As a bit of an update to puzzlezaddict's findings, I have since found that another change in the CYS discount (from 80% to 70%) happens when you own at least 75% of the set. In Merelhyn's thread, I posted my early data pointing to this: This topic has made me curious what my CYS tools say the "CYS for free" should be for…

Seems like the deal times continue to change. At some point over the last ~5 days the start time changed to 13 minutes after the hour.
-
Looks like the deal times have changed again, now starting at 44 minutes after the hour.
-
@texansky I wasn't saying that I couldn't find those items in the Store. In fact, I already own almost all of them besides the Goodies. I was merely pointing out that they don't seem to show up in MMaO's offerings.
-
Congrats! Thanks for the gift! Besides helping with my CYS, it gave me a reason to actually visit the Store for the first time in weeks. Yeah, I've noticed the absence of a number of items from MMaO's offerings: - My Page Goodies - non-SP Worlds: RH, DV, MV - non-PC items from Venues and Worlds (Buccaneer's Bounty seems to…

Happy (early) Thanksgiving! I'm still lurking too, and still stalking a number of deals. Currently working on grabbing all the venues I'm missing from the rotation, which is now down to the Casino, Grim's Manor, and Last Venue of Amore. Still quite a few sets and individual items I'm working towards. Definitely going to…

MMaO just offered me Lucky Palms standard again, and after a bit of research I decided the deal was worth it this time. Said research actually led to a useful piece of trivia: Just like angeljess26 pointed out with Sunlit Tides Gold, it works out cheaper to buy Lucky Palms standard (full price or through MMaO) + Lucky…
-
Funny enough I was offered Lucky Palms standard for my last deal of the day when I checked earlier, and I'm currently hunting the Learning Center (or Aurora Skies Gold, whichever comes up at a good enough price first). In the meantime I'll be stalking the venues (and a number of the sets) I'm missing from the DD rotation.
-
Unfortunately everything you said is correct: 1. The Golden Ticket Toy Shop venue is only available through Midnight Hollow Gold 2. Midnight Hollow Gold is only available either through a direct full price purchase @ 3524 SP or randomly through MMaO at a random discount
-
Just finished checking my MMaO deals for the day and spent a ton of SP to get a few things off my "own the Store" list, including 2 of my most wanted items: Midnight Hollow Gold and Fifth Avenue Fashions. Unfortunately today's purchases have now made my current DD plans slightly over-budget for my remaining SP.
-
@CardmanOfficial I remember this discrepancy coming up when I read through that thread a few months ago. Apparently this was noticed as early as March 18, 2015. You can either pay the 155 SP to finish the compilation in one go, or you can work on grabbing some Boho Vintage Men's items to bring that down some more. As for…
-
I passed 2 milestones this week in my Store stalking: 1. I own >800 of the 977 deals in the DD Rotation 2. My CYS formula has proven to be able to successfully match the Store's results for >1200 cases! I've made a new public spreadsheet to share my CYS data so far (for those curious about the calculations).
-
Green download buttons are fun. I also claimed one earlier today: Faire Folk Furnishings + Attire. Now to wait for Make a Wish to come around on DD #853 so I can claim that green download too.
-
Good luck in catching those deals. My DD watch list is currently down to 24 targets (9 items and 15 sets/compilations) with the only badly timed ones being: - #64 Boho Vintage Women's Collection (which I've missed the last 2 times around) on July 3 @ 4am - #88 Resonant Ice Receptacle on July 5 @ 3am - #136 Athena's Olive…
-
@fantuanss Sorry to hear you missed Romanza. With my grabbing it earlier, the only wedding themed set I'm missing now is Live, Laugh, Love. Now to wait for MMaO to slowly provide me with items from it to lower my CYS... maybe (lately the Machine seems convinced I want Palace of Versailles and Tutor of Tudors). @Vivid I…
-
@Vivid I made a calculator spreadsheet precisely to help people figure out the best way to approach buying a CYS enabled set. If you would still like to try to understand the working of CYS then... 1. For your first question I'll just quote a bit from the first page of this thread: 2. The CYS calculation always uses the…

Well, I bought Sims 3 on Steam a few days ago. Today I registered all my new EPs and SPs and started the long task of re-downloading all my Store content. Once that's done it'll be on to installing (or reinstalling) everything.
-
@jojie4 Thanks for the tip! Just checked the world page and I have a blue Download button. So that saves me from spending another $10. I checked the page for the Buccaneer's Bounty set as well (since it's mentioned as included with Barnacle Bay) but I don't have a green or blue download button there. Maybe after I download…
-
I bought the Worlds Bundle the other night on the EA Publisher sale that's going on atm so I'll have 2 more worlds to explore the next time I delve into my game. I also have to look into getting EA to credit me with owning the Le Cirque Celebration version of the Chocolate Fountain since it wasn't automatically given to me…
-
I'm also waiting on various deals to come up. Over the past month I've grabbed 28 DDs... and missed grabbing another 8. I still have over 30 items and sets on my list of "DDs to buy" at the moment, though a few of those sets I'm hoping to make cheaper with some MMaO purchases. So I've got plenty of stalking to keep me busy…
-
I hate me from 3 months ago for not paying attention to the time and missing Boho Vintage Women's Collection on DD #64. I had no excuse for missing it then because it was in the middle of the day and I wasn't scheduled for work until after the deal was done. I missed it this morning by 20 mins so I have to try next…
-
Earlier today I finished a packed 2-3 days of DD buying (9 deals totaling 716 SP). At least I managed to grab all the items I was after, despite a few being at tricky times for me. MMaO continues to be annoying. Lately it is adamant that I should buy Palace of Versailles, but because DD #213 is such a big discount I almost…
-
Yeah, that's a problem with the Store not properly linking some items. Despite buying Sunlit Tides and Serenity Retreat off of the DD rotation I still see Sunlit Tides Gold show up in MMaO every once in a while, and I've heard that the Aims Co. Choc-O-Falls Fountain from Monte Vista is not properly linked to the one in Le…

@Faoiltearna The main multi-timezone spreadsheet lists deal times for the rest of rotation 38 as well as all of rotation 39. It sounds like you're using one of the single timezone spreadsheets that aren't updated very often. Let @Me1620 know which one you're using and hopefully it can be updated soon.
-
Hopefully you can knock these out without too much trouble. As for deals, Merelhyn's "Cheapest ways to own" thread is a great resource for planning which purchases to make. Lately I've been rechecking these recommendations to see if I can find any improvements, and I have uploading my findings (improved or not) on my…
-
Just tried opening Origin to check if maybe there was a Sims 3 sale going on (I still want/need the Worlds Bundle and a few EPs) and it forced me to download and use the new EA app. Haven't tried running S3 yet though as I'll want to install my recent purchases when I next play and don't feel like doing that tonight.
-
Sorry to hear that. Hope you can get it playable again soon. Congrats on finishing May 2012. I haven't gotten around to checking Merelhyn's path for Oh My Goth yet, but that CYS price looks like May 2012 may likely be a part of the cheapest path. I would like to caution you about indiscriminately grabbing any DD that looks…
-
There is! Check out my Savings Tools spreadsheet (link in my signature, on the first page of this thread, and in the DD spreadsheet) for a MMaO checker and a CYS Calculator.
-
I was actually going to make a post about my purchase of DD #418 too. Before I get to my story, I'll answer your question: Ragtime going on sale will not affect the price of January 2013. The cheapest way for you to finish the compilation if you already own Lullabies is actually to go for Ragtime instead, although the…
-
Yeah, MMaO does seem to like offering a few of the same items over and over. For me that has been stuff from Date Night, Loud, Fast, Clash!, and Through the Spy Glass. As of this week I own Date Night so that won't be showing up anymore (until the Store bugs out again and offers items I already own). As for the others, I'm…
Howdy, Stranger!
