I haven't yet. I also wanted to start out by posting some links that I found invaluable when it came to my purchases from the Store. They answer the basic question of…
  • It seems like the universe will stop at nothing when it comes to me, this thread and The Sims in general. I have covid :( I'm thankfully getting better, but I became incredibly ill, incredibly suddenly (it's scary how sick I got in the course of one day and how many symptoms appeared). Last Thursday/Friday were truly…
  • @xbonusmodex Here's the link: https://store.thesims3.com/dsa.html You can find that specific term under Section 10. "If your EA Account has a SimPoints balance which has not changed for twenty-four (24) months or more, your SimPoints will expire and your account may be cancelled for non-use." I suppose it does say "Or…
  • @xbonusmodex Yeah, it's incredibly stupid. I ended up losing thousands of points when I stopped playing TS3 back in 2013 for quite a long time. There's no reason that they should expire; it's not like having them sit in an account costs EA anything. Thanks for all the kind words! I hope your new year is going fantastic!…
  • Well, here it is finally. So late that half of what I've written and am replying to is probably no longer relevant :lol: Sorry again! Better late than never though :smile: @Palgoons Cool to hear that you've been playing for quite some time :smile: What Expansions do you have so far? @pinkrobin Glad to hear you had a good…
  • Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I'm so sorry everyone. I don't know where the time has gone. I didn't even realize that I didn't come here on Christmas until just now... :( I've been sleeping too much because my neck hurts (though it's slowly getting better) and my days have just been short and flying by…
  • Thanks @pinkrobin :smile: After three PT appointments, I'm starting to do a bit better. This injury turned out to be as bad as I feared when it happened, which is to say the worst I've suffered in a couple of years. I'm at least back to being able to (mostly) move my head around and all that, but I'm spacey and tired all…
  • Sorry to everyone for disappearing this long. I've injured my neck and upper spine pretty severely. I have replies I've been working on and thankfully see my physical therapist tomorrow. Hope to be back ASAP :smile:
  • Happy Thanksgiving everyone! :smiley: Sorry I've disappeared, but the last week has been crazy. I have numerous things I have to get done in the next couple of days and have plans Saturday (which I'm incredibly nervous about :lol: ), so there's a decent chance I won't be back around here until next week. Hope you all have…
  • @bookwormbeauty I've grown to hate social media. It's too anti-social :lol: . I only recently joined Reddit and Quora and that was just out of boredom one day. They can be interesting at times and I figured that people had answered a ton of questions for me already over the years on those sites, so maybe I could give back…
  • @SamelaRita Yes, unfortunately I'm "Symb10sis" everywhere on here. It works I guess (I like the "Sym" part), but my ex (who's been gone a long time) was the one who came up with it and now I'm stuck forever :lol: Awesome to hear you're interested in the penpal idea! :smiley: I'll send you a PM (or you can send me one) in…
  • @SamelaRita Your first sentence was just too kind :heart: . Thank you! The best thing you can give is friendship :smile: . I have almost no real life friends left, but have a couple of penpals from this forum (this thread actually lol) and am always looking for more. Provided that people understand I may go long periods…
  • @bookwormbeauty Hi :smile: Yes, I'm still totally open to gifting. Nearly everyone seems to have vanished (though I'm still trying behind the scenes when I have time/energy), so this didn't work out quite as I'd hoped when I posted last week. It probably doesn't help that at some point over the last year, EA decided to…
  • Both are microtransactions. Microtransactions have been slowly ruining gaming for around 15 years now. Neither should have ever existed because it doesn't cost that much to make such small amounts of content. Imagine if you had to pay for every chair, hairstyle and lamp in a game like Skyrim. Just ridiculous money-grubbing…
  • Hello Simmers! :smiley: I can't believe this has happened. I'm absolutely mortified that I abandoned this for so long. I started this thread over a year and a half ago :anguished: . Then I disappeared mostly. Then I came back and disappeared again. I just read my last post here for the first time in a year and almost died…
  • Hello Everyone! I hate to start off this way, but I only have a minute right now as I'm getting ready to eat and then leave. I just wanted to come on here and at least let you all know that I'm INCREDIBLY SORRY for taking this long and for disappearing :( . Also to let you know I'm still alive! Short version: A series of…
  • Hello everyone, My sincere apologies for dragging this on even longer. The only upside I can think of is that we're discussing a game that's almost 11 years old and hopefully isn't going anywhere any time soon. :smiley: I was working diligently on writing up replies to everyone, but, well, the universe hates me…
  • @Sally_ Thanks! I just tried to check and I think I missed sending you a message. Sorry for that and for the delays. Don't worry about it though, you'll be getting something(s) once I'm feeling up to doing all this :smile: @Koolkat197 Thanks so much for the kind words! :smile: :heart: This really stinks. I likely partially…
  • Hello all! I just wanted to take a minute here to let everyone know that this is still happening! I severely sprained my left rotator cuff near the end of April and it's taking everything I have just to survive and take care of myself. I live alone and have no one whatsoever to help me in any way :( I'm slowly doing better…
  • @Brandontaylor Nope. You're already late. :lol:
  • Hello everyone, I disappeared! I do that sometimes! Sincere apologies! I honestly didn’t realize that this much time had passed since I was last here. :hushed: I’ve begun giving out gifts to people in no particular order. If I sent you a gift, then I also sent you a short private message and would greatly appreciate a…
  • OH! And I'm totally bummed that not a single person danced a jig :( Or even lied and said that they did. It was in the first posts here people! Gotta pay attention if you want the Goods. :smiley: Maybe I'll just buy myself a Gold version of a World that I already own the world and associated Venue to, like Sunlit Tides or…
  • Hello all! Just wanted to take a minute and let everyone know that I'm working out the math on how to distribute these points as best as I can. I don't want to bring negativity to such a place as this, but I had a personal crisis the past couple of days which has just now thankfully resolved. I'm so relieved that I learned…
  • Oh! This is way off-topic, but in case anyone hasn't seen these before, please check out these threads on how to own entire sets/compilations (and even The Store) for pretty darn cheap! Following all of this allowed me to own it all for FAR less than I ever thought possible! Daily Deal Rotation and More Information than…
  • Hello all again! Yes, I still have (almost all) of the SimPoints! And yes, the Gifts are still coming very soon! I finally managed to find EA's policy on SimPoint expiration and it turns out that I (hopefully) panicked over nothing. It turns out that Points only expire if the balance hasn't changed for 2 years, so I should…
  • This is scary! I just tried gifting @crocobaura the Crystal Ball (tomorrow came early for one gift, lol) and the Store malfunctioned. I hit "Submit" and it seemed like it was gonna do something, but then took me to a blank page instead. Gifting failed. :( I tried 3 times. I still have my points, thankfully. If anyone knows…
