Kind of wish I didn't pass on the 60% Wretched Thread items in my MMAO this morning.
Ashygirl, I'm sure they'll come again. I really do think that there's some sort of hierarchy in terms of what items get offered on MMAO. Until I finally bought all of Wretched Threads, I was getting constant offers for its items on MMAO. There was a brief stretch of time when I was waiting for WT to come up on the March/April DD list because I'd collected enough to get it for free, but every day while I waited, MMAO would offer me different combinations of WT items that I had to decline.
If you haven't already bought the DD, and if this list repeats, I'm sure you'd get more MMAO offers in between now and then.
At least the prices are much much better this time around. I decided to pick up the wretched threads at 105sp which makes that full set 20sp, but if this rotation is recycling last rotations goods then I should see that set offered I think. Maybe I'll wait and get it free and save myself 20sp
Actually, most of them are priced higher. With the exception of TNM and Wretched Threads, and Street Couture Kids & Teens and Drifter's Desire are only less cause the original price dropped. Looks like you got lucky with Wretched Threads being less .
Hopefully there will be more that are better deals, and hopefully eclectic pops up so those that missed it on the last list will still have a chance at it.
Spent the day in OE and look what happens when I came to check in.
Judy, so absolutely amazing of you to take on hosting of the DD thread. I know you will do a great job. :thumbup:
Finally to Adrian. You have probably been the longest running host of the DD thread. I checked back. You hosted from August 2012 to October 2012. After a short break, you hosted from April 2013 to May 2014. You have hosted during some crazy and strange rotations and my favourite one from May 2013 where the DD thread became the DD community. Over time, as you added information to the first page, you have provided a wonderful resource to our DD stalkers. Bravo to you.
Hi Jodi, yep it's great to have Judy take charge and head up all these lovely people. So, it had been a whole year eh?! Time sure does fly when you're having fun!
And thank you for the beautiful gift and message :oops: I do recall you commenting on my description of you after you had created the first Awesome DD Schedule Calculating Spreadsheet(TM) . Likewise, my own home displays no sign of being organised at all either ... except for "unimportant" stuff like my DVD collection or DD tracking spreadsheets
Just wanted to say hi. Been dealing with a lot in real life. Battling some depression and anxiety and am now on meds and therapy for it. I haven't really felt like myself so it's been hard to get things done and I lost interest in sims and such for awhile.
Hi Lauren, really good to hear from you again. Yes, we may not often see some of the 'older' names these days, but there are plenty of new names here, so I reckon this DD community is here to stay. So sad to hear that you've not been feeling good and I hope that your post is a sign that you're on the road to recovery. and, of course, whenever you do feel like popping in here I know there'll be someone ready with a virtual hug or happy dance for you.
... it just looks like the store team are too lazy to do anything but scramble an already assembled list. I'm pretty confident I could make up a DD list in a day of decent work. I wonder what the theory is behind changing nothing, if that's what's happening?
I suppose it's possible that now, as Sims 3 development draws to a close, the sheer volume of "old" stuff means "new" items will be a pretty small percentage of what is on offer ... but you would think they could set up some simple rules or a basic filter on their database to highlight certain categories or themes in the Store to mix it up a bit. Back in the day the DD rotations were generally quite different from one list to the next - though Tiki always appeared!! As you say they've either got some ill-motived work-experience guy running the Store now or they don't have the time to give Sims 3 the love and attention it deserves now they've Sims 4 stuff to work on ...
Thanks guys!
And Adrian didn't have a 4th post so I will leave that out for the time being.
Oh! I didn't even notice that. It looks like the 4th post never got copied over into the last thread. That link on the last thread linked to the 4th post of an earlier thread.
Ahh, yes, and talking of lazy people ... :oops: That fourth post I had planned to update with changes in Meg's "welcome wagon" post and developments in the Builders thread but never got round to it. Sorry
Thanks guys!

Ack! I hope that's not the impression I gave. I know we were getting lots of new additions to Meg's list, and I assumed that something like that had happened and the list had ended before we got a long enough lull in people adding themselves to the list. I just wanted to make sure that everybody knew there was still a way to get to that information if we wanted to include it in future lists.
On that note, let me take this opportunity to thank you for your long service in helping to maintain this list. It has been a huge help to me and so many others, and has, I'm sure, helped to maintain this wonderful community. Thank you so much.

Oh, no, no need to apologise at all. It is me who is somewhat embarrassed at having got too bored idle to fix my own post!
And thank you, for your kind words, and yourself providing such great advice and help in working through the intricacies of DD maths! :thumbup:
Hmm, so the audrey dress was so cheap...I decided to go ahead and get it this time. Now if that Man Cave Comp is that cheap, I just might be able to snag that too.
not a very exciting list. Just seems to be some price fixes and a reshuffle.
Not only the same items, but most of them are at a higher price than the old list. This is ridiculous. Pitiful sales page and a pitiful DD, on a holiday weekend no less. I'm hoping we'll be pleasantly surprised and be offered a percentage off all items starting tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.

Well don't be too upset. this just gives everyone an opportunity to save up those points for the Sale! page and the MMAO. I know I have a tough time holding onto points when I see a great deal, so this just forces me to have some restraint XD

I'm just holding off on buying until the list plays out a bit longer.
