    Remember that "Redeem Free Simpoints" button that was showing for awhile on the Sims Store Account page? It just appeared on my Store Account again. I got another free 1000 points!
    Remember: Wherever you go...there you are.

    One day, my wishlist turned into Own the Store, and there was no more wishlist. How remarkable.

    I believe it was Tahera that created the museum but I could wrong. I'm on my phone and can't really check.

    Morning! Jodi (@Me1620) I love the idea and will poke thru my bookmarks to see what would be helpful. Definitely Erin's simdex and @frozenorangejuic's compendium. I have used both extensively with building my world. Also consider adding this one as it has some wonderful history of the DD members builds, as well as great hints and tips for newbies learning to build or take pics. http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/701677/dwellings-destinations-designs-a-creation-sharing-thread-formerly-ddsba/p1

    Could add the DD Museum (dedicated to the great DD Stalking Thread). Although I have this museum lot in my game, I can't find the Exchange entry for it any more. Do you remember?

    My memory stinks, so I can't even recall whose lot it is. @ajaxpost @frozenorangejuic @kellycot1 ?

    Proposed New DD Thread

    I would like to propose that we begin a new "Current DD" thread and I would like to offer to host it. This thread is very lengthy. Excellent information is getting lost within the 1000 plus pages or is repeated many times.

    ...

    If no one objects to having a new thread or me hosting, I would like to start the new thread in a few days.
    A most excellent idea Jodi! :star:

    We have gathered so much information over the years it will be great to have it all compiled and organised in a fresh new easy to find and use thread - and you my dear are the ideal person to lead it! **

    I agree with Sandi that a link to some fabulous hints and inspiration would be a wonderful nod to the incredible history of the DD Stalker community - though may I suggest that the TS3 forum version might be better (or added as an alternative) as the new version has lost a lot of the formatting - http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/701677.page

    I do indeed remember it, and even managed to find it again! It was created by @Tahera, I haven't explored it properly but it even as just a museum it is a beautiful build: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8597518


    ** Y'know, I hate to say "I told you so" but, Jodi, do you remember when you first created the Awesome DD Schedule Calculating Spreadsheet and how you baulked at my description:
    The wonderfully organised @Me1620 has taken DD stalking to whole new level of efficiency by creating one of the most useful spreadsheets in the entire history of spreadsheets!

    ... well, I was clearly right! And thank you so much for your continued awesomeness and support of the DD threads when some of us (like me!) have become part-timers.

    So, if there is a helpful thread or database or something somewhere... that tells you where to find items in-game, once you own them, that would be a nice thing to include.

    x_x; I spent the last half an hour looking for Xmas decorations in-game, and failed to find any presents, xmas trees, and only 2 or 3 decorations, even though I KNOW I've installed many more than that. D:

    Thank you Adrian. I will be following in the footsteps of our most excellent past hosts. I will be checking back through my bookmarks to borrow from the threads you hosted.

    Please do look through bookmarks and as Adrian suggests, provide links to both the TS3 forum and the current forum. Don't limit your links to threads. I know there are some informative, and some fun, posts that I feel we may want to link to as well. I know I want to hunt for all those greats songs that DDers have composed.

    @Ktarian - Crinrict S3S browser does have that information. For example, I looked up More Holiday Presents and found "Holiday Tree". I used the search for item function in Crinrict's browser and found that the tree is found in a number of spots in Floor lamps. Floor lamps can be found in various sections Decor - Misc - Floor lamps and in all the various rooms under floor lamps. The in-game buy catalogue is sorted by price, from lowest to highest, of the item in simoleons that the Sims pay. The tree is 395 simoleons. So, in any of the floor lamp sections keep browsing until you get to the lamps costing over 300 simoleons and you should find the tree.

    Happy Holiday Presents has Winter Wall Wreath. From Crinrict's browser, I found it costs 60 simoleons and can be found in Decor - Misc; Bathroom - Accents; Dining Room - Misc decoration; or Nursery - kids decoration.

    Here are the current and upcoming deals for the next 25 hours. There are no green deals in this section of the spreadsheet, but there are quite a few white (once-on-the-rotation) deals. If you look at the "Part of" listing under each deal here you can see if it is a set you are working towards. Some of the yellow (medium-discount) deals aren't too bad either, so you may be able to snag a green download button if your CYS is high enough on a particular set. Happy Shopping!

    Hey everybody! I've been really busy with school and had some health problems that have taken away all my simming time so it's been a while since I've been around. I didn't play at all for like two months! :worried: And haven't checked the forums either. Congrats to anyone who has joined the Own the Store Club in my absence.

    I think the new thread is a great idea, and thanks for including my compendium.

    I own the When Worlds Collide collection, which has all the items from A Mid-Century Modern Trailblazer set - which in turn has the Mid-Century Modern Bedroom, MCM Bathroom, and the MCM Bed and Bath set (which in turn has all the items from the Bedroom and Bathroom sets) - and The Final Frontier set in which is nested the Futureshock Loft Collection and the Not So Routine Machine PC item. I'm noticing an oddity and I'm wondering if anyone else has this happen, and if so what did you do (if anything) to fix it.

    So when I go to the set pages, I have the individual download button for all these sets:
    • When Worlds Collide
    • The Final Frontier
    • The Futureshock Loft
    • The Not So Routine Machine
    • A Mid-Century Modern Trailblazer

    But when I go to the set pages for Mid-Century Modern Bedroom, Mid-Century Modern Bathroom, or Mid-Century Modern Bed and Bath Set, I don't have the download button. The store doesn't register that I own the Bathroom set, which I found out by noticing that on the Weekly Sales the bathroom (which is on sale right now) doesn't show that I own it. So no green download button; instead I get a green "buy me" button.

    Does anyone know of a tip or trick that will fix this issue?

    Hi guys!

    Since The Sims 3 store won't be open forever, is there a way I can save my items in a folder of some sort so I can have it forever for when the store does close?

    Thank you! <3

    Thank you! <3

    Yes, you can back up your store downloads to a disk or flash drive or whatever so you don't have to redownload them. I've backed mine up to a dvd. Then you can just add what you want back to your game from you back up.
    I own the When Worlds Collide collection, which has all the items from A Mid-Century Modern Trailblazer set - which in turn has the Mid-Century Modern Bedroom, MCM Bathroom, and the MCM Bed and Bath set (which in turn has all the items from the Bedroom and Bathroom sets) - and The Final Frontier set in which is nested the Futureshock Loft Collection and the Not So Routine Machine PC item. I'm noticing an oddity and I'm wondering if anyone else has this happen, and if so what did you do (if anything) to fix it.

    So when I go to the set pages, I have the individual download button for all these sets:
    • When Worlds Collide
    • The Final Frontier
    • The Futureshock Loft
    • The Not So Routine Machine
    • A Mid-Century Modern Trailblazer

    But when I go to the set pages for Mid-Century Modern Bedroom, Mid-Century Modern Bathroom, or Mid-Century Modern Bed and Bath Set, I don't have the download button. The store doesn't register that I own the Bathroom set, which I found out by noticing that on the Weekly Sales the bathroom (which is on sale right now) doesn't show that I own it. So no green download button; instead I get a green "buy me" button.

    Does anyone know of a tip or trick that will fix this issue?

    I think I know what you are talking about. When Worlds Collide is not CYS enabled. Even if you own everything from the set, you won't have a download button for the set unless you buy it. You would be buying everything twice if you decided to buy the set. Costumer service might fix it for you.

    Thank you! I'll try to contact them tomorrow and find out. I didn't want to have to buy the set twice... seemed like a total waste to me.

    I'm afraid so. The items you don't already have downloaded, you'll lose when the store closes if I'm not mistaken.
