    The one that came with the sky diving center? I can't seem to find it in my purchase history.Is there a working link to the set in the store somewhere?

    @EA_Lanna
    Can we lock this please? I got my answer.

      I found a link but it went to an error page. :( I would assume it's got to be in your purchase history somewhere if you ever downloaded it. Unless they can remove stuff when it's no longer available. That would be really uncool of them.

      If you own it "Thrill seeker pack" or have ever owned it,does not matter if it is retired or available.Will always be in your purchase history.

      Set preview picture in PH Looks like this,found mine fast

      You could have easily passed it up.My advice since it is really old like 2011-2012 hit your purchase history and at the top is a first/last page starting option go to the last page start backwards.

      If you owned it at any point it will be there you can easily miss it scanning set preview pics fast.I did it before looking for my JC Penny set and passed it like twice and had my Durrr moment.

      Hope you found it,for those interested found out it was discontinued 2012 so easy to narrow down in your search in purchase history.

      And now am wondering if ThePeculiarMe ever uploaded their skydiving lot.Really simple but love how they set it up for Bridgeport with the food truck and a subway access.

      Off to search for it.

      I wasn't able to find it, but was able to download a lot someone made that had the skydiving center on it, and that added it to my game.I know I had this before, as I created a lot myself with it.But it seems some of my exchange creations mysteriously vanished.

      It's not mysterious. EA removes your uploads if they aren't "popular" enough.

      The exchange was not intended to be a storage place for our creations. It was intended for sharing them with other players. So items that have been there a long time or that aren't being downloaded much are regularly removed. If you want an online backup of your creations, you need to find some other site to store them on, like Dropbox.

      .I don't use it as a storage place lol.Ones I want to keep forever are on my mediafire LOL I just happened to remember I had created a lot with this set and figured instead of randomly downloading a lot that may have a boat load of broken CC, I'd download from myself so I wouldn't get CC, but it was gone.I didn't know they did a cleaning of the exchange.That is certainly good to know for the future!

      But I don't get it, I know you said long time lots or ones that don't have many downloads get removed, these lots I'm referring to were created a few months ago.So they're fairly new.And lots I created from 2011 with only 40 or 50 downloads are still up.Not sure what they go by when deleting.

      I didn't realize they did a cleaning of the exchange, so it was mysterious to me.As they were just there a few weeks ago.But it makes no sense because I had just uploaded it a few months ago yet this one: https://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=4374057 from 2011 with only 66 downloads is still up lol.So I'm not sure what they go by when cleaning.

      As far as I can tell, they only make one pass on things after it's been up a month or so. Anything that was up there before they started pruning just stays there. For instance, this rather pedestrian house I uploaded in June of '09: https://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=9138

      Unfortunately, since the Ford Focus Thrillseeker pack is no longer available and what was really useful was actually the skydiving centre, there is a workaround if you're willing to build your own "Skydiving center". Unfortunately the Ford Focus is no longer available for download.

      add: I'm seeing as how I started playing Sims 3 late, I've missed a lot of "free" stuff. :D

      @Springfairy556 I just checked and I have all the Ford and Toyota cars in my purchase history. The link is broken though like you found out. I will have to see if I can locate it in my game files so I can share it with you. I've never felt the need to download custom cars as I still use them to this day. Those cars and the Pepper's Party Boots were great content :smile:

      Those are some pretty stylin' boots. I think my favorite is the couch that's the rear end of a car.

      I feel the same way, as I didn't start playing until July of 2012. The only free limited time set I ever got was the Prius set.

      As much as I love my LE content, I've always felt it's a cheap way to promote something. It's not fair for players to miss out.
