      It's brand new! They added it during the maintenance tonight. Seems pretty cool. I kinda wish I didn't own so much store content because I looked through my 5 "offers" and didn't see anything I wanted. :( But it's still a cool idea! Much better than goodie boxes, you can actually see what you're going to get. I'm excited to check again tomorrow! :D

      Kinda a neat feature, though I still prefer to pick and choose items that I am using for a particular build.

      I just saw this! I tried out one offer and got 3 items; 2 of them were from Surf's Up so my CYS came down on that set :-) .

      I own way too much and none of the offers were good for me either. Good for others who don't. Thanks all for the info.

      I think its: Eh.

      I saw lots of things I wanted, but all I ask is that the complimentary Simpoints not get discontinued, so that I may actually have a chance to get the offers. :?

      The first offer was nothing I was really interested in. (I'm not paying 1000 simpoints for children's pajamas!). The second offer is very, very tempting.

      For me the first one was way more points than I have.
      Then second I grabbed because 2 items from a set I've been trying to get CYS.
      Then another that was to much and then one that was those individual items not in a set with one items that I needed for CYS.

      Now I'm almost out of points....

      I am thinking this will go nicely with CYS...DD and of course weekly sale items.

      "What if I already own everything?"
      "First, thank you for being such a great Store customer! We often include special items that you can only purchase through Make Me an Offer, so be sure to try it out."


      The only thing I don't own is the Grandpa's Grove Venue. 4 offers were all elder hair I already own. Idk what in the world is up with that. The last one offered this:

      I got offered Tutor of Tudors 3 out of 5 times, the lowest price was 1083, however my CYS is only 540. I got offered Country Living at 1072, once again much more expensive then my CYS of 785. My only other offer contained 4 Clothing items for 177, this was not a bad deal, however they were items I was not crazy about, so I passed.

      It is an interesting idea, but I suspect my CYS will still beat most deals, since I have some pretty good CYS prices on most of my remaining sets thanks to the goodie boxes. The only way I can see this benefiting me is if they start offering me the worlds/venues that I don't currently own. Still this could be good for those who do not own much.

      I ALMOST bit with the Tudor set because it offered me 999 with that and some clothing, but there's other stuff I want more so I passed. But it was a painful moment. I know...I'm nuts. But I've only got so much money...

      One of the offers I had included Lunar Lakes (which I need) but I didn't have enought sp to get that deal. Another offer had the Bistro set but again didn't have enough sp to get it. I hope we get a good sale for BF/CM :wink: .

      Why am I not surprised. The store has never been able to do the no duplicates thing properly. But at least these are not like the goodie boxes where you pay in advance and get stuck with any duplicates.

      Well, Alli, because of my Romanza problem, quite a few of the offers had stuff from those sets so I passed on those. I just wish the store would recognize what I actually own :!: :evil:

      I was offered nothing from my wish list or anything good, just all hair and clothes that I'm not interested in. Passed on all of it. The discounts weren't enticing enough on any of it.

      I was offered nothing I actually want and the discounts were something like "save 16%!"... yeah sorry but 16% isn't really enough of a discount...

      It's a neat concept. I wish they accounted for CYS.

      They really want to get the most out of the store before everyone moves to s4. I kinda wonder what's next. Sims get TV commercial advertising store merchandise in the game? Maybe sims will get telemarketing advertising a discount on something in the store? Haha, well at least this on is not an in game advertisement, those really annoy me, this one's kind of fun because of the randomness.

      I'm not complaining just pointing out something that's funny to me.

      I like this idea. I have a lot of store items, so I was not surprised that I was not interested in the first 5 offers, because I already have a lot of the things I want (I am hoping for an offer with a venue or world that I don't have).

      After I passed on the first two offers, I tried to go back to look at the first offer again, but could not find it. Is every offer good for one hour, or can you only have one offer open at a time? If you can have more than one open at a time, where do you find your current, open offers?
