@Anniemary - thank you for the piece of Live, Laugh, Love. <3 For those looking for Bohemian Garden, the DD spreadsheet lists it as starting at Mar/12/15 1:19 AM UTC.
I got a great deal on MMAO -- three single items, all from sets I wanted, 44% discount -- and instead of clicking buy, I clicked to cancel the offer. Curse my misclicking finger!
Hi, all! I'm working on Live, Laugh, Love, and also would love to be able to get a couple more pieces of the Boho Vintage Women's Collection before it comes up on the DD. Thank you :)
Thanks to kind gifters, I got a green download for Nautical Living, which them gave me a green download for Sandy Shoals Sea Shanty (trying saying that three times fast), which added items to various other sets. And I even saw a few ads. Good day at the store!
Oh, my goodness! Syndicate! Wow, that brings back some very old memories. I might pick it up just get to use the 'persuadertron' again. (One of those would be so incredibly useful in real life.)
Congratulations, @ajaxpost! It's been an awesome couple of days on DD -- I got the Greenhouse, the Bistro, and thanks to awesomely generous gifters I got a green download on the Boho Men's clothes *\o/*. And then, the Greenhouse gave me Best of 2012, April 2012 -- lots of stuff! Ads have been stingy to me lately, meaning I…
@Reachsims, thank you for the Men's Boho pieces - I should now have a green button, or pretty close, when the set come up on Tuesday. @simgeek79, the Puzzled Wall Sculpture will definitely help with the Spy Glass set, thank you. And @Ximph, thanks for the Topsy Turvey Window and, wow, the Large as Life Movie Screen! That…
Thank you @monday_34 for gifting me Left Field Sensation. I'm chipping away at the Boho set! Ads are being painfully stingy for me at the moment (maybe a new month will make them more generous) but I think, fingers crossed, I should be able to get both Boho Men and the Greenhouse when they come up in the next few days.
Thank you @DebBolckow2 for the pieces of Bohemian Garden and the Count M coat. I think that the Garden should be green now when it comes round on DD \o/
I've been successfully escaping from the Tomcat errors by logging out of the store and deleting the sims store cookies in my browser. When I refresh the store page and log back in, I get a connection to a working store server again.
Thank you to @KSkywalker4571 and @scillakees for the pieces of Imperial Bedroom Zen and Mediterranean Villa Kitchen/Dining. That got me close enough that I could finish the July 2011 Compilation Set and World Inspiration Compilation while keeping inside my 'OMG, must have the points for the Greenhouse!' budget. <3
@Cynth220 - the Bohemian Garden is coming up at a really good DD discount in just a few weeks, so if you can wait until March then you'll already get it for free.
@Cynth220 - if your CYS is 735, then you will need to add items with a full-price value of ~820sp to get a green download button. That assumes that the sets will be bought at full price, rather than DD/sale. (It also assumes that none of the items you add are venues, which as far as I understand can count for a different…
There's an awesome CYS/DD calculator here that I've found to be pretty accurate when figuring out how much extra I need to get a green button: http://elianahere.jwhostings.net/
Thank you to @bcsmas and @MRSMLOG for pieces of the Hacienda Luxury set. I should now get a green download when it comes round on the DD. Thank you @melaniet1020 for the piece of Imperial Bedroom Zen. I'm really, really close to the World Inspiration Compilation going green!
@SpiderCrowWolf - Yes, I think 212 is right. I can only see two items on your list now (Haute Hip Dining Chair and Haute Hip Bookshelf) but as long as the other item was worth more than 71sp you should be good. The only possible caveat is that, as I understand it, there are some rounding issues that might lead to the price…
@SpiderCrowWolf - as I understand it, the percentage complete figure is pretty much meaningless. All that matters for the CYS is the value of items. For CYS, there is a big initial discount where the first item knocks 10% off the full price. But after that, each item simply reduces the CYS by 90% of its own full value. I.e…
@simgeek79 - thank you for the lamp! @Nevills - do you have the Ultra Kitchen and Bath, and if not, what is you CYS on the Best of 2010? If the DD list rotates again, then Best of 2010 will come up on March 25th for a good discount. I think if your CYS is around 2200 or less it should be free. That includes Ultra Kitchen…
@Ximph - thank you so much for the door! That put a lovely big dent in my Hacienda Luxury CYS. I had a friend at school who had SIX younger sisters. Apparently her parents were very optimistic types.
Thank you for the gifts, @simgeek79 and @Nevills. My store seems to have become an ad-free zone for the last couple of days, so all help with completing sets is very much appreciated. I feel like I daren't spend sp because I need to make sure I have enough for the Greenhouse when that comes round. @ElimarnaElimarna - yay…
@ajaxpost has a brilliant guide for those ads, and I've never had them not pay out when I follow his instructions: http://ajax-tum.tumblr.com/post/106639137159/collecting-simpoints-on-sponsored-ads-that-dont
