Awesome!!! I'm not worried about getting the I Heart 50's set anymore at all It will definitely be free. And I think I'm on the right track for the other DD sets as well. Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!

@AlphaFen -- now I have "livin' on the edge" stuck in my head! ha
What about Finest Living, Finest Cooking? If I got the Japanese Inspired Clothing while its on sale, what will that do to the collection? I want the Bedroom set from that collection and want to know the best way to get it since I'm not getting many ads at the moment.
I just bought The Jazz Age Wear instead of waiting for the DD later. Cost me about 100 pts more, but now I have the items and don't need to worry about watching for it in the middle of the night as I often need to do.
This also gives me the subset of Jazz Age Living Room + Jazz Age Wear and the Feb 2011 Compilation green download buttons.

@MayaRose1138 - Getting the clothing set will make the finest living/finest cooking set about 865 SP. You can actually get the Japanese Inspired Clothing through the World Inspiration cascade on the first page if you are interested in going that route.

@lanlyn - Awesome!!! Did you own any of the Jazz Age living room? Or did just the clothes give you green download on the clothes+ living room? Did you own any of the futureshock kitchen?

I owned most of the other two sets. But still feels nice to get a complete Compilation. I've been trying to "tidy" up my game files. I plan to do a reinstall of my store content (just reset the game though) when I finally decide I have all I want. So owning the larger set will help with this. I won't have to do as much individual installing. According to the S3S Browser, I own about 75% of the store. I don't intend to own it all, but I'd like most of the Premium Content, for example, either with the venue or alone.

Absolutely! I want all the worlds, venues, and PC. Thankfully almost all of the venues and PC are attainable through the DD in some form or another, so that really helps.
cant get the best of 2010 to acknowledge i have the animals about, not sure if its just me but it says I dont own those items in the cys. so I will have to come back to that one later probably
@Enchantedprey - I had an issue with a set (Lullabies & Nursery Rhymes) where the store acknowledged that I owned the set and I could dl it as a complete set, but didn't show that I owned the individual items, so they didn't count towards CYS. I did the support chat thing, and after some back and forth the issue was escalated and eventually fixed.

@Enchantedprey - welcome to the thread! Hi! Glad @Grouchybeast was able to help you out. Also, if it is a recent purchase, sometimes logging out and back in helps. It took a while for that cascade to show up fully in all my CYS things for me too.
@Enchantedprey - make sure that you're persistent and patient, even if the support person doesn't seem to grasp the problem. I'm not sure that the online chat guy (who was super friendly, BTW) ever actually understood exactly what my issue was, because although he said he could see the items weren't marked as owned, he seemed to think that as long as I could use them in game then everything was okay. Whenever he asked if my problem was solved I just kept saying no, and reiterating that the issue was individual items not showing as owned in the store so they didn't count towards CYS (I think I must have typed that about ten times!)
Eventually he said he'd have to escalate, and a couple of days later I got an email saying they'd fixed the problem, without anyone else contacting me, so I assume whoever it was escalated to could read the transcript of the chat. Don't give up, and hopefully they'll be able to fix it!

I got Live, Laugh, Love this morning for 195 points. Again, I decided not to wait for the cheaper DD later in the rotation because there wasn't that much difference. And I already had the 2 premium items (the barrier and screen) from Le Cinema Plumbob. I was surprised to find I only had to pay 220 points for the March 2013 Compilation which gave me the rest of the cinema venue. Installing now!

Hooray!! I've got that compilation on the first page. Glad it worked for you
I've also added info on getting Loads of Laundry for free via the best of 2010 cascade
ALERT- I've also temporarily taken down the World Inspiration Cascade. Am I losing my mind? The rockwall isn't listed as part of the World Inspiration Collection, even though adventurous life is. Did I just make a bad assumption? Or does anyone remember seeing the rockwall on the World Inspiration page? Uber bummed about this
@LadybugLeslie i wonder if you could advise me on the the best way to acquire the futureshock bedroom. let me know if you don't want to and i'll try to figure out the math myself, i only bring it up because figuring this stuff out seems to appeal to you! When not on sale, my CYS on FS Bedroom is 548 (during this week's sale it is 465). According to Eliana's calculator, i'll be able to get it for 234 on Feb 19. However, the Super Sleeper (which i don't yet own) is on sale this week for 190. If i buy the super sleeper now, will my cys make it free when it comes on the dd on Feb 19? So i'll save 44 sp? do we know how cheap the sleeper purchase would make the bedroom set during the sale this week?
thank you for any advise, but as i said, don't bother if it doesn't interest you!

No, you're not losing your mind, @LadybugLeslie. I recently ran into this problem (shopping for my daughter) and buying the Rock Wall made no difference in her final cost of the World Inspiration Compilation.
On a lighter note, thank you so very much for this fantastic thread. It's a fabulous resource for saving money. I appreciate so very much your sacrifice of time on this effort. (*)

548 is this week's sale price, but your's is 465. Are you sure that's your normal CYS too? What do you own?
