I'll definitely keep them bookmarked as that's really helpful by the looks of it. Ooh that's great news, definitely worth staying up to buy it ^_^ thank you for helping me.
Oh yeah for definite, it gets a bit overwhelming when you realise how much content there actually is. I can see what you mean with how exciting it is but I bet you feel so accomplished at owning the store now and having tons of fun :P.
I'm not sure if I did something wrong, I finished the Go All In compilation and purchased Vineyard villa # 397 early this morning. According to the op, I should have a green download button for October 2011 compilation, but it shows it costs 155 sp. I can't figure out what when wrong.
Hi @Odonata68 It seems that cascade is slightly broken. Me and some other people have experienced the same problem you mention. Below you'll find the conversation me and Assirk had about this issue a while ago.
I got a green download for the Go All In Compilation, but I don't have a green download for October 2011 compilation even though I have Vineyard Villa Furnishings... Hmmm anybody know why? The only items that I don't have in the compilation is the Boho Men, but I was supposed to get a green download for that.
Hi @Assirk I tried that cascade as well a while ago and also didn't get a green download button for October 2011. Just like you, I also owned Vineyard Villa Furnishings. I'm not completely sure, but I think I was gifted Laurel Beatnik and Way-out and Wild and then I completed October 2011 for 65 SP.
If you add some items of the Boho Vintage Men's Collection to your wishlist, I can help you out if you'd like
@Martje89 Thanks to you and @napoleonwrasse for your response. I can't be too disappointed about the price. It's definitely doable. lol Just a couple hours watching ads. Everything has been pretty accurate and I've been knocking out cascades like crazy! Too much fun! :D
@Odonata68 I couldn't resist sending you the two items from your wishlist I hope this helps! Glad to see the information in this thread helped you complete some of the cascades. It sure is a lot of fun hunting down some good deals! Also, congrats on becoming a member
Happy Days, Just got the mid-century modern trailblazer set free when it came onto the daily deal, all because I had the not so routine machine (I think I was actually gifted that but can't remember) and the towel wall holder (which I believe I got in a DD - I have such terrible memory) ^_^ .
Thanks so much for the info in this thread and other threads about dd stalking. I've successfully completed Animals Abound Cascade today. For me it gave enough cys to get not only Kids! 2010 and Tip Top Toddler but a green download for both best of 2010 and ultra lounge, too. Now waiting to get two more sets free at #59 and #307.
I have everything I want from the Sims 3 Store. Thanks again for everyone who helped
Sunlit Tides Standard is on Daily Deal at #972 which will be July 8th. This is the only world on Daily Deal.
You can get discounts on other worlds using the Make Me An Offer Machine.
Worlds that are retail/non simpoint only (like Monte Vista) sometimes go on sale on Origin or can be found cheap on Amazon or some other retailer.
To save points you can purchase the standard version of a world (not the gold version) and then buy the venue included with the gold version on Daily Deal. This can save you a lot of points and still let you get everything in the gold version.
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
What napoleonwrasse said above is completely true! I bought DV standard (Hard Disk) ages ago and it was last year or the year before I was generously gifted the Duke of Bows so now I own it as a Gold world instead of the standard and am still in love with the cute little Dragons that come with it.
Now, on to my questions! A: What items from LLL will bring it down to Free? B: Is it possible to get the matching compilation Free if you complete LLL? (Note: I have the Movie Screen as well in terms of premium content and am trying to get the Barrier system as well but my luck with being gifted that is 0 for 10.)

Do the sets show as 100% complete for you?
For me I only got a blue download button for Tip Top and Kids! 2010 and it never registered all items as owned and I haven't received any further discounts towards other sets including these. I can still purchase the Top o' the Tots set, which is included in the Tip Top Toddler Collection.
I own the store since March 4th, 2017! Thanks to everybody who has helped me achieve this!

Happy Simming!
As I mentioned in my post before I completed the Animals Abound Cascade aswell. But it doesn't show as 100% and I apparently don't own 70% of the items, yet in my history it says "Tip Top & Kids! 2010 FREE!".

@Cynth220 Completing Live Laugh Love will not make March 2013 free. If you own both the Barrier System and the Movie Screen the compilation will be at it's cheapest price: 220sp.
According to my math, in order to get Live Laugh Love free on Daily Deals #345 and #784 (when it is most discounted) you need a CYS of at least 1105sp. In order to get that CYS, you need to own a total of 725sp worth of items from Live Laugh Love.
@Jahnna That is really odd that it is not showing as owned. But it is showing as owned in your purchase history? Are you still able to download the items from your purchase history? @Franny might be the best person to ask about that because she is the most familiar with that cascade.

It is a ton of fun. I am particularly liking all the new decor options.
Certainly makes a change from using all the same decor in houses

> @Odonata68 Does it show all the items except boho men's as owned? Sometimes not everything is registered as owned.
Yes, I even triple checked, lol. The compilation page has the orange check-marks on everything but the boho set. Oh well, 155 sp isn't too bad. :)

That brought the compilation down to 90 sp! Thanks so much for your help. That will help me save up for DD# 455 Duke of Bows!

Pretty much yes. Be sure to also look at the Daily Deal thread to find many more tips on how to make the most of your simpoints.
