There are Timezone specific spreadsheets on page 1; if your Timezone is not currently being updated be sure to yell out and me1620 will update it for your use.

    Happy 400 pages everyone 😀

    @angeljess26 - Happy 400 pages! 😃👏
    On that note, @ZeeGee was very generous a while back and offered to gift me some items I might be looking at. With a strategic application of her points, we managed to bring five different sets to the point where they'd either be entirely free or only cost a trivial amount. I've bought three of them so far and am waiting for the DD sales for the last two ...

    It would have been quite disappointing to have to wait another almost three months for that whole chain. And it only took me managing to wake up at 3:30 am or whatever it was on a Sunday morning. I went right back to sleep afterwards too, so no harm done.

    @puzzlezaddict - I love that you have shared your DD stalking and DD cascading story with us. It is wonderful that you and ZeeGee worked together to get the most bang for your simpoints and for those she generously gifted to you. Back in the days before I owned the store, I found that stalking the DD and working the cascades were as much fun as playing the game itself. I even miss those days when I set an alarm to get a certain deal.

    Hello to all the fellow "simificated" people out there!

    Reading all of this, I am so glad that I am not the only person waking up in the middle of the night in order to get a Daily Deal! :D
    I have been playing this game (including Sims 1 and 2) for at least 15 years - still listening to the Sims 1 soundtrack while studying - and bought Sims 3 in April 2020; up to then, I still had been playing Sims 2. ...

    In short: THANKS A LOT to all the people out there spending their time and energy in keeping up this list! I definitely appreciate it very much, too.

    @Sohera - Welcome to Sims 3 and the DD thread from one simificated person to another. 😉 (I have been playing the Sims since it was released back in 2000.) I am so glad you found us. Keep posting so your status changes to Member. Even though Sims 5 is in the works, Sims 3 still has a large devoted fan base. There is so much to do in the game and still some active threads to help you get the most not only out of your simpoints but out of the game itself. You may find that you browse the forum as much as you play the game.

    As @angeljess26 posted, check out page 1 of this thread. Please don't hesitate to ask questions and not only those related to the DD. The moderators have never scolded us for going off topic. I am about to update the main DD spreadsheet and some of the time zone specific spreadsheets. The time zone specific spreadsheet allows you to track the sets you own and will notify when your CYS may trigger the download button for a particular set. As angeljess26 posted, I would be happy to update or create a time zone specific spreadsheet for you if it is not one of the ones I have been updating regularly.

    Keep posted about your DD stalking.

    Before I post this comment I want to make sure you are aware of the Animals Abound Cascade

    @puzzlezaddict You're welcome! Happy to help. And thanks for the rest of the story! How fun. :)

    @Sohera Welcome! Am I simificated if I've only played Sims 3 for 6 years?!

    @Me1620 I think it's hilarious that there are all these articles and videos about how Sims 5 will have better graphics and more customization...yada yada yada. We already got that in Sims 3. Thanks anyway. :) And EA has confirmed absolutely nothing (that I'm aware of) so it's all speculation anyway!
  • SoheraSohera Posts: 5 New Member
    Thank you all for welcoming me! :)

    I've already checked up the Spreadsheet (pretty cool, good job!) and the time zone plans. For my time zone (Germany = Central Europe) it is accurate. Deals always start on XX:27 and 30 seconds. I also took a look at the first page (also very helpful). Some of it I had already known out of experience but some things were still new and helpful to me. I have even had my own document with my own overview of interesting items, to which sets they belong and which set would be the cheapest / most interesting one.

    About the Daily Deal... there was a funny coincidence on my first online registered day. Without creating an account, I first searched through the items, worlds and venues. I didn't know about the DD back then. This went on for a few days but when I saw the Boardwalk, I decided to register my game (and obviously myself) and to buy some SimPoints in order to get it (Roller Coasters give me Sims 1 vibes XD). When I came back after the registry and SimPoints buying process to buy the venue, I was a little bit surprised to see it cheaper than last time. So I bought the venue when it was on sale via DD without knowing it! Nice timing! :D
    With the Brunch at the Old Mill I was not that fortunate. I bought it for the full price (1.900 SimPoints). When I found out about the DD later, it was a true facepalm moment... :P

    > Am I simificated if I've only played Sims 3 for 6 years?!
    Well, I guess, that counts but of course depending on the amount of time you've been spending ingame! :D

    On the "introduce yourself" forum page I wrote something about my "Sims-history" and which Sims games I've been playing up to now. I won't repeat all of it here but in short: I've been playing many of the Sims games by now, including Nintendo DS editions, Sims 1-3 for computers and Sims Medieval including its expansion pack (still one of my favourites; I must get it for my Windows 10 notebook!). I basically grew up with diverse Sims games and there are many beautiful memories of the games... including the heart attack the burglar music gave me every time in Sims 1... -.- When the first burglar showed up in Sims 3, I almost died of laughter. Not just because of the hilarious music but also because it was raining and the arrested thief was holding his umbrella behind his back while the police officer went to my bar and allowed himself a drink I mixed on that day!!! XD

    @angeljess26 Those donuts look awful good today. Thanks. *nom nom nom BUURRRP*

    @Sohera - I think a lot of us have had similar experiences with shopping in the store as you have had with Brunch at the Old Mill. Have you downloaded the official EA Exchange lots for the Old Mill?

    Your burglar story is funny. I love when the game surprises us with some of the animation or silliness. The burglar theme song does send shivers up my spine too.

    To see what @ZeeGee does with the some of the time she is in the game check out her YouTube channel for her amazing entertaining Sims series.

    @ZeeGee - Sims 4 was advertised and touted to be the next step forward. While I have played it a bit more lately, Sims 3 is still my game. Sims 5 will have to be absolutely unbelievably amazing to lure me away from Sims 3. One thing Sims 4 has in common with Sims 3 - Thank goodness for modders!

    Yes, I have. I downloaded, installed and placed it about three months ago. It looks awsome! <3
    Aaand another "series" on my watch list. :)
  • ZeeGeeZeeGee Posts: 5,355 Member
    @Me1620 Thanks for the advertisement. :kissing: I'm losing subscribers cause it's taken me so long to get the next episode out due to life circumstances but I'm 4 minutes in and plan to work on it all day!

    I have tried Sims 4 several times and just cannot get into it. I have been playing Sims 3 for 6 years and still there is so much I haven't done! My hope is that they take all the good parts of 2 and 3 to make 5 though I don't think that will happen. The thing I'm most excited about right now is that the developer of 2 and 3 is now working at Paradox on a sims-like game. They are the ones who did a take off of Sims Cities with City Skylines and took it to the next level. That is my hope for the next big life sim game!

    @Sohera It's always nice to see someone new show up who's been playing for a while. I bought Sims 3 in 2010 but didn't make an account here until the end of 2017, and I didn't start adding store content until the following summer, other than Riverview and a couple of items that came free with an expansion pack.

    When I first started buying items on the Daily Deal, I had a brief moment of thinking how silly it might appear to wake up in the middle of the night to catch a deal, but then I started reading the comments here and elsewhere and realized I had plenty of company. So no, you're not alone in either your late arrival or your approach to buying store stuff.

    @ZeeGee An interesting addendum to the story is that the Make Me an Offer items seem to have shifted after I completed the sets you made possible as well. It had been months since I'd seen good offers for anything I wanted; the store instead seemed intent on selling me items I wouldn't use even if they were free. I think it was because the last compilation I'd "bought" (for free via CYS) included a set that's similar to what MMAO was offering, so the store was somehow convinced I wanted more of the same, when in reality I only completed the compilation because I could. But the recent purchases seemed to shake something loose, and now I'm seeing much better stuff. The discounts are still hit or miss, but that's not surprising.

    @Me1620 I do enjoy the minigame aspect of buying store content, and I think that like you, I'll miss it when I'm done. Maybe you could find someone who wants a lot of store content and has the points, but who doesn't want to spend the time to plan out the sales? It might be even more fun to go through the whole process a second time, knowing better how the store works and how to plan out the various cascades.

    @Me1620 I knew that name sounded familiar but couldn't place it! I'd forgotten he's the one who delivers the computer in Sims 2. I haven't played 2 much. I looked up Alan Copeland and seems like he had a lot to do with the store and 'increasing profits' with the store. :lol: Maybe he will get headhunted by Paradox!

    @puzzlezaddict I'm so glad to hear that there are other good effects of those little gifts! It really amazed me how you were able to calculate down to a simpoint the exact right things to help you complete your sets. Makes me happy to help so much. :smile:

    I know a former simmer who has an account maxed out on simpoints. She came back on here briefly ready to gift but whoever is in charge of the store has made gifting so difficult that she gave up and went away. :cry: At least I think that's why she went away.

    @ZeeGee - Alan Copeland was responsible for the store design team in its glory years. He was highly respected by simmers. He hosted two threads Got a Store Set Idea and Got Venue Ideas where he asked for our wishes and desires for our sims. I was one of many who asked for farming equipment so our sims could have a working farm. He listened and we got Grandpa's Grove along with cows and chickens. He also listened to many people asking for "Open for Business" and restaurants which resulted in Savvy Seller's Collection and Business as Usual Bistro. His creations were so detailed such as the Amber Rose Cathedral Window from Last Venue of Amore and the Wonderfully Woven Hanging Chair from Bohemian Garden (which is one of my favourite store items.) The day he announced he was leaving was a sad day for Sims 3. Then a month later, the announcement came that Last Venue of Amore was the end of new store content. Sigh, I live in the past too much.

    It is such a shame how difficult it is to gift items. It can take 20 tries or more to have one successful transaction. I also don't understand why the cost of simpoints is not reduced given the age of this game.

    @Me1620 So Alan Copeland left Sims 3 but didn't leave EA? Looks like he's still with them. I missed those glory days. :cry: But even though I did, every time I see that thread titled "Last venue of amore" it gives me a pang of nostalgia, and I wasn't even there. So I can imagine your pain multiplied x1000.

    I agree so much. Sims 3 EPs and SPs are still full price. Simpoints are still full price. Gifting is borked, intentionally I believe. The site just keeps 'breaking' different things and it never gets fixed. There really is a market there for simpoints and gifting. If they'd throw up some discounts and fix the gifting system, they'd make a killing. But Sims 3 is the ugly stepchild and must be kept hidden as much as possible so the (not so) golden child can shine, imo.
