    @Franny - Agreed. I think EA has cut down on the number/size of the servers they are using to run the Sims 3 Store and this website. Also, there seems to be less and less involvement, as time goes by, of any EA employees (by any name or title) managing and updating this website. So, there we are... now, we even have a few disappearing posts when we go to edit a post. :anguished::heartbreak:

    @Assirk - Continuing on the same topic... I think many of the ads may have run their course (contractual commitment) and I am hoping the "EA salesman" will end his coffee break and start promoting the advertising space again/more. I am seeing very few ads now, too. It took an hour yesterday for me to earn 70 SimPoints. At that rate, well, there's simply better and more productive ways for me to spend my time. :s

    I am glad you got the set, though, and I was happy to help out along with my chocolate buddy, @charlotteprice. I want to add that, in this climate of precious, few ads and a slow website, I appreciate those of you who make every effort to grab that Daily Deal especially when you have requested items for it. Thank you so much for respecting the time we give to collecting SimPoints!

    It was so much easier to just buy them! LOL.

    This makes me sad! :'( The Sims 3 needs some lovin', too!

    I have thought about just buying SP no lie. :D I think a lot of people do.

    These past few days have been wonderful! Thank you to everyone for your kindness and generosity. <3

    Today I would like to thank @Sookie_54 for the cute Bearly On Time Clock. I love it! <3

    Thank you as well; to sweet @charlotteprice, for the Moon Rabbit Pajamas and the Little Slugger Pajamas! They are adorable! <3

    Finally, thank you to @Cabelle1863, for the Choo Choo Pajamas and the Draw String Gown! Can't wait to try them out in game! Oh, and stay safe in the snow! <3

    ETA: @Franny, I actually did buy enough points to get @djsdragongirl a couple of things.

    I bought points a few times this season. Got my Mystery Bag dragon mirror that I was coveting, and pumped up my gifting points a bit.

    @Franny et al, it is sad but I'm not buying any SimPoints. I quit buying them when EA discontinued our ability to gift items/sets on the Daily Deal. That was nearly three years ago and because I made the decision based upon a principle, I see no reason to change what I'm doing. When the ads program started running, I waited six months before I started watching the ads, as they were scarce and the original 50 points per day limit was not worth the trouble to me. Things changed to improve our ability to collect SimPoints but EA never changed their gifting rule. It is what it is and I prefer to use my money elsewhere. :|

    When the ads flow easily, there's a lot of gifting around here. When the ads slow down to a trickle, well... I think brighter days are still to come. We've had several times when the ads were scarce. Hopefully, the website (and the Sims 3 Store website) get some attention soon. They need it!

    @Martje89 you're welcome for the gift. Once you get to store ownage you still end up stalking the DD just the forum instead.
    As of April 24th 2015 I joined the own the store club. Thank you to those who helped in my journey.
