In the past, After Thanksgiving sales for the Sims 3 Store have been announced ahead of time and started on Black Friday. As this year there was no announcement or Black Fri. sales, it appears there are no plans for these sales to return.
However, so many faithful Sims 3 player are still here and we would love to see the After Thanksgiving sales come back!
The Complete a Set thread has dozens of new entries daily along with the Mafia games (where Simmers can win Store prizes,) which rack up thousands of views. Many of us are trying to complete our Store collections as the Sims 3 wraps up. Others have just begun their Sims 3 experience and they, too, are eager for good deals in the Sims 3 Store.
I hope the Blackout Sales/C.yber Monday are on the way!! If you feel the same, please sign your username in this thread. If you'd like, you may leave a note explaining why you'd like to see the sales this year.
To get an idea of the deals we are missing, here are the BF/CM sales from the past two years:
Update: The Sims 3 home page may show a "Black Out Weekend" banner with ads for 50% off venues. However, it is currently not functional as if you choose "Buy Now," the site will take you to the Sales page where there are no such deals. It's possible that the banners could be updated with current sales, as they were updated just a few days ago with Black Friday specials for the Sims 4 and Sims FreePlay (Red) ads.
Even if After Thanksgiving sales are not reinstated, this is a step toward letting EA know we are still here and we would appreciate seeing the Sims 3 Store updated/maintained. Every signature counts. Please keep up your support!
There are many simmers just waiting to part with their cash and simpoints... surely it's a win/win situation: simmers complete their sets/collections, EA makes more money.
Cannot for the life of me understand why a BF/CM sale hasn't been implemented in the Sims 3 Store this year. Well, I can guess... but no point in sharing my thoughts.
I just hope that EA realises that they cannot force people to buy Sims 4.
This might help, store.thesims3.com
It is only 50% off a venue Friday Saturday and Sunday. I haven't figured out which ones yet
Everything you are see on the store page that is advertising Blackout weekend is from last year. Roaring Heights, Mother Russia, the CYS and Blackout weekend is last year. So we are not getting any this year or one of the SimGuru's would had already made an announcement before they left for the holidays.
SIGNED! Been a loyal simmer since Sims 1 and can't help but feel dropped by EA. I don't want Sims 4 and will NOT buy it. If EA was smart, it would keep the Sims 3 & Sims 4. But I guess they realized if both were operating at the same time, Sims 3 would out beat the Sims 4 each time! Too bad though, I hate to see Sims 3 go. Why not come out with more expansions? We were all dying for a real Open for Business type expansion pack. I also wanted a real vacation pack as opposed to Adventures. I liked the Sims 1 & 2 vacation. Too bad this will never happen.
Signed. I clicked the Black Friday link, which I only saw today, and nothing :( I love how nearly 3 days of the black Friday sales have gone with no actual sales :(
I was really disappointed about the lack of of a Black Friday sale. I just started replaying TS3 in February, so I'm only just starting on my store collection... and I have a long way to go. :\

It's a good chance to complete sets and c.yber monday seems a tradition.
