@angeljess26 Well, all I need is the Prism Studio, then I'll own the store, so I'm here till Feb. 6th... Though I got a lot of stuff for my university... (In University, to have my Sims keep good grades, I feed them tons of herbs (wonderpetal), raw coffee beans and energy drink... Real life? Well, Red Bull is your friend... Wish wonderpetal was available for real!)

@rionismyname - When the Sims 2 store closed, we received notice that the store was closing at a certain date. We were advised to download our purchases because after the store closed, the website would not be available from which to download the content. If my memory is correct, I received notice by email. The notices were also on the website.
We will be receiving notice when the Sims 3 store closes. As we posted on page 1 in the FAQ ...
While it was a while ago, on Feb. 6, 2015, SimGuruBChick posted in the previous DD thread
Hey all, we have no plans to close The Sims 3 Store in the immediate future. As you already know, we will not be making any new content but the Store will remain open for a while yet. And, if we do decide to close the Store, we will provide lots of notice.
The Sims 3 store is very different than the Sims 2 store. TS2 was mainly the items from the stuff packs available individually with some exclusive content. I purchased the DVDs for the stuff packs, so I did not have a lot to backup. Very different story with the TS3 store as all the content is only available on the website.
We have had no indication what EA plans to do with The Sims 3 website, including My Page, if the store closes. My Page is part of thesims3.com website while this forum is part of thesims.com website.
As for your downloads, if the store closure is handled that same as The Sims 2, you need to back them up. You should start now as no one can predict what could happen to the website. Read this post on page 1 that directs you to other threads that give detailed discussions and instructions on backing up your content. Basically, there are two types of backups: Sims3package files and then installed files.
When you download from the store website, a Sims3package file is downloaded to your Sims 3 download folder. Once you install the item, you can move the file out of the downloads folder and save it on an external drive, the cloud, usb stick or DVD.
After the items are installed, depending on the type of item, you would backup various folders from Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 folder and the store patch files.
Again, you should refer to the threads post on page 1 for more information and instructions on backing up. Here is one quote from one of the threads
Not everything is in the DCCache and DCBackup folders. If that is all you copy, you will be missing worlds, which are in InstalledWorlds and WorldCache. You will be missing venues and some sims, which are in the Library and also SavedSims. You will be missing some lots, which are in Library and/or InstalledWorlds and/or WorldCache. You will not have your saved worlds, which are in Saves and contain all your recolored objects.
You also need the store content patches, for store items to work properly. And you really do need everything found in Downloads.
So, please, just do yourself a huge favor, and simply save your entireThe Sims 3 folder found in Electronic Arts/Documents.
... if I have all my store purchases backed up and get a new laptop after the store closes how do I get the items back in game?
I have not tried it myself, but I believe after you install the base game and have the Electronic Arts folder on your laptop, you should be able to paste your The Sims 3 folder backup into your new clean folder and have your store content. My game, with the exception of Diesel sp, are all DVDs. I have read you need to do a different back up if your game has been downloaded from Origin. That information may be in the threads that discuss backing up your game.
When I did a new install after the death of my previous laptop, I installed all my EPs/SPs, superpatched them, and then dumped in my files from the backup with no issues (I installed from Origin, btw). Backups from CAW pasted into their correct folder also worked, same for saved Sims and games. I also strongly recommend keeping a copy of the superpatcher for whichever patch level you are running on with your backups, as it takes forever to download otherwise.

Hello DD Stalkers,
Today is a pretty exciting day. It will bring the solo appearance of Sunlit Tides at number 972 (the only world that appears on the DD list) and the beginning of the next cycle of this rotation (the 7th!). That means we will also see the solo appearance of The Last Venue of Amore at number 2.
Vinyard Villa Furnishings at number 1 is the only item on this list that is still on the old percentage-sold system, and thus the only item that might sell out - that is not likely since it is not at its best discount on the list AND it hasn't sold out in the previous 6 rotations (though it came close once). It is fun to watch the percentage rise faster on it than all the other items on the list and remember those days when we were poised over our keyboards reloading screens and hoping that we'd get that item "this time around" before it sold out in 2.5 seconds.
There are also a few other white (once on the rotation) deals that come up during this time, including the Fit For a Queen chair from Tudor of Tudors at number 5. I found Tudor was a challenging set to collect because of the price, but snagging the 4 individual items available for a discount on the DD will help your CYS a bit. On the spreadsheet you can find out when the other items appear by using the "Sort By Part of Set" tab. Happy Shopping!

Oh @trithone I so remember the days of being poised over the keyboard!! Miss them for sure!!
Anyone on the fence about Sunlit Tides I highly recommend this world! It is absolutely gorgeous!!
What are anyone's thoughts on the Last Venue of Amore? Not sure about this one.
Good luck to everyone who has something they are after during this portion of the list!!
I enjoy this venue a lot, primarily because it includes a cathedral at which your sims can get married in. Sims can also go on cool gondola rides. It just depends on what you are in to.
But I've been charged points 3 times. Anyone else had this ?
You mean that, after couple hours, it still shows as multiple entries? If so, contact Customer support. Had it once, and they told me to wait at least 6 hours, because their systems commonly had display glitches, that caused transaction to be listed couple times, though only happened once, or to display with the wrong pictures, and such that were automatically weeded every hours or so...

Also got castle kit and will get best of 2010 free
Today is a pretty exciting day. It will bring the solo appearance of Sunlit Tides at number 972 (the only world that appears on the DD list) and the beginning of the next cycle of this rotation (the 7th!). That means we will also see the solo appearance of The Last Venue of Amore at number 2.
Vinyard Villa Furnishings at number 1 is the only item on this list that is still on the old percentage-sold system, and thus the only item that might sell out - that is not likely since it is not at its best discount on the list AND it hasn't sold out in the previous 6 rotations (though it came close once). It is fun to watch the percentage rise faster on it than all the other items on the list and remember those days when we were poised over our keyboards reloading screens and hoping that we'd get that item "this time around" before it sold out in 2.5 seconds.
There are also a few other white (once on the rotation) deals that come up during this time, including the Fit For a Queen chair from Tudor of Tudors at number 5. I found Tudor was a challenging set to collect because of the price, but snagging the 4 individual items available for a discount on the DD will help your CYS a bit. On the spreadsheet you can find out when the other items appear by using the "Sort By Part of Set" tab. Happy Shopping!

Thanks to a lot of amazing sim friends I have owned the store for a while now. If you'd like to help out a really good friend of mine who just started playing the game, here is his wishlist. Thanks!
Anyone on the fence about Sunlit Tides I highly recommend this world! It is absolutely gorgeous!!
What are anyone's thoughts on the Last Venue of Amore? Not sure about this one.
Good luck to everyone who has something they are after during this portion of the list!!
I enjoy this venue a lot, primarily because it includes a cathedral at which your sims can get married in. Sims can also go on cool gondola rides. It just depends on what you are in to.
I became an "own the store" member on February 27, 2016. Thank you so much, everyone!
Do you enjoy saving SimPoints?

But I've been charged points 3 times. Anyone else had this ?
You mean that, after couple hours, it still shows as multiple entries? If so, contact Customer support. Had it once, and they told me to wait at least 6 hours, because their systems commonly had display glitches, that caused transaction to be listed couple times, though only happened once, or to display with the wrong pictures, and such that were automatically weeded every hours or so...

Totally awesome. I have saved a copy of the spread sheets and the deal numbers that I have I have coloured bright pink. The dates and everything are magically in place so I can highlight the dates and times of the items I am after in pink, I can keep track of everything as long as I know what actual day it is in real life lol
