    in The Sims 3 General Discussion
    Ok so I was just about to buy some simpoints so that I could purchase Sunlit Tides. I saw something that said "Redeem simpoints" so I clicked on it and it said "Thank you for registering your game, you have been credited 1000 simpoints".... what in the world is this?? I already have my game registered and I just got 1000 FREE simpoints! So now its only going to cost me like half of the price that Sunlit Tides originally costs. Not that I'm complaining at all... but how did this happen?!

      Hi! :) Congrats on your free points!

      Most likely you didn't redeem the points from when you first registered the game, the free points were included with the base game

      Happy Simming & Buying ^_^

      Hi there, did you have a lot of time without logging in? we had an issue some time ago but it should not be a "new button" that appeared today.
      thanks!

      No, I definitely redeemed mine when I registered but this also happened to me. It's not something I'm going to question, though. LOL :mrgreen:

      No Ive stay logged into my account pretty much everyday for the past few weeks or so. I haven't looked at my account info or tried to buy any simpoints for a while though so maybe its been there for a long time and I just now noticed it.
