Well I finally went through purchase history & filtered through what I got for those goody boxes to write a list.
I guess I get reminded how new I am to purchasing for the store, when I just realized it has a drop down menu to filter out a list..sheesh, I always do things the hard way! :oops:
I bought my 1st Simpoint bundle purchase.
(though I WISH it had been that huge one, that really packs points!)
I wasn't going to get those Goody Boxes, but curiosity got the best of me & I bought four of the 5+2s.
I feel like I was a fish, being reeled in by that awfully misleading example of bonus items. Did ANYONE actually get Sunlit Tides as a bonus in Goodie Box??
(I doubt it)...
EA KNOWS showing a pic of Sunlit Tides would get to some of us! I SHOULD have known better!
I will NEVER win what I wanted most! And yet, knowing better, I still fell for it.
I had very little Store items before I started.
I am now flat broke. But I guess it turned out better than it could have been.
Gambling on that much money, when I hardly have any to begin with, makes me nervous.
I figured I never have done this before, so what the heck.
Unfortunately, I did receive 7 goody box entire sets TWICE.

(there were 7 more item sets, but they were exact duplicates of other goody box sets!)
Today I bought a 900point decor box and ended up with 8 hair/clothing items. I know it is possible to get hair and clothing in decor boxes, and I have gotten 1 or 2 in almost ever box I have purchased, but getting 8 in one bundle is kinda excessive and annoying in my opinion, if I wanted hair and clothing I wouldn't be buying the decor boxes.
So I have now had two boxes, friends have had a few more and basically we have worked out a summary.
Each box (decor) tends to be..
A bookcase
Random house tat (plants, paintings etc)
A light fitting
(4-6 items total)
Oddly for both boxes I got a hot-tub as the bonus item and my friends got that a few times too.
Of 10 boxes we had between us no-one got a game world and only one got a premium content item - a voodoo doll which she is not even sure she can use as she does not have Supernatural.

You don't need supernatural for anything I am aware of.
ONLY expansion NEEDED for a Store item is Pets for the Auto-Noms Pet Feeder item (PC).
BTW, you checked in your purchase history for ALL items you got from boxes? They do NOT all show up when you 1st open the goodie boxes! Use the drop down menu in purchase history & click on goodie box to see those items only.
i succumbed and purchased another 1500 decor set. I was really happy with my bonuses...
Storybook Bathroom Set
Mid-Century Modern Bathroom Collection
Jet Set Elders
Romanza Ceremony, Reception + Attire
Knitted Beanie - The Coffee Bean Hipster Loft
Regal Living Bedroom Set
Mid-Century Modern Bedroom Collection
with those 2 mid-centuries and some other loose pieces i had, i was able to get the mid-century trailblazer set for 5sp!
i'm so tempted to get another one, i can't wait til they are GONE!
Bonus items of note:
spellbound diary
Island escape compilation
faire folk slumber
cow plant
forest bedroom
romance ceremony reception
hollywood regency den
The other bonus items are nothing exciting, clothing or single furniture pieces.
But then I also found out that I can download 4 other compilations for free because I own enough stuff in them. Afterwards I might be able to get other stuff pretty inexpensively.
So far my wish list dropped from 250 items to 229. After I do downloads tonight it will drop further! Whee!
I might get one more furnishing goodie box set tonight.
No worlds yet but I am not unhappy at all with my goodie box luck at this point.
...I know I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up for a world, since the only one reported on here (despite a world being the bonus example shown on the goodie box page) is people getting Hidden Springs who already had it...
But how many people post here? Probably less than 10% of people. So who knows how many worlds and other items were won and no one reported on this or any other thread. On the flip side you may be right, I wouldn't be surprised but to be fair, you can't really know.

Oh yeah. Makes sense. Many thanks.
