CLOSED DD (Daily Deal) Rotation (& In Game Sales)-Started 25 March-12 April

Welcome to the Mid March 2013 Daily Deals Rotation List!

THIS CYCLE ENDED ON 12 APRIL. New thread HERE

(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 25 March and ended 12 April. ROTATION of this list started 01 April starting with item (a). Please see the Old DD list that started on 20 February.

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. :mrgreen:


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.


Legend:
Bold entry - a set or compilation
Underlined entry - a venue
** - repeated
^^ - Sold out before the timer
no smiley - 30% or less discount
:) - 31% - 50% discount
:P - 51% - 60% discount
:thumbup: - 61% or more discount
:thumbup: :thumbup: - Free! (The best deal of them all, super rare though)
:!: - Premium Content item (also to include sets and venues that have PC items)
:thumbdown: - pricing screw up! Includes those that have no (0%) price savings.
:thumbdown: :thumbdown: - DON'T buy! Item cannot be used in any form at this time.

    In Game Only Sales

    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.

    This is copied from Ajaxpost here: The previous thread

    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:
    Just select the title of the current object on screen, and go to your alert inbox to add an "alert if text changes to (desired item/set name)". Warning: its case-sensitive, so its better to copy-paste than entering the name by hand.

    You MUST keep the browser open and you may also need to keep the Daily Deal page open (I have found that this isn't necessary in Firefox, but try it and check for yourself). You can switch to another tab, and do anything else you like in the browser, just don't close it! Alerts are sound, but deaf simmers can also select the message box option

    It's a lifesaver!

    Also: Do not select the clock element, or you'll get an alert every second!
    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! Mmdrgntobldrgn has come the rescue once again with a Page titled "Those Pesky Duplicates" :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:

        I think the new rotation starts with "relaxed sweater" because on the daily deal page under "past deals" both "relaxed sweater" and "mid century modern dining and style set" are listed.

        Edit: Usually they have 3 past deals listed, but this time they only have the 2.

        I think that the mid century modern dining and style set probably was for 2 hours, because when I first noticed it , there was 1 hour 20 minutes left, and I had seen earlier the relaxed sweater which ended the previous rotation.

        Thank you.

        As for the Relaxed Sweater....that is where it ended. They had Rosy Cheeks up then the sweater. So the Mid Century will be part of the new rotation.

        Al Fresco Street Market / 1330 / 1900 / 30% / 1 hour

        This contains the Humble Harvest Stands premium content!
        Also note, the Stands is NOT sold individually (though it's listed otherwise at 500), so another reason to pick this up.

        I'm not surprised the new rotation started since the store was down for so long. I was hoping by magic the set I wanted would've appeared for my birthday yesterday, but hopefully it'll come up later on in this rotation.

        Also, these 1 to 2-hour sales are great, but now I'm going to be nervous that I'll miss a good one while I'm sleeping. At least it'll very likely come up again before they move on to the next rotation though.

        Wow, 16% of the market sold within 4 minutes!

        Another good reason why short rotations are better. Anyone who missed out on this deal (and I'm sure there will be a LOT of people) will hopefully be able to snag it on the next pass. Good luck! ;)

        Now it's 26% claimed and not even 7 minutes have passed... I think this is going to be finished before the full hour :O
