    @lolchick101 I hope you can do it. It took me two or three years to purchase all store worlds. I don't play them very much, but they are lovely.

    I think we need a new version of this thread: "IT'S 2021 AND I'M STILL BUYING STUFF FROM THE SIMS 3 STORE"
    And yeah, I bought some stuff for my sims this January.

    Ask and ye shall receive.

    Haven't bought anything recently from the store, but I have my eyes on... Dragon Valley... GOLD.

    But first of all I found out that I have to have the Duke of Bows venue in order to be certain of being able to get a black dragon. Sigh all these interlocking purchases that have to be made.

      I just bought something yesterday from the Daily Deal that I didn't have yet. And I thought I had everything that I wanted.

      I was a bit upset because the Daily Deal had lots and lots of things I was going to buy. XD
      There are some stuff I want, I might splurge on some stuff for my sims later this year.

      @Nikkei_Simmer Dragon Valley is a great world. It's very cute and well-made. I watched Onward a few weeks ago and I felt like playing in DV using the film as reference.

      There's way too much to buy. :D I'll probably wait on getting the full store, but go for a few venues and things that I've wanted that will come in useful in my games.

      LOL, you are silly.

      I haven't gotten anything from the store since last month. :tongue: I had some points left and wanted the Christmas dress for my selfsim. It look as good in 2021 as it did when it was first made. There's no reason not to buy things from the store in 2021 if you want the stuff. It's not like the items have been eaten by moths or anything.

      I can't buy anything I want because I only have 11 points and can't buy anymore(points) and there are no-longer ads to watch. I have my eye on a few sets for certain items in the sets but wouldn't be able to get them separately anyway.

      EA knows that as old as Sims 3 is, it has a diehard fanbase, some of which still need to collect something, and that when someone new becomes a fan they can get them to drop hundreds of dollars.

      I would even argue that the price tag on some store items is high even if Sims 3 were the current.

      They remain because they get paid.
