I've been on the DD list all day, got the cowplant, the chocolate fountain and the hibiscus trio. Now to wait for World of wonder. Also thank you for the gift @BlazonReaper24 !
If you are working towards Live Love laugh make sure you wishlists are updated with single items.

Your welcome @notthecar. I am trying to organize my list by keeping what I need for the set I'm working on at the top. Its kind of a pain to have to take everything off to move something to the top. That is why I don't actually have all my wants on the list. I'm gonna be adding some more stuff tonight and try to organize it.
Ok I don't think I got the right calculations I really stink at math but thanks for help. :) I will just wait and see if I can get it when it comes up.
@BlazonReaper24 - There is no reason to remove things from your wishlist in order to move stuff around. Just click and hold on the item you want to move and move it to the position you want it to be in

It says my cys price is 1328 simpoints for live laugh love set. And with it being on sales page too it drops to 1165 simpoints for sales page to buy now.

Hmm... I think I know what part of the problem is. The price you are looking at is actually the (1328) sale price. It is the one directly underneath the crossed out original price. The price underneath that is your CYS price for the Sale price (1165). The price will yet again be different when the LLL set pops up on the DD page. I cannot really calculate the price without the actual CYS price. And the DD price and the Sales price do NOT combine. I'll try to explain the formula the best I can though, so you can use it for future refense.
I hope you don't take my breaking this down like this offensively. I just know that math in general can be confusing for even my peers. It is really just algebra and plugging in numbers. Oh geez, did I just say that? I sucked at math in high school. But this is right I promise. This math I actually understood. Anyways...
MMAO is such fun! (sarcasm) It just offered me Lucky Palms Gold (own Standard & Casino) and Fifth Avenue Fashions (own 51%) in the same offer, Three Times!!
That's a very expensive combo, over 4600 sim-points! Who do they think is going to accept that at only a 16 % discount?
Fortunately I was able to accept a few offers without them.
Thank you so very much @J8K9 for all the gifts. They helped get my cys price down more for me for Romanza Ceremony, Reception + Attire and Live, Laugh, Love. I think my cys price for deal #345 is down to 285 points. I'm now at 18% owned for Live, Laugh, Love. Romanza Ceremony deal #662 should have cys price of 140 points now.
The upcoming dd sets I'm watching are:
345) Live, Laugh, Love / 728 / 1953 / 63% / 2 hours (expected dd cys 285)
367) Everyday - Hot Summer Days / 338 / 963 / 65% / 2 hours (expected dd cys 255)
381) Mid-Century Modern Dining and Style Set / 422 / 897 / 53% / 2 hours (expected dd cys 350)
I hope that I can start finding ads again to get them.
@wittanthony1 - You're very welcome! I hope you can get some more pieces gifted to you before the set shows up. I would have gifted you more but simpoint ads are few and far between for me, also
That's okay. If I don't get the set this time for some reason I know that I can patiently wait for deal 784 to come up since it is the same price. I'll check in the morning what my cys price is and if I can get it or not.

Ahh okay, thanks a bunch. I guess I'll have to hope for many ads today or no set for me I've been pretty lucky with them though (so far).
Hope that your luck with the ads continues for you.
check you gift box and let me know if you got my gift! I am having a hard time finding the items for LLL. I have double-triple checked to see if I typed your name in right, so I hope it went to the right person! LOL
@Simgeek79 - Happy Platinum plumbobs for all who want and can get the TS2 UC!
On another note--those who did go Platinum and got the MMAO icon congratulating them for owning the store, for the rest of us still on the other side, I feel like maybe I am nickle and diming my sp away to buy single non set items.
1. So is it true that since you get them free after "owning the store", you probably just need to concentrate on DD items that go with a set? The venues and other goodies?
2. How many missing venues might there be when the store gives you that lovelymessage?
I'll borrow it from Jodi's closed thread...
I'm not anywhere near owning the store, but I find myself wanting to save my sp for things I really want. However, MMAO and the DD get you nickling and diming for single items, the sp for which might be better used in your priority sets.
Is that a valid strategy? Could you inadvertently end up getting that Plat plumbob following a recipe like this?
I've owned the TS3 Store since Feb 2015-thanks to the help of many other simmers ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ☆★☆My Page☆★☆ ᴼ -♞- ᴼ Ⅰ ❤ TS3❣
Oof, I was pages behind but have now caught up finally. I still owe a few replies to people that I'll work on tomorrow--the quotes in my draft message got too long! I was 2501 characters over the limit?! So I've pasted them into Word so that I can respond to you each in turn and then cull all the posts themselves from the message. (I don't know if that makes sense).
And aw, shucks, I missed Hibiscus Trio. I still feel conflicted about that one, since it's not CYS-enabled and I own the blue hibiscus from the Quaint Cottage set.

1. So is it true that since you get them free after "owning the store", you probably just need to concentrate on DD items that go with a set? The venues and other goodies?
When you write "you get them free" are you referring to single non-set items? I have never heard that you get the single items free if you own all the sets and venues. My last item was a venue so I guess I can't confirm. Also, when you are close to owning "everything" (because some sets and worlds will always show as being buyable although you own all the items), you may still get the "We are truly impressed" screen.
if your current price is 505 for LLL then you'll get a green download button
for those interested, if your LLL price is currently less than 540, you're likely to get a green download button
Oh, I've got twice that left. LOL I gave all the items away :P
The Event went well. I finished my costume (started just before I was supposed to go to bed) Friend brought over two awesome movies we watched while I was rolling on the floor trying to get the cloth to line up right on my dress so I could stitch it LOL. I got a new sewing set and a couple craft books I can't wait to try out! But right now, I'm gonna finish skimming the three threads I pay attention to and then get some rest before the event meeting tomorrow. HUGS and Dream Sweet Simmy Dreams!
I only have one thing on my list of buys for today, the Aims Co. Choc-O-Falls Fountain at my local time of 23:07 CET. I managed to get Go All In for free yesterday, after having missed it at Christmas, so can now go ahead building Lucky Palms with the Casino, Arcade and build a resort (base camp), so it can be used with nraas Travellor mod as a vacation world for my lil sim to visit. Now he who must be obeyed, is bugging to get going, so we can brave the storm here. I still have 2 pages here to catch up on, as @AlphaFen said "Some people just don't understand"<br />
<br />
MMAO is being very friendly to me of late, over half my offers are over 40%. <br />
<br />
Get well soon, @frozenorangejuic
Travellor Mod? What? Traveling is one of my favorite things to do! Could you give me the link to the download?
Yay! Green download for the Man Cave Compilation! I don't think I have anything else coming up until the carousel now.
(*) GOAL!! Congrats! I'm hunting that one too but it needs more work. Now to catch that WoW Sale tomorrow-ish. I'll bring coffee?
Thanks! For the Compilation I had the Level Up Collection (I got it free earlier and only bought the Rim Rockin' Basketball Hoop on sale) and I had the Rock Wall previously from the Adventurous Living Collection; I think it was at 51% complete before the DD.
Coffee would be wonderful. It will be 5:00 AM when WoW goes on sell here.
something's up with your wishlist link. Go's to page one of this thread.

Jodi, I may have misunderstood the exact wording. maybe it was only the exclusive items that were free after owning the store?
Forum search is a bit loopy for me and google search which I am usually good with, didn't hit spot on.
But after @NagyGina posted an account of how set and item ownership mistakes by the store could be corrected with CS contact, screenshots of owned set pages and errored collection pages (I'm using the wrong words), the idea being to get the store to KNOW what you really own and to have MMAO stop offering you gold words when you already own standard AND the premium content found in gold.
This logic tells me that perhaps people are reaching Store ownership Platinum without really owning what the store calculates as 'everything' for users to own by the same MMAO that tries to resell stuff to you. Perhaps there is a grey area of leeway since some things that are owned are not marked by the store, and yet at some point MMAO tells tells you that you've gone Plat (using my verbiage for it).
This is why I am wondering if stalkers who are budgeting and prioritizing venues/collections over single objects, will still achieve that glorious MMAO announcement without worrying about single items? Maybe someone in similar shoes understands what I mean.
Input from other Own The Store folk might only muddle this more?
Thanks for your input, Jodi.

How much is your CYS price? I can show you how to plug the numbers in if you would like.
