    As well as paying bills you need money to buy simpoints. :D As for necle she'll show up again eventually, maybe when we start a new rotation.

    Joins chant for a new rotation and a super sale this weekend for Memorial Day, even though here it's just a normal day and my understanding of Memorial Day comes from watching revenge.

    Revenge is one of the only tv shows I would stop DD stalking for. I don't know Memorial Day; we just celebrated Victoria Day or as some call it, the May long weekend.
    lol. This is my first rotation that I actually stalked the DD. What a ride! I was frustrated with my phone enough to throw it against the wall, but I didn't. Thanks again me1620.
    Phew! Glad you didn't throw your phone. It would costs lots of simpoints to replace it. :-)
    Is it normal for a DD list this long to rotate all the way through for the third time?
    This is the longest list by far. I think the longest list before was about 250 items (maybe 280.) The norm for a rotation is that there is no norm. We are at the mercy of the Sim Gurus.

    lol. I know and believe me I do not want to spend the simpoints to replace my phone. I'd rather spend my simpoints on Dragon Valley and Island Paradise. :)

    I just hope the Gurus are merciful and give us a shorter rotation with the stuff folks missed that they really wanted.

    Good night all. Got to get some shut eye so I'll be ready for work tomorrow, this gal's gotta earn her simpoints. :)

    Just so you don't buy lots of simpoints intending to use them for Dragon Valley or Island Paradise, you can't use simpoints to buy them.

    Goodnight. I have to work tomorrow but I am a night owl.

    I missed the greenhouse for the umpteenth time because as usual it comes in the middle of the night for me (I live in the UK). I woke up seconds before it came up on the DD but amid all the excitement I was trying to log in with the password for a different website :roll: and by the time I remembered the right one, the greenhouse was gone! :evil:

    This is getting really annoying, now I'll have to wait months until it comes on DD again or there is a sale that is actually a good one.

    :shock: I . . . got gifted the Greenhouse. Is the system supposed to send messages for that? It didn't. I just happened to check my wishlist and noticed the lack of a Buy Now button. Holy cats! What a way to start the morning! Squee!

    Thank you again, luvalphvle! :D

    I'll let you know if the Greenhouse is worth it once I get a chance to play with it! I mostly wanted the station and the roof pieces (which you can't get separately). Venue is pretty but wasn't willing to spend almost $20 on it.

    Seconded (although it was more like £7.50 vs. £3.75 for me thanks to exchange rates and the higher points bundle). I wanted some of the clothing as well as the greenhouse bit itself, the premium items were a good bonus and should help me grow things. I dunno if I'll be able to check it out that much this afternoon/tonight but I'll do my best to post something here about it when I do.

    :( I barely slept last night because of the darn greenhouse -- I was paranoid something was going to sell out quickly so I was waking up and checking my laptop every thirty minutes or so, setting multiple alarms (I only needed the one though). By the time it got to 2:10 I got out of bed and camped in front of my laptop, waiting for the time to tick down. I've got a full day of work (so no real ability to test out the greenhouse) and I think I'm going to be paying for my sleepless night this evening.

    Before it made it through to the end, a set (I forget which one, but the old list can be referenced) popped up with a 6 hour time limit, but was only up for a few seconds or a minute or two before the Greenhouse popped up for 950 SimPoints and that was the beginning of THIS list.

    The horrible, deceiving, EVIL Outdoor Tiki Set that made me miss the Greenhouse that first time, loose all that sleep, and become a crazy, DD obsessed person... ::grumbles::

    BUT it also caused me to find this thread so everything turned out well in the end! :mrgreen:

    Edit: I am, however, going to need Daily Deals Anonymous eventually...

    "Hi, my name is Meg and I have an addiction." :roll:
    Oh yes! :lol:

    That was a strange night. I was putting of going to bed (late, as usual!) when I noticed a new DD, The Serenity Retreat, quickly followed by the Tiki Outdoor Party for six hours. Well, no one had started a new DD thread, so I was setting this one up when the Tiki set suddenly disappeared and there was the Greenhouse at half price! :shock:

    Stop right there! Luckily simpoints in the account so I snapped it up right there. Thankfully it was totally unexpected so the deal was up long enough for me to snag it.

    And then this amazing, extraordinary, list started; bringing so many awesome DD stalkers together for the ride!

    So sorry for you SVTony, we all feel your pain and frustration. :cry:

    melissam311554, that was me a couple of week ago when the Gothique Library came up at something past 3am! Thankfully the market was only (only! :shock: ) 1am! Congrats on a successful hunt! :D


    For litabelaqua:
    And, finally, just in case you didn't see my message on your wall - and I know this is a bit late :( - litabelaqua, thank you for the gift it was so very kind and generous of you. And, yes, my Sims are loving it :-)

    The life of a true DD stalker. I hope you are not a zombie at work today because of no sleep. Enjoy trying out the Greenhouse later and I hope you don't fall asleep while playing. (I do that all the time and wake up hours later slumped over at the computer.)

    On the brightside of this 3rd rotation, I was able to grab the only item from the safari living set that I want. But now I am ready for a new rotation :lol:

    Oh yes, I can definitely imagine that. There were a few things I wanted that I needed to get up in the early hours of the morning for (the marketplace, the may 2011 complilation set, and goes without saying the greenhouse).

    What made me nervous was the sheer uncertainty -- we didn't know if the greenhouse would pop up again or if we'd start a new rotation. I would have been a bit disappointed about getting up at 2AM if I saw we'd gone onto a new rotation and it wasn't an item I wanted.

    :lol: I've not been too bad so far, but I can feel it kicking in now, twelve hours later. Thankfully I work from home so no one can see how tired I am at work.

    If this rotation continues (IF, not saying I want it to) I might be able to nab some items I missed previously. The majority of them were single items that I was not waking up in the middle of the night for, not for a 30 point discount, but I'm hoping that the Sun Surf & Sand (Sleep) will reappear sometime soon -- I missed that first go-around and it was removed the second time.

    Of course, I'm also now going through and debating if some items on the list I really want -- in my legacy the two oldest girls are going to be heading to Starlight Shores to pursue their dreams. The Seeing Stars set might be up in a couple of hours, but I'm going "do I really want it?". (Edit: The answer is no)

    Nope! Just enjoy it! :) The Greenhouse really is one of the better venues!

    No, but you will likely need to tell more about your signature before anyone can help you, like if it is a picture or just text, etc. I don't have one myself yet, but it is because I've been too lazy to bother...lol

    I wish everything would sell out early and a new list would start. I am so tired of this one! :shock: lol

    I am gearing up to watch the live broadcast about DV in a few minutes. I am definitely interested in that world! :mrgreen: I cannot ask questions cause I don't tweet, but I will enjoy kicking back and watching! :D

    No matter what I type in my signature, nothing shows up on my posts. I'm not trying any images or anything. Even just simple "test" does not appear. I used to have one - one of those MissingStudios images that no longer work, and that appeared just fine. Deleted that when they were no longer available, now I just want some simple text. Dunno what I'm missing.


    Wow ok, nevermind. Apparently you have to check "Append Signature" on every post. That's so dumb!

    Fixed! In all my cutting a pasting I cut off the last two numbers of the page id - whoops!!! Haha! Now if I could just figure out how to change font size and color. I used to know all this stuff... or maybe it was just easier in the original sims forums.

    Cool! Very nice redesign, by the way! I rec'd it and will likely download it too. Also commented on your page in case you missed it. :wink:

    *sigh* Am content to be back inside this thread where all is happy, content, and quietly calm. :P
