    From what I've read, with the Showtime expansion you can send your Sim to another player (and they can send their Sim to you) so that the sims will get new experiences.
    I do not have a wishlist as I now officially own the store. I have a thank you thread. Here is my Sims 3 page. My top 5 list can be found here (it is empty).

    Special cases where I'll have to talk to customer support:
    Most of the gold worlds due to getting worlds & venues separately

    So the store won't show that you own it if you've gotten venues and worlds separately but together they make gold? I've noticed that Sunlit Tides and Lucky Palms weren't showing that gold was owned for me, but I didn't realize that meant I wouldn't own the store unless I called customer service.

    Also, for some reason the store won't recognize my codes for having the Sims 3 game (which is so silly - I obviously have it or I couln't play any of the other expansions/worlds that I have :unamused: ) and Ambitions. So I won't own the store unless those are recognized, too?

    @jbsquared2000 I bought venues and worlds separately, once or twice MMAO gave me offers for one or two Gold worlds, which I already attained. Every so often I click on the MMAO button just to see if it does offer me a gold world again, out of curiosity, but it doesn't anymore. CS could probably put it right for you, I just decided it wasn't necessary.

    On a gifting note, my ads have stopped completly, could have something to do with an automatic update NoScript did. I was getting a fair share of ads before the update, I'll have to look into it :neutral:

    @wittanthony1 I just noticed your last competition today, too late to enter, but it was a brillaint idea, thanks for hosting it, congrats to the winners :smiley:
    Happy simming to all simmers.

    wishlist free since 10th June 2015

    Thanks for explaining. Makes me want showtime now.

    Not a day will go by without MMAO trying to offer me one of the gold worlds (Sunlit Tides, Lucky Palms, or Aurora Skies) or the Date Night set (or parts of date night).

    I just haven't set aside some time to deal with customer support, as I know it will take a bit of time to clear up.

    Huh - I just thought it was a fluke when I saw MMAO offer me the gold world that I already owned as the standard and venue, combined. That's pretty stinky that, if I didn't know better, I might end up buying that same world a second time. And for that price! :rage: I'm glad that between you all, and @anettesb with her clean wishlist thread that everyone is being educated about this!

    @jbsquared2000 - I have Lucky Palms and the Casino separate, I don't have the gold version, but I still consider myself as owning the store. Gold or not, you still own the items. And you'll still get the congratulations page from the MMAO machine. As a matter of fact, I still have The Final Frontier Set and When Worlds Collide Collection showing as not owned just because they aren't CYS enabled, but I do own every item in them. I don't care cause I still own the items. It's up to you how you want it, but as long as you have the items in some way or another I would still consider you as owning the store ;)

    As for the EP's and SP's, I don't have them all yet either. I don't think those are considered as part of "owning the store", they're listed under "Games", not the "Store".

    The only things I had CS fix for me was Date Night and the chocolate fountain so that they would stop popping up in MMAO.
    You may call me Danielle or KittyKat, whichever you prefer, I like them both :P

    Yessss, this happens to me too with Lucky Palms and the casino. At first I was confused and thought, "But I'm sure I own this world." haha Then I looked and realized it was the gold version that showed up.

    @KittyKat8103, seeing that I have to get customer support to deal with Date Night and I should have dealt with all this a couple weeks ago, I might as well get the worlds fixed at the same time. Same goes for the When Worlds Collide collection.

    @rionismyname Seems to me quite a few people have been having a problem with the notifications recently, and with the emails. I've read where some don't even know they've been gifted. Maybe EA have been sorting it, and that's why the forum and MyPage have been so glitchy. :# Glad you got the gift ok.

    ^ This. First paragraph is exactly how I would have responded. I would just add that we will still send you congratulations, offer you virtual cookies, and agree you have the right to claim membership in the I Own the Store Club.

    The MMAO machine considers that I own the store even though, if I keep asking it to search, it eventually offers me a gold world.

    The EPs and SPs are not from the store and don't affect store ownership. The EPs and SPs were a different team of creators. The EPs and SPs were not as fun to stalk as the deals on the DD list.

    The only time I contacted Customer Service to adjust ownership was to fix Hollywood Regency Den. I owned the set, I think from a Goodie Box Bonus item. However, only the few items I had purchased separately were showing as being owned. (The thin orange border around the items on the set page.) The reason I contacted Customer Service is because I was not getting credit for owning the items for the September 2011 Compilation which affected me getting the rest of the compilation free on the DD.

    Simport allows you to send your singers, acrobats or magicians to another player's game to perform in one of their venues that come with Showtime. As well, you can host your friends' singers, acrobats or magicians to perform at your venues. You do not control the visiting Sim but you see them perform. When your Sim has a successful tour or the visiting Sim successfully performs at your venue, you unlock stamps in your Simport passport. When you unlock stamps, you unlock stage props that you can use in the game.

    Well, at this point I can't re-download Date Night without essentially buying it again. When I got it through the Humble Origin Bundle, they duplicated the whole set and called it the "Date Night Exclusive". They gave me a gift code (16-digit), like a registration bonus code:
    s7NuOOK.jpg
    If it were only the worlds, I could probably control my OCD enough to ignore it. However the above is a major problem for me. I could even live with the store showing that I don't own World Adventures (bought the expansion bundle). It irks me that I also had to essentially double buy the chocolate fountain (another thing I should have fixed a while ago) through the Le Cirque set. I got the bonus version of the chocolate fountain through buying Monte Vista in the worlds bundle on the Origin Store. There are other examples as well.

    I'm not buying Date Night again, and I don't want anyone but EA to fix this mistake, as it is EA's fault. Yes, the Date Night Exclusive set appears in my purchase history, and is 41 MB in size.

    I'm not mad at anyone here, but I am annoyed with EA over this. Admitly the reason I want to have the other stuff fixed is partly motivated by wanting to get back at EA for making me take time and putting up with the hassle of dealing with customer service to get it fixed. The last time I had to deal with EA support for a registered product code not showing on my account was with SPORE, and that took about 4 days to fully work out, which is why I've tried to avoid this until now.

    Origin must be having some serious traffic, bc it's crashed on me 3 times today. Just now, when I launched Origin, it displayed all their titles in another country's currency. And then crashed again.
    Remember: Wherever you go...there you are.

    One day, my wishlist turned into Own the Store, and there was no more wishlist. How remarkable.

    For the last few weeks, at least. That is the company supplying the ads, and yes, they appear on the bottom of the ads in Canada too.

    On a much happier note than my last post, I was just able to pounce on Mother Russia for zero sp. :smile: One more set off the list!

    @VGryphon I had CS fix those two for me, Date Night and the Chocolate Fountain (though, you should still be able to download Date Night from your purchase history page). Date Night, mainly just to stop the items from popping up in MMAO, and the Chocolate Fountain, to also stop it from popping up in MMAO and to get the CYS on Le Cirque. I just didn't bother with the other stuff cause it wasn't really necessary. I was just trying to explain to Julie that you don't need the Gold version of world's, or certain fixes, in order to "own the store".

    I probably should have dealt with the chocolate fountain sooner. For that I'm annoyed at myself that I didn't get the CYS on it, though with the Daily Deals it still worked out. I understand what you are saying though.

    I'm a little slow mentally this last week thanks to OE issues causing lack of sleep.

    @KittyKat8103 - thank you so much for explaining in more depth how this works. :) I'm so relieved that I can just ignore the silly offers of the gold worlds on the MMAO and not give it another thought. I'll keep an eye on the MMAO, though, for anything that pops up, other than the gold worlds, once I have everything, just to keep it all straight. I'm glad, too, that the EP's and SP's are separate from the store itself, as I don't know what I can do to work out the issue with the store not accepting my codes on two of my EP's.

    Thank you, and @Me1620, for still offering to include me in the Own the Store Club, even if there are any EA details to be sorted out at the end. <3 I'm a big fan of cookies - virtual, or otherwise! :sunglasses:

    @VGryphon - I would have drug my feet calling customer service, too, only because of the time and effort it will take. I hope things go smoothly and they can get your items credited as painlessly as possible. :)

    ^ This. Wow, we are totally on the same wave length today. In the past you and I were involved in "gift blocking". Now, you have ninja'ed me on posts. Hmm, what term should we call this? :)

    @VGryphon - I hope that my post did not offend you. I have only needed to call Customer Service once on the issue of fixing my sets because it only happened to me once. (Mainly because I was making store purchases before these great incentives and promotions were available.) Believe me, I have called them other times to fix duplicate purchases.

    No, I'm not offended Jodi. I'm very sorry that my wording gives that impression. I have a lot of respect for you.

    I just tend to be at my most precise, blunt, and reactionary when I'm tired and hot (record heat in the region, and I've lived here all my life). The heat is going to be devastating in August by all signs.

    As I said, I should have dealt with all this a long time ago. I believe in efficiency, so that is why I'll deal with everything at the same time.
