Everyone stay healthy & strong 'cause Flu Season is ON: h-ttp://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/usmap.htm<br />
From what I've read/heard, this year's flu shot, even the Quad, missed the primary strain (H3N2) currently going around.
I understand some of the Northwestern states are seeing a lot of cases of whooping cough, too. Makes me want to shut the doors and stay away from everyone, but I have 5 services and 2 gigs to play in the next week.
a.k.a. Samantha (though Sam is just fine, too. Also, Simmantha, according to my husband.)
Thanks to a lot of amazing sim friends I have owned the store for a while now. If you'd like to help out a really good friend of mine who just started playing the game, here is his wishlist. Thanks!

Here in the east it's the mumps! Please stay healthy this holiday season!
There is whooping cough epidemic in my region (Scotland) and since I am on high dose steroids and therefore immune suppressed I need to be extra vigilant just now too, you should see me when I go out with my scarf up wrapped around my face to under my eyes and my hat over my ears I look like a camp criminal lol. Anyway glad to hear you are feeling better ximph and I echo j8k9's message stay safe and healthy this winter xxx
@Penndra and @trithone - Thank you for pointing out the error and thank you for fixing the link. I am going to double check all the links again, but if anyone finds another misdirected link, or anything else, please let us know.
Regarding the spreadsheet: It also works like any excel document. At the top / head of each column you can choose to have the document sort everything from A-Z. That is a great way to find every single object you're looking for, fast, and compare all the offers that are on the DD list for that object.
I've sorted the "Item" column and the "Part of Set(s)" column (respectively, can't have both at the same time, of course), so I think I have full control of the amazing, awesome spreadsheet, and which deals will help me the most.
So pleased that you're finding the Awesome Spreadsheet so useful. You are absolutely right, if you're familiar with Excel (other spreadsheets are available ) you can do all sorts of interesting things with it. Even better is that you can download it and load it up in Excel and customise it to do exactly what you want.
The spreadsheet does provide a variety of sheets that presents the deals in a variety of sort orders and filtered information. The "Sort by Item/set" tab sorts the deals alphabetically from A - Z and then by DD price from lowest to highest. To the right is the Sort by Part of Set sheet. The spreadsheet is very "wide" both in columns and number of tabs, so please scroll to the right to see all it has to offer.
I could not agree more that the spreadsheet works better in Excel. First, I prefer Excel to Google Sheets. Second, I prefer working offline. I encourage everyone to download the spreadsheet into Excel and customize it. I would suggest deleting all the time zones but UTC and the one you live in. If your time zone is not there, use the CST time zone and change the formula to the correct offset from UTC time. Go through the current rotation sheet and highlight rows for the deals you want. On the very far right are tabs that list sets on the DD and then venues and premium items. Go through and keep only the deals you are interested in following.
If you are customizing the spreadsheet - do not delete the Master List or Items tabs as the other sheets depend on data from those two. Also, the Sort by Item/set sheet and the Sort by Percent sheet are based on a function in the top left cell in each sheet. If you change anything on those sheets, the entire contents will disappear. (Just delete the contents you typed and the sheet should regenerate.) If you want to customize those sheets, you can copy the sheet and then use Paste - Special - Paste Values only in a new sheet.

You are totally welcome. I'd hoped it might cheer you up just a little. Chuckles & coffee are what keep me going when all else fails. I'm glad you're getting well, a few other posters & folks I know in RL are experiencing miserable colds, too.<br />

Luckily mine was just a headache that was bad enough to make me a little queasy, I don't take flu shots. I had a terrible dream last night about giving blood. <shivers> But funny enough woke up super exited today. Got to put my Hogwarts Express HO scale choo choo under the tree this year. <usually just put up the kids' Thomas the Train>
Hi spreadsheet team, the link for deal number 93 is wrong, it currently links to faire folk furnishing and attire but should be going to just the faire folk attire set, sorry I can't provide the link but the forum wont let me for some weird and inexplicable reason. I only mention it in case no-one has caught it yet. Same on page one first post. Hope this helps a little. It's bed time here so night night all, keep safe xxx
Hello everybody! Today's MMAo yielded a deal at 53% off. it was off of several individual pieces but i didnt want any of them. felt weird to pass on a deal with such a high percentage. Today was back to lousy deals in general i got a 25% off on a deal that would cost me 205 points less if i bought it outright. i did discover a pretty outfit to add to my wishlist for later.
In case any needs to know where we are in the list:
and
89 ) Mediterranean Villa Kitchen/Dining / 294 / 630 / 53% / 2 hrs (less than 370, 692, 742)
Cheapest its going to be in the rotation it looks like.
1 Featured Look,1 Complications and 1 Venue to go.
MMAO thinks I own the store! Saving my way to Midnight Hollow Gold until EA makes The Golden Ticket Shop buyable.

Something strange (but Good) must be going on today with the MMAO... I got 50% off on some individual items too... I never got that since the 3X days. The problem was it was nothing that I wanted.
I'll second, or third that, as the case may be. I was offered a set I wanted, plus items from my wishlist, in MMAO for 43%, snapped it up. I also received an offer at 53%, but similarly, nothing I wanted.
- @Radlee I don't see your long post, I only see your post apologizing for a long post... I've been having issues with my posts appearing empty or seeing empty posts where I am mentioned...I don't know what I am doing wrong but I would have liked to see your long post...I haven't seen you on here for a little while, I'm sure you've been super busy getting ready for the holidays, never easy and harder still with a newborn and a four year old!
oh you didn't miss any posts, i was referring to the one that followed that statement, because it was so long.

@Aaronsims thank you for the gift! i look forward to playing at recolors

i don't get mmao for another 13 hours, but i hope i get a 50% off deal like others, and maybe something i want!
I recently started using a site called bubblews and decided to write a post about bonus sim points since I didn't see one by anyone else. Would anyone mind reading it and checking to see if I missed anything? http://www.bubblews.com/news/9717040-sims-3-store-bonus-sim-points
Hi @frozenorangejuic I read your blog, definitely a helpful tool...I know @MiaSkywalker has said many times to clear your browser history and to refresh the page and that sometimes helps. So you may want to add that. It seems to have helped me but I still don't get a lot but I do think I get more than I did before. It's nice of you to help out everyone - we all need more ads! I always find it fascinating how we all get different ads depending where we live. I wonder if we can track a pattern in our own geographic area if we share where we roughly live in the world and when we tend to get the most ads. For example I live in Ontario, Canada. At one point, I was getting a steady stream of ads that would run back to back until I got 100 pts and then it would stop. That happened every night for four nights...the only problem was it happened at 1:37 am. Then it switched to 9:30 am but only lasted 2 days and now I never get the steady stream...perhaps it happens at some specific time that I have yet to discover. Having said that if we shared information, perhaps we could then determine when ads might run for us and just focus on getting them at that time rather than searching all day - leaving us more time to chat on the forums or actually play the game - haha.
I now Own the Store!!...Thank you to everyone who helped me get here

Thanks Lori. I will fix the link. I am in the process of checking all the links, but really appreciate having other sets of eyes checking too.
Off topic: I'm not sure if anyone remembers this but, when we lost all the stuff when our hard drive went missing,I know I complained about losing a picture of my grandfather and how if I could have one thing from that hard, it would be that picture; today I was helping my mom switch to my brother's old phone since hers was messing up and I noticed she had the picture on her phone!! I about cried because I was so happy to see it. Haha.
Also, speaking of phones, I finally ordered a new one with the Christmas money I got! Woooo!!
Now time to go watch more Netflix.
That is so great that your mom happened to have a copy of the picture of your grandfather on her phone! I love it when things like that happen
Yay for getting a new phone!
LOL I just had a foreign ad that was a prank with people viewing sharks but it was fake and when they weren't expecting it, one would hit the glass and scare the people. So funny! Anyone else see that one?

That's a German ad. I got that a lot at one time. It's a pretty funny one.
Yay, finally got that fifth avenue fashions thing. MMAO also gave a bunch of 40% or higher deals (thats my threshold for saying "why not" (unless its a full set, you know, CYS)
But...I now have 666 simpoints.
Next offer: 1006 cost, huge deal. 1006 is 9001 flipped. DEAR GOD I KNEW THE NEXT DEAL WOULD BE HILARIOUS AND EVIL
Rebuilding Sims 2 inside Sims 3 one lot and sim at a time.
I feel really silly being so excited about this, but I 'modded' my first object today. It's nothing big (hence the ' ' around modded), but it did work! I just wanted to practice making a hidden EA item appear in the catalogue actually as an EA item and I got it to work on this Generations bouquet:
Like I said, really nothing special because I didn't even go so far as to add a name, description or $ amount (and I can't place it on surfaces either), but I did get it to show up in Buy Mode under the categories I wanted ─ and, mostly importantly, it shows as an item from Generations! More to learn and do, but it's so exciting to know that I kind of have control over my game like this! EA won't be hiding any more items from me ... eventually.

Depleted most of those points, back at a measly 100 again. EA sure knows the spirit of american christmas, those christmas items kept showing up on MMAO at hilariously bad discounts. PAY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE HAHA!
No.
I think the only build set I dont have is that Collection Stanke or whatever it is. Other than that, its Date Night (of course, but its now 50% complete!), the other Romanza one and World of Wonders venue. I'm pretty sure everything else is the random single item crap.
Just have to get it all before the store inevitably closes..

That's great news! Sounds like your pretty close! Me too! I have two venues, three clothing sets <Date Night will be for free soon as it comes up on the DD> and a bunch of single items. My MMAO comes up in about 8 minutes but not sure how much I'll be getting since I am low on SP and I need to keep enough sp to pick up Prism Art Studio in a day or two.
