Welcome to the Mid February 2013 Daily Deals Rotation List! CLOSED: ROTATION ENDED 25 MARCH see New thread(check second post for in game sales not listed on the sale pages) How does the DD rotation list work?
All items on the list appear in the store's Daily Deal page in numerical order for an hour unless otherwise stated. When the last item has appeared, it repeats some or all of the list starting at #1(though it may start further down on the list).
This list started on 20 February. ROTATION STARTED 16 MARCH and ended 25 March. This list did NOT make a full rotation..
Previous lists have repeated several times, some did not repeat at all, some repeated but didn't get quite to the end of the list, and others have started in the middle of the list. There's no guarantee that this one will work in the same way as any other list. It's also a good way to keep track of what sales prices have been, so you can budget those valuable Sim Points wisely. If you're patient, you can usually find something on sale and it's a good idea to know what price range a particular item has gone for in times past.
When shopping for the DD, make sure to keep these threads in mind as well as they can help you decide, budget and priortize:
Free Items: Just to note, see something free, pick it up. It may not stay free for very long or may even be "vaulted". Check this list often as things can change often.
Items not in Set: This is a list of store items that don't come in a set. It also includes info about items that you can only get from sets.
This list started on 20 February. The rotation of the list started with Number 1 on the list on 16 March. Please see the Old DD list that started on 18 January.Legend:

This post will list all the current sale items that are not listed on the main Sale! page but are 'in game' only This portion of the thread is the hardest to keep up as what shows up for sale is dependent on what you do not already own. For instance, those that "own the store" would not likely ever see a sale item. So if you do see an item in game, please pass it on, and I will check it against the sale items and then add it if need be. Thank you so very much!
Item Description : Location of item in subset : Sale price : Usual price : discount : date price ends
Sale price on these end on: May change daily. Items that are free, I put the day is was listed as they do not tend to last more than 24 hours. Some may last longer, so let me know and stay tuned here for more info.
Weekend only deals
For information about weekend Free Items and deals look to the Community News Blog posted by the Sim Guru's. They will post most often Friday, if not, Saturday is a good day to start looking. The free items are only temporary, so pick them up while you can.

How Do I Make Sure I Don't Miss A Deal?
Thalia_NL told us about this very handy add-on, plug-in, extension ... whatever you want to call it.
If an item/set you want is going to come up any minute now and you can't keep constantly watching the screen, try this add-on:
For Firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/alertbox/?src=cb-dl-rating
For Google Chrome
http://pulsvu.com/node/1399 - This is an 'alpha' version so try at your own risk :-)
How Do I Know What I've Already Got?
WARNING: Just because you bought the set does not mean that the Store will show that you own each item in that set! :evil:
It is quite easy to see an item at a bargain price and buy it without realising you already have it as part of a set or compilation. EA will take your money and you won't see any benefit from having bought the item twice.
So ... if you need help keeping your store items organized and accurately track what you actually own, crinrict has a wonderful tool that she has made available for free, called the <a href="http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/475665.page">S3SBrowser</a>.
It really is the most useful store item manager we've seen!
How Do I Know Which Set is The Best Value?
Not only do EA sell items in sets they create themes of related sets (like the Ultra Lounge) so they also combine sets within a theme into 'super sets' (like Critter Comforts & Forest Bedrooms) and then they create compilations mixing up all sorts of sets! How can you work out which is the best value for the items you want? Especially when they have random discounts with sales, daily deals and even special giveaways! :?: :?: :?:
You can use crinrict's S3SBrowser for this but the lovely Mmdrgntobldrgn has also created a couple of very handy tables comparing the prices and typical discounts for the compilations so you can quickly check if the prices make sense for your wallet and if they offer good value against the individual sets.
Check out:
Mmdrgntobldrgn's Sims 3 Store Big Compilations
Full Sets and other Combinations
What About Single Items Not In A Set?
There are quite a few nice items, particularly clothing, that are only available individually; you will not find them in any sets. Because individual item Deals can sell out very quickly it's good to have a quick way to check whether an item can only be bought separately or whether you might get it as part of a set you plan on buying.
Once again crinrict's S3SBrowser can be very helpful for this as well but it might actually be quicker to check 2Mahawk's very handy Easy to Miss Items thread. :thumbup:
This is a new portion of the thread that just started on 20 February. Here, I hope that when someone finds a deal on a Sims title that this can be one place to let other simmers know. I know when I was a newbie, I was hunting for those deals and would have loved to see something like this, sometimes I missed out because I did not see the thread in time. (as the thread got buried).
This portion of the thread will be improved by community imput. So if you see a deal on Sims titles(Origin, Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Game Fly, etc.), please post on the DD thread with the following info: Store/ Items on sale/ Price Points(lowest or a range)/ type of media / and when sale started and end date if available (many retailers do not give an end date unless it is a print media advertised special)
Below you will find the dates and store name of which you can obtain said EP's/SP's and Retail Released worlds (Monte Vista, Barnacle Bay, Hidden Springs). Also, please note that Digital Downloads (DDL) will probably have better deals and at a greater frequency than physical media.
Store / item that is on sale / Lowest prices / Disc or DDL /Start Date of sale
Origin (for both UK and North America) / EP, SP's, Worlds / 6.00 / DDL and Physical(limited) / 10 March to 26 March (link for US Origin.com)
Gamersgate.com / EP's,SP's, MonteVista / $13.97 for most / DDL / 21 February {becomingjenn}
Glad the the shuttle bay has been evacuated and we got out of that time loop.

Sorry to hear that, but could you let me know what those deals are please? These are the hardest things to keep track of. Thank you.
Traditional Ribbons Hairstyle
For 6 hours
100 simpoints, now 70 simpoints
Sorry.
I already have Panda & Friends and Wilderness Dreaming (Animals Abound) from another compilation, meaning the grand total of the combo sets I don't have would be 4900. Snagging this at 2500 is probably still better than waiting around for each combo set to pop up at 50% off. Choices, choices . . .
Now it's on sale again and, I think, cheaper than the last time. I might have to get it this go round!
Ohhoho, love a comparison shopper!! Half off of anything, though, is about as good as it gets, unless it's one of those increasingly rare blow-out sales. But... for me, if I have any set from a compilation, then I'd personally wait for the other individual subsets. This go around is pretty much all kids apparently, so your target sets still might hit the DD.
And thanks Heaven_sent, for the reminder that the Sale page has updated!
Now up: Critter Comforts for 510, 40% off.
