    @ernesat can you gift me the Steampunk Kitchen- Caliper Flame Control Cinerator Stove off my wish list https://store.thesims3.com/myWishlist.html?persona=seaben06 i think that will make the rest of the set free because the complete your set thing says i can pay 65 sim points to get the set so i think a 81 sim point item will finally make the set free

    check your gifts. I hope the rest is free. Can't beat a good deal! B)

    I love @walkingstick's tugboat. I remember @walkingstick saying that people confused her for a male because her avi had an old man with a walking stick. She couldn't think of an unique user name. Then she saw a walking stick in the corner as she was looking around the room. Great user name. Great story. Awesome creator.

    Yes, @seaben, just put a pic in your shell challenge thread and tag me.

    I vaguely remember something like that. :D

    You're welcome. I'm sad it wasn't free for you though.

    On another note, I love your shell challenge. It's really challenging. Are you going to continue with it?

    Hi @ErnesaT, I just noticed the last mentioned nomination is Bleubell/ETS3lovers (nominated by Holaheye). Was Seabens last entry on Oiswise not valid? (maybe she was to late with her submission). I noticed because I was nominated (if my nomination wasn't valid, you would have asked seaben for another nominee, right) and also because I was in doubt if seaben didn't miss 150 SP in her bank from this entry.

    Thanks @ciane for that suggestion. I will surely look into it.

    I thought I answered this. It has been corrected.

    5. Couldn't find anything specifically but in the Mid-Century Modern 2 (No CC), some game and store items were recolered. One item I saw that was recolored is a counter from the store but there may be others.

    I wish I could. I encountered similar situations, twice, where I was sure one more item that exceeded the price that was still charged for the set was enough. But it wasn't. One of those set had CYS going on, the other was not CYS. With the non-cys (Collectionne Stäncké) set I ended up with being rewarded in this contest or being gifted everything except a lamp (25 SP). That I got for free when the set finally became free. The cys (Futureshock Loft Collection), I ended up being rewarded all from that set except the telescope (75 SP). That item I got for free when the set finally became free.

    Maybe somebody from the DD thread can answer your question but I doubt it. A while back I asked a similar question. I will edit this comment shortly when I'am on my desktop and will paste a link to those comments from the DD thread over here.

    EDIT: So, I'm on my desktop now. I find it more easy to search, copy and paste on my desktop then I do on my mobile. I have found the comments I was talking about:

    In this comment I describe exactly how it went down when I wanted to purchase Collectionne Stäncké:

    I can imagine. Well, I made it more easy for you o:): just look at those links. They are related to your question. They don't answer it, not really, but they are related to it. ;)

    ok so what i'm hearing is it will ether be i have to own 83% of the set to get the rest for free or own items that would make it the same value of the set time go do some store math :D

  • seabenseaben Posts: 631 Member
    well i'm totally confused :D but if i need 83% of the set i will need 24 items of the 29 in the set i already have 14 from completing the steam punk kitchen set but the problem is i don't know if its 83% i need because it could be the sim point value that's more important if it is the simpoint value i have no idea except that it should be in between 175 and 405 or 407 so i would like the following items off my wish list @ernesat
    Edwardian Expression Kitchen- Haute High Hanging Wall Shelf
    Edwardian Expression Kitchen- Graceful Gelatin Taste and Style Sculpture
    Edwardian Expression Kitchen- Delicacy Server Stand
    Edwardian Expression Kitchen- Lush Bloom Lily Vase
    Edwardian Expression Kitchen- Pure and Tasteful
    Edwardian Expression Kitchen- Ornate Over Oven Fume
    Edwardian Expression Kitchen- Dispose With Diginity Trashcan
    they will equal 201 sim points so we will see what happens with that :D

    I thought so too but I doubt it very much. Because in both of my situations, the value of the items I purchased exceeded the remaining price of the set. With my last set, for example: the price left was something like 165 SP. So I asked Ernesa to reward me an item of 180 SP thinking that would be enough to get the set for free. It was not. After owning the 180 SP item, the set price was still something like 15 SP. So I asked Ernesa to reward me another item valued 25 SP. This was enough, the set finally became free and I got a free telescope (75 SP). So I (Ernesa :p) spent 40 SP more then the 165 SP that was left. With the other set, it was similar (although that set was not CYS): I still had to spent more than the remaining set price that was left.

  • seabenseaben Posts: 631 Member
    yes well the cys price is at 175 right now and the price to make it the value of the entire set is ether 405 or 407 store math is so confusing anyway we will see if the 7 item worth 201 points does the trick if not i will try to get 3 more items so i own 83% i will figure out how the store works if its the last thing i do lol :D

    Nope. It's totally YOU spent 40 more SPs than the price. :D

    Please accept my apology for not posting a FS for the last few days. One of my nephews' birthday was August 16. Unfortunately, due to manic depression, he killed himself 8 years ago. He was on life support but brain dead. I made the call to turn off the machines because my sister couldn't be there and asked me not to leave her child on life support (she lives on the West Coast and we're on the East Coast). I held his hand and watched as his heart stopped. He was 24. I go through a rough time around his birthday and the end of September (when he died).

    Time does heal all things. You don't forget but it does get easier. I still have moments where I'll cry for no reason (I'm not normally a crier). I used to have nightmares. Thankfully, this year it was only a mild sense of sadness and I all I wanted was to sleep for 2 days. I am better now and will resume tomorrow.
