Petition to put simpoints on 50% off sale for 24 hours so everyone can buy them...

I have been thinking that it would be good for public relations if EA put all simpoint bundles on sale at 50% off for 24 hours for the following reasons. I am not trying to start anything negative, just point on why it would benefit both EA & us their customers.
1. Who doesn't like a sale and I for one tend to buy things when they are on sale that I don't otherwise buy at full price (simpoints being one of those items).
2. With the changes of not being able to gift the Daily Deals there have been a lot of customers that are not happy with this including me. Having the simpoints on sale and more affordable gives us back the option to gift our friends.
3. There have been lots of bugs, items not working well and reasons for some of us to have legitimate complaints. A big sale on the simpoints will smooth over most of those frustrations. I don't want to give the impression that we should not get a bug free product from EA but everyone is human and mistakes are made. I do think there should be much more testing and faster patches to correct errors in game and store stuff. That said I know I would take a 24 hour 50% off simpoint sale and feel better about past poor customer service.
4. Most of us I would think are on tight budgets and will be for the foreseeable future. Putting the simpoints on sale will make them affordable for more of us. I for one like to take a break from a busy and sometimes stressful week to enjoy a few hours of playing sims 3. Having new items keeps me interested in the game so I love being able to download new items from the store.
5. Personally I feel that most of the the store items are overpriced for what you get. If I can stock up on simpoints because they are on sale then it balances out the overpriced store items.
6. EA will make a ton of money during that 24 hours that all the simpoint sets are on sale. Many of us will stock up since we know great sales are few are far between. EA will be happy because they will get more of our hard earned money and we will be happy because we can once again have simpoints and be able to buy some extra to use for gifting items to our friends.
So I am hoping that everyone will sign this and that EA will realize that it will make money for them and it will make us as customers happy
I realize it is a long shot but nothing ventured nothing gained! So lets put our voices together and let EA know we are ready for a 24 hour no restrictions 50% off all simpoint packages.

At any rate, they DO put them on sale from time to time -- I once got them at 60% off on Origin (in other words, $4 for 1000 simpoints, a total steal.)
Another sale on points WOULD be nice, though, Store Team!
They have put them on sale before....
That would be cool.
And I'll sign this petition--but I personally don't like the terms: 50% off for 24 hours. :oops: EA needs to have 1-week monthly simpoint blowouts, I feel, where simpoints can be anywhere from 40-75% off for one week. So one month simpoints will be 50% off for a week, and the next month they might be 40% of or a week, and the next month they might be 75, and the next month they might be 60....
That would be terrific. :oops:
So every month, during a 1-week window, everyone has the chance to save at least SOMETHING and get some simpoints. It would only be for a week at a time, so that'd still leave 21 days of other simmers out there getting simpoints at full price, so it's not like having this sort of deal would KILL EA's already-fat wallets.
Come on, EA--give a little! :thumbup:
I've only got 22 simpoints left~!
I for one really like sales and it is easier to spend hard earned money when I know I am getting a good deal.
But it doesn't hurt to ask right?
If they had a simpoint sale I would buy some more, but as it stands I will have to wait. I just hope if they ever have a sale that it is not restricted to the US only or something like that.
Even though EA has allowed for six point sales in the past, it has been a long time since I have gotten a bundle on sale. It also helps justify the purchase when I tell my husband how much content I'm able to get when the points are on sale.
I really wish we could just buy SP in increments of 100 - THEN I would be purchasing in small amounts all the time because it wouldn't feel like I'm spending so much.
As of right now, I will ONLY ever spend SP on sale items, and I fear the sets I like will never go on sale.
That said.... i need to get myself a credit/visa card at some point.
^ ^ this and if they were on sale, I'd be able to convince the husband to let me buy more than usual (and the usual is not very much or very often

oh the gifting I could do *sighs*
sign me up!!!
Never hurts to dream or desire for something, cause sometimes the impossible does happen.
Cheers :thumbup: to the dreaming it might happen.
In my opinion some of their sets are over prices anyway and a 50% off sale would make up for some of their lesser quality releases.
I discovered Sims 1 summer 2001 when my youngest was 1 yr old.
I bought all Eps & Sps for Sims 2 as they were released.
I even bought Sims games for our consoles and handhelds.
I have bought all Sims 3 Eps & Sps as the were released.
I have held my grandson while playing. He is now 5 and plays FreePlay.
I have pre ordered Sims 4. I have the Sims 2 mouse and waiting on Sims 4 mouse.
I have a Freezer Bunny tattoo and a bracelet tattoo of the Sims 2 aspirations.
YES! I am addicted to The Sims no matter the form.
