    Well, looking on the bright side, I now have 1861 SimPoints. Waiting a couple more hours to see if I can get 50 more SimPoints by watching the Slim Jim ads. Hope so. If not today, then hopefully before next Thursday. I suspect this set will be at 1900 SimPoints and I hope to have enough saved to buy it.

    It will probably be on sale at release, so you should have enough points already :)
    The Monarch Suite set was the last set that was released, and it went one sale the minute it was released. It is likely that the Bohemian Garden set will be on sale the moment it gets released.
    The million dollar question now is, when will it be released. :?

    That is great Nik :) The free simpoint advertisements are awesome for eligible simmers :)
    There's no venue coming with the set so I very much doubt it'll be as much as 1900 Simpoints. I'm predicting 1600 with a release sale of 1400.
    The sets can sometimes cost as much as the venues. I am thinking 1700-1900 simpoints for this set. I am not too concerned if the release date is next week, I just hope the blog is coming soon :)

    I see your avi is available for download in your studio and it says she has no CC. So what I MUST know is... WHAT HAIRSTYLE IS THAT???? I must have it!

    Poor Angry Bird was so disheartened about this, he swallowed his plumbbob. :mrgreen:

    I don't mind EA to offer new stuff only once per month. My purse it thankful for this limitation, because my greedy "me" can't resist to buy it.

    But it is neither correct nor polite to leave us - the customers and finally the financial supporters of this company - in the dark, when we can expect new "ware" or , even worse - to give us only some scraps of information to "make rumors and speculations cook". I firmly critisize this behaviour.

    I didn't either for a while, but it was my Avi hair for a while and people kept asking. I think it was LE version of Showtime only though :(

    It's from Showtime's Limited Edition, not from Sweet Treats, so you're safe. :D

    I actually use build items from Sweet Treats all the time when adding an ice cream shop to my towns....I resisted it at first, but I'm glad I bought it.

    Oh, sorry Kate! I didn't mean to rub it in or anything. I realize we're quite lucky here in the US to have the opportunity to earn free SimPoints. My apologies for being insensitive. :oops:

    Actually on further investigation, I am almost certain its this store hair http://store.thesims3.com/productDetail.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:20960&scategoryId=13817


    I looked on SimsVIP and there appears to be only one hair that came with the KP showtime edition. Its also not one of the hairs from sweet treats.

    it would be nice if we had better preview pics for store hair :roll:

    second edit: I did some googling to see if I could get better pictures of the stuff in runway riot, and it is definitely that store hair I linked :)

    I pushed the button to update the sims3 store nearly every minute since more than two hours!
    I would like to buy the new store content now. :cry:

    How have I not seen that one? Here's the Katy Perry one.(the color is terrible, I know) Very similar! Looks like the runway riot version has just slightly less "volume"

    I agree, they could have given us a release date. It really shows a total lack of respect for the customer, this lack of communication.

    Well maybe they should stop making content PERIOD... then people wouldn't have anything to complain about....

    Remember they don't HAVE to release anything for this game at this point. It isn't showing lack of respect for the customer at all. They are creating content to MAKE the customer happy but then again some people are never content with what they are given.

    They don't have to create content for us, that's absolutely true. But they do have to create content for their business, particularly as TS4 was delayed. If EA wants to maintain enthusiasm for the franchise, particularly in light of the TS4 delay, the easiest way to do it is to keep feeding the hungry masses thereby keeping the masses hungry.

    I don't understand the hand wringing over possibly not getting new content today, particularly since we know we're getting new content this month, but then again, I'm not as invested in TS3 as some other simmers are. I'm sure I get crazy and obsessive about some things that other simmers would be like, "Yeah, I mean, that hobby is nice and all, but it's not worth getting emotional over."

    :cry: I thought of the new content nearly every day. And since store updates come at the first thursday of the month always, I nervously expected the new set to be released today.

    They still haven't updated the Sale page and they do that every Thursday. So I'm still holding out a glimmer of hope but that glimmer is fading rapidly.
