Gurus,
Why can't we purchase the skylight pieces separately? I have no want or use for the other content bundled with this venue. I'd gladly pay 100SP apiece for the new build pieces, but I won't overpay by 1000SP just to get the 8 items I want.
I've noticed this is a trend in sets lately. Instead of bundling clothing and hair separately, they're all lumped in together with the decor items. I could care less about the clothing and hair, so I haven't been purchasing sets at all. Please consider going back to the old way of doing things and giving your customers more options. Offer the bundled sets for people who want them, but offer decor-only sets, too.
My two cents...

Whaaaat? Oh wow. :? Well I guess I'm getting the venue for sure then. I figured the two PC items would not be available separate but I didn't think the same would apply to the skylight pieces.
Hook, line, sinker. :?
How is that fair? Especially since I got the workout suit as a free item a year or so ago.
the workout suit you got as a free item, from uploading memories is for YA/A the one in this venue is for teens. The skirt with the mismatched leggings in a previous set was for teens, this new one is for YA/A.
:oops: Ohhh okay. That's sounds better now lol. I was thinking, "boy EA's getting cheap if they're recycling items". Thanks for letting me know
yup there is that chance, but they may or may not have reasonable prices on them. Isn't there some dress from the Cinema venue that is available in game, but it costs like 1,000 points? I think I remember seeing something about that a while ago.
While I'm certain that the current bundling tactic is the result of some super-strategic marketing plan, I'm proposing that giving customers MORE options instead of fewer would actually result in more store sales. I, personally, am not purchasing sets at all anymore and am instead purchasing the few single decor items in a Superset (decor + fashion) that I'm most interested in. The SP amount I'm expending is smaller than a regular decor set was and MUCH smaller than the current bundled set prices.
Why not try out giving the customers more purchasing power in the form of choices and see what the result is? What could it hurt?
I do like those windows though and I would likely get them by themselves if they were by themselves.
Decisions, decisions. For the record this is the first venue released I haven't bought immediately (as in, the same day :shock: ) since I changed over to Sims 3.
If EA want me to buy from the Store, they should offer new stuff ... they added a yoga poster ... so why not a yoga mat ... instead of a hot tub, well I know why. A yoga mat would requier new animations, but a hot tub is just old wine in new a bottle.
I think I can live without those windows
:shock: Only 14 hot tubs!! They put at least 14 in the Outdoor Living Stuff Pack alone.
Of course I'm kidding. I agree with you completely.
I'm also going to whine about the included male outfit...if you were going for "low budget, television, spaceship crew" then congratulations.
I agree, MizzRoseBud. Another hot tub? Really?
Yoga would be nice.
The windows and roof pieces are the only thing that attract me to this set at all. I watched a video someone posted on YouTube of the Sims in the dance studio and that will get old real fast.
It would be so cool to be able to combine the meditation skill and martial arts from WA with Yoga. That, I could have fun with.
"low budget, television, spaceship crew" LMAO!
Disappointed, to say the least To clarify, I know that venue items aren't sold separately for a long time, but I'm disappointed that you chose to bundle these specific items with an expensive venue instead of offering them as a regular set.
Okay, I will stop ranting now ... think I got it all off my cheast
