    BTW: Messages have also disappeared from the top bar too if anyone has noticed. Checking launcher, there's no way to sign in from there as well because log in box has disappeared.

    I'm having the same problem! It doesn't show how many sim points I have.

    Okay, my number of simpoints that I have also isn't showing, or messages, gifting etc. I know how many I had, and I just had 3 adverts, so I know how many should be there. Hopefully, this will be fixed soon, alot of the simpoints were from adverts, but not all.


    I've just looked at my wishlist and seen that I have been gifted, so I edit this message to say thank you, I don't know who you are YET, but hopefully soon, so a big thank you to you, whoever you are :-)
    Happy simming to all simmers.

    I contacted EA Chat about the Header not showing for us. I logged the errors on my Java Console and sent the info along. The Rep. verified the issue and said he's kicking it upstairs, should be back to normal soon. (whatever that means? ;) )

    Awesome- I was just waiting for the EA chat, but my wait was still 50-55 minutes :o Thanks for reporting it.

    It may not be necessary, but do as you want. I told him there's a large number of effected people that can't buy from the store (No Cha-Ching till its corrected) & that he's going to have a mini-riot on his hands soon, so go kick IT outta bed & get her done! >:)

    Edit: whoa! It was just a 5 min. wait when I made contact. Yeppers, a LARGE number of effected people!

    Guy on the phone said that they just got a couple hundred calls and reports about the issue and are currently checking on it.

    BTW: you can still click on ads and get the SPs which will show up. An ad popped up while I was on phone with him and he was able to check how many SPs I had and saw that the SPs went up while we were talking. But he did suggest no gifting or anything until this is resolved.

    I don't even know if there is anyone there that can even tell if sales on the DD is down because of this issue. But there's no way to tell if I can afford to download something or not now
    If you click on "Buy SimPoints via: Mobile Phone Paysafe", you`ll see your SimPoint balance in the upper right corner of the next page (left to the thief image).
    Have a nice day!

    I don't have the mobile phone paysafe option...mainly I suppose because it's on my account that my carrier doesn't participate

    Excellent! Works perfectly. Thanks you very much for this workaround!

    Edit: "Thanks you very much..." ? Fatfinger crisis. I need a timeout.
    Edit2: Looks like they're fiddling with the JS. Phooey.

    I had over 300 SPs from ads in the past week

    I never understood why some people get so many and others get none. Doesn't make sense. They should make a set amount for each person instead of Mary getting 300 sps in one day while Jane only gets 10 Sps from the ads. It doesn't really sound fair. But I don't work for EA so I"ll never figure out how they do stuff.

    I'm pleased about that with the ads @SpiderCrowWolf‌ I'm getting them back-to-back at the moment, haven't seen anything like that in a while.

    Edit:
    Found you, thank you @charlotteprice‌ and @awellenbl‌ for the very generous gifts, they do help with two sets I'm looking to acquire for the wee ones.
    Happy simming to all simmers.

    Can't decide if I want to get Beach Bummin' or not. My estimated price is 216 as I only own 26% and the discount isn't very high. This has been on sale page though right? I'm wondering if I should wait and hope it goes on sale for a few percent higher. It would help if I could see my simpoints to know just how many I have!

    My too. I really only want to outfits so i can complete Quaint Cottage but i only onw 8% of beach bummin so do i or don't I?

    Last night my MMAo broke. I got a deal for 50% but the timer wasnt there. i didn't really want the items int he deal but 3 hours later it was still on the broken clock deal.
    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.

    Thanks for that handy tip :)

    But, Wow! That's expensive!!

    Normal TS3 Simpoint price: 500sp for £3 - Mobile price: 230sp for £3

    Normal TS3 price: 1000sp for £6 - Mobile price 775sp for £10

    ... More than double the price!?!?! That is beyond exploitation! :flushed:

    So the points from the 2 ads a more than likely in my account then. That is good to know. :)
    As far as I can tell, looking at my wishlist this morning I didn't see any new gifts that were gifted to me. As of 4pm CST, the header at the top showing your simpoints still isn't there.

    I agree that they should have set a limit to the amount of points you can earn from the ads in a day. Have it set to like 100 or 150 simpoints a day limit. That way more people would get the ads and would be better for even advertisers having more people watching the ads.

    Oh noes! That's Tahera's tip, I just did the picture :p
    I didn't even glance at the pricing. Though, the extortion would explain their choice of a Thief picture on the page. Odd, my Simpoint package options (in USD) are the same as the usual Buy Simpoint page. That's awfully skewed.

    I noted those mobile prices as well, my price was in euros, but still wohhhh...

    I used to have alot of luck with the sim points ads, that stopped, it trickled away till it was on a par with what I heard to be usual on this forum. 4-8 ads over a 24 hour period, or at least the many times a day I would look, they didn't all work, over half lately were just a spinning cursor. I suspect this run of ads right now, is to do with the problems with the site.

    I am getting adverts that are very strange, blue arrows in a circle, that do, using the double click method on play again, pay out simpoints. This is very strange though. I suspect my run on ads is very temporary. I've never understood how it works, I always clear my browsers history, after reading that that would help. (It's stopped already.)

    For most of my years here, I never got any, I read about them, and wondered what people were talking about, as I didn't get them. I bought the sim points from the shops.

    Editted for grammar, and to remove the plum.
    Happy simming to all simmers.
