Hello all! @Reachsims I just wanted to stop by and let you know that you can remove me from the directory. I have done some major ad watching the last few weeks and finally saved up enough points to buy the remaining worlds, one last venue, and finish up the last two sets I was working on. As of today, I own the store! Well, aside from MMAO exclusives, but I'll get those later
Also, I went on a little gifting spree to celebrate. Thank you to everyone who has helped me get here and I hope everyone has a wonderful day/night!
Wow omg congrats @blair2396 and @Okblondee7! I am so so SO excited for you guys who are so deserving! I can't wait for you guys to join the "own the store" club!! I'm almost there too, but it will take me a couple of weeks (hopefully!) ^_^ Have a great day guys!
@Assirk, thank you! It has gone by so quickly! @blair2396, congrats to you! Way to go!
What are MMAO exclusives? I am so in the dark about these things! I've also heard the term 'hidden store items'? Are those the few things that don't belong to any sets?
@Okblondee7 MMAO is Make Me and Offer Exclusives. There are a few items that are exclusive to the MMAO machine and you can only get them buy buying deals from the MMAO!
Thanks @Okblondee7 and congrats to you, too! MMAO exclusives are certain items that you can only get through the Make Me An Offer Machine. They aren't very common, at least not for me as I have only ever had them offered a few times and I never had enough points when it did. I am hoping that since I own everything else, they'll show up more often.
@blair2396 and @Okblondee7 how long did it take you guys to "own" the store? (I know you guys aren't quite done yet, but how long did it take to get to where you are today?
@Assirk I have been playing Sims for a few years and picking up store items here and there, but I posted my wishlist here in the directory back in September, so I would say that it really took me about 5 or 6 months. I know that some people have done it in an even shorter time, but I think that they had more time to stalk all the threads lol I grabbed as many DDs as I could but there were a lot of times that I was too busy and missed out on a deal so I think that made my journey a little longer
@Assirk, @Reachsims invited me here toward the end of September, shortly after I started playing the game after several years absence. @AMofOz gifted me that same month, as well as @Reachsims. So I would say a little over 4 months! I think you will get there sooner.
Thank you guys, @laurelar, and @Assirk for the info! I knew about MMAO, just forgot the 'short' name. Didn't know about the Hidden Items thread, so many thanks for that info as well!
Also, you sweet guys, @Assirk, @blair2396, and @Bird166, thank you for the beautiful clothing! I thanked you properly on my Thank-You thread here:
ETA: A big shout out and thank you to @laurelar for gifting me my last item and a huge thank you to dear @debbycanty for the Braids and Pigtails surprise! Thank you both so very much!!
I updated my list! This is like Christmas all year round so exciting!!
It really is, isn't it! What's so fun is people's heartfelt reactions to being gifted. I love that part.
Getting is not half bad either, of course, lol.
Wow! I am so excited to see that @blair2396 has completed the store and @Okblondee7 is down to her last set/venue and waiting on a sale in a week or so... and @Assirk is down to the last stuff and will be out of our hair in a few weeks. You must know I am kidding about that! Truly. And then @LaineeCheri is thinking it feels like Christmas so I had to send her a couple more little things for a DD set coming up in the next hour. This is fun and I am so glad to stay (hang around) and continue to be part of the fun. Congratulations to you dear people and Merry Christmas to anyone who feels like it's still the Jolly Ol' Season! Thanks for letting me stay in the loop and still be able to have so much fun! I appreciate the opportunity this affords me to give something back.
I hold to the opinion that gifting is more fun because it doesn't have to end. Now, where are those hobnobs?
We can wait to remove you until tomorrow, Okblondee? I can't do two in one day. It stings.
