@dothesmustle That's a perfect lot size for it. It just looks like an amazing spot to have sims accidentily get married. I quite enjoy building as well, but I always get impatient and want to get back to playing, because I really love that as well. So it's amazing to see something I have been meaning to build might be up for download. And I don't know if I would have come close to something that fantastic. I really love the look of it. I will definitely try to use that, even though I am missing a lot of the EPs.
Is it possible to download and install a lot without having all the EPs the builder has installed? In TS2 that didn't really work and usually crashed the game, but I think I read that TS3 relies more on the patch level being the same and objects coming with one of the missing EPs will just be replaced. Does anybody know if that is true, because I can't seem to find anything about it anymore.
Just how many times is the Street Culture set going to appear on this list!? Seriously. Hello, EA, there are many sets, venues, and worlds that have either never been on the DD or rarely been on the DD. Can we please have some of them instead of the same stupid sets over and over again!? Please!
@awellenbl, I don't know about the downloading and game compatibility but if needed I could make one or two wee adjustments but the build I think is mostly store content, latenight and one item from showtime (I think). I am patched up to date if it helps. Oh and a great big thank you, you are such a sweetie I have been eying that up for a build hoping it would come on DD. I certainly hope I can return the favour when I am in a better position point wise, there's too much month left at the end of the money...and by month I mean November, I am the only summer baby among my family and friends and sept to feb is a nightmare!
@fan00123 thank you very much, it's so nice to get positive feedback I have always felt my buildings were a bit blah.
@JennalsGhost I like a few things on the sale list but unless there is an adstorm I'll just need to be patient.
Edit: I didn't think the Greenhouse would go on the list again, I probably should have waited for this greenhouse.
I hope there's a good discount though, for the people who don't have it yet!
Hello! Origin ID: Fan00123 My Page Thanks to all the lovely & generous simmers on here, I can now say, "I Own the Store! "
@Elf67 I love whack-a-mole and an arcade thing called spider stomp, I don't know if you are in the UK but if you are you will have seen it, it is awesome but exhausting beats going to the gym any day
To all users of the DD spreadsheet - I think it is safe to assume none of the deals will be selling out. Therefore, I am deleting all columns that relate to actual duration of the deals and adjusted start times. (The adjusted start time columns are hidden.) By deleting this data, I am removing redundant formulas. I am also creating a sheet that list the sets that have been offered and a list of those not yet offered.
@JennalsGhost I like a few things on the sale list but unless there is an adstorm I'll just need to be patient.
I usually only get the small things or sets that I already have good cys on.
There's a few sets I want, just don't have the right cys to purchase yet, so I'll skip for now.
a.k.a. Jenna, in case the username didn't give it away. ;P MyPage I own the whole store!!

Another repeated venue. I hope it's a better discount than the last two deals so the repeat is helping someone. And those lists sound like a great idea, @Me1620. If only the Mill and the Boardwalk would move from one list to the other one soon.
And you are very welcome, @dothesmustle. I still do get ads and just wanted to share some. Very glad I did manage to choose an item helpful for building cool lots.
@awellenbl and @martsm that is so weird, I have been working on a casino for appaloosa plains as a gift and decided to eventually put the Vegas set into use. Be warned this lot is tackier than super glue lol.
Great looking build Lori, and getting so much in such a compact space - impressive!
Apologies for my absence recently, I made the mistake of buying Cities in Motion 2 cheap on Steam a few weeks back and it's so long since I played a 'transport tycoon' game that it basically sucked up all my free time!
I kept an eye on this thread though, of course, but usually by the time I got round to thinking of something to add everything I had thought of to say had already been said!
Anyway, in short I would like to add my own personal ...
congrats to all those getting such good deals on this list, all those lovely green download buttons!
love and best wishes to everyone expecting 'good news' in their OE family life
love and support for all those who have shared, and those who have not felt able to share, personal stories of loss or ill health
This is what I love about this thread, this special community of friends, that can share and support each other and get so very 'off topic' and also stay 'on topic' without anyone getting upset or annoyed or having any of the "grief" you would get in so many other threads and forums.

Yes, in fact TS3 is reasonably clever about 'replacing' missing items. If an exchange lot uses something you don't have your game will put something 'similar' that you do own in its place.
I made a lot that included the playpen, for example and, I think it was Jodi who downloaded it and commented, that was replaced by a toy box.
Did it just get harder yet to find ads? Just when I thought it may be returning to normal when I search for them at home they disappear. I managed to find 2 ads while at the library earlier but haven't seen 1 ad at home in over 24 hours now. I don't notice the sponserpay script loading every time either. Is it just me or is this happening to others with the script not loading?
Store owner since 4/11/15.
I hope everybody has a wonderful day. Aka: Jennifer
Thank you very much for confirming this for me, @ajaxpost. There are quite a few wonderful lots I would love to add to my game, but I still only have 3 EPs and that probably won't change until there is another origin sale. That replacement feature sounds pretty cool, but I am happy as long as the game won't crash or suffer with such a lot installed.
@dothesmustle Love the casino and wedding area. I've used bits and pieces of the vegas stuff in resorts. Ya just kinda have to put the sunglasses on and have fun with it, and looks like you did a great job!!
Speaking of games with violence, I do like to get my holsters and lasers and rifles out occasionally and just blast away at the bad guys. There has to be bad guys though. I don't do online PK games, leave that for hubby. I'm working my way through the last tomb raider and disappointed that they changed her appearance even though I wasn't really crazy about the original boobs they had on the first one. LOL

Playing "new" games can take us away from Sims 3 and the DD forum. I have been playing Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare. I am not a fan of multiplayer or first shooters, but this one has me hooked; that is until I lose the connection to the EA servers which happens a few times in each session I play.
Yes, I was the one who made the comment about the toy box replacing the premium playpen item. I have downloaded lots from the exchange, and even with the warning icon, I believe they do load with no problem. Now that I have the playpen, I should check if the toy box has now been replaced with the playpen.
Another repeated venue. I hope it's a better discount than the last two deals so the repeat is helping someone. And those lists sound like a great idea, @Me1620. If only the Mill and the Boardwalk would move from one list to the other one soon.
I am currently creating the list of sets not yet offered. While I own the store, I feel the aggravation of the DD stalkers who are waiting for certain sets while other sets are being offered multiple times. This list also has very few premium items.

And with nothing selling out those higher priced repeats are so useless. I mean I guess somebody could have missed a lower priced deal and doesn't want to wait any more, but I think most people would rather have as many sets and venues as possible on the last list and would be fine with only the lowest discount of each of the repeated deals showing up. It is a bit frustrating to see a higher priced repeat deal take up one of those valuable spots on this last list.
If it were all different deals and none of the ones I really want were included at least someone else would be happy to get that one deal on a set they have been waiting for.
Well, enough complaining from me for today. And thank you very much for making those lists, which will be wonderful to have once the lists starts rotating.
Fingers crossed for something awesome appearing under next in a minute.

LOL! Gotta love ya, Sandi. I'm actually splitting my time between that same Tomb Raider, Titanfall (on gaming date nights with my boyfriend) and Darksiders II (free on Xbox Live at the moment), with a little Sims thrown in. I'm still flat out with studying too, but I'm trying to make a point of scheduling in some relaxing game time most days. Couldn't agree more about Tomb Raider! The triangle boobs freak me out. It seems painful, somehow, for them to be shaped like that!
Speaking of gaming, I've been doing that female gaming blog for a while, for an assignment where we needed to make a news blog. I just won a class-based award for it; others won in little subcategories, but I got 'Best Overall Blog'. So exciting! My teacher called the awards the Golden Mouse Awards (like computer mouse). Since I won the biggest award, I got a little 'trophy': an old Mac mouse, spray painted gold. It's ridiculously bad, hilarious and adorable, all at the same time. Most of you won't be interested in the blog, since it's a little light on content and I've tried to make it Aussie-themed too where possible, but if anyone IS interested, the blog is LadyGameBug.
I hope everyone is slowly working their way through their must-have lists. I was pretty impressed with the Now and Then Century Manor price, as well as Duke of Bows. I suppose they could always be better, but they were less than what I paid, and I was pretty estatic with the prices when I got them!
