I purchased the biggest bundle of simpoints back in May thinking it will last me to the end of the store. Little did I know then, the end of the store would come only a few months after I made that purchase. There are so many items that people are still requesting. There are so many of us not moving on to Sims 4.

If I still bought SimPoints the way I used to buy SimPoints, I'd be right there in that boat with you.
Some of the discussion in GD is like, 'Well, you can still spend all your SPs in the store!' Well, if you have 10,000 SimPoints and only one more set to buy in August...you're scr*wed.
Because of things like this, the timing is all wrong. Or, they should have a way to compensate you/customers for something like this.
I know how you feel, Jodi. I was sitting here with almost 7500sp in my account and only the August set to buy since I own everything else. Guess there's going to be a whole lot of gifting going on 8) .

This is how they force us to move on with the new sequel.
Maybe once it fails badly EA will greenlight another Store release or tell us that there were no more content pre-TS4 launch but things would possibly change after that.
Half hoping this is just a TS4 marketing trick. Abandoning their gold mine too quickly shouldn't be a great option. And they even just said Bohemian Garden is one of their bestselling set, so people are just retracting their support all of sudden? :roll:
I do wonder just how many Sims are going to be able to enjoy the gondola at a time; obviously, as a romantic thing, it'll seat two Sims (again, I assume that's the case), but it might be nice to see a whole tourist family going down a canal (that fits on a 64x64 lot :shock: ).
At first I thought a gondola would be to constrained even on a 64x64 lot. Then I remembered the Bellagio in Las Vegas.
Ashley, that mypage issue happens to me too sometimes. I usually just log back in again to fix it.
I've heard leaving it for a while and checking it again later also works, but I don't typically want to wait, lol.
I want it. Only if the price is as good or close to the first time.
It was 74% its first time, so I think I'll take it if it's at least 70%, or maybe if it's close to that.

That's probably a good example, actually, of how to best incorporate the gondola onto a lot! I do still think 64x64 is probably going to be a bit small for most designs, especially if you want to place much else on the lot, but I guess we'll see. I'm so excited to see exactly HOW this gondola system comes together! Concept art is not enough (but ooooh, pretty).
Why does the first Thursday of August have to be two weeks away?

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one not seeing ads. I've been trying to check in to see them at different times but nothing is showing up. Hopefully I can get some more soon. I've held off on buying some things due to the lack of ads.
I will say, they were really sparse until I started spending a lot of time in the forums obsessing over sims 4. I now leave my browser up with the DDs even when I leave the house and they are showing up regularly.
I would love to see World of Wonder Carousel Collection on the Daily Deal! Preferably in the hours that I'm awake(EST)!
I would also like to see Luxury Resort Attire on the Daily Deal, since the hair that is on sale now put me at 40% owned. I'm surprised it hasn't been offered yet, it's a very long list!
Like many, I'm very disappointed that they will not be making any new content after August. Yet another poor business decision made by EA! :roll: I will not be moving on to Sims 4, it doesn't interest me at all.

I have had the worst luck with those ads recently. I have maybe gotten 3 within a week and it is a lot less than usually.
I have seen them scattered through the day, probably about 5 so far
