    This is awesome. I did the same thing a while back. Would have loved this to follow. I'll bookmark for reference. The store is so confusing these days, lol. Thank you sweetie. :D

    I just wanted to mention that the April 2013 Compilation has been recently added to Complete Your Set. I own the Country Living set and could now get Tutor of Tudors (in the Compilation) for 700SP.

    Keep up the great work. I'm getting ready to redownload and reinstall my Store stuff soon and this thread will help a lot. Bookmarked.

    if you downloade and install overlapping is that a problem for your game? what will it do?

    Currently, I have lots of overlap but I don't think there is a problem but knowing there is an overlap bothers me so I plan to soon re-download for less maybe it will me better performance maybe not but I think it is just a personal preference and a re-download time thing :)

    thank you

    1 more question: (sorry if I make many)

    January 2012 Compilation -> New Year, New Kitchen! + Year of the Dragon Set
    but what about the classic set? is that in an other compilation because I can't find it?



    also this is interesting... to note
    I got “Blast From the Past Compilation” do to owning it individually, but I still can’t downloade “Mid-Century Modern Bed and Bath Set” the “Mid-Century Fantasy” is no problem

    They way I have it set up is that to avoid overlap and still have the minimal downloads to download 'Best of 2012 Compilation' is more efficient and where that compilation over laps better lies with breaking down or not downloading the others it overlaps with: like Enchanted Bundle of Dark Dealings [Covered by having: January 2012 Compilation + Gothique Library], January 2012 Compilation -> New Year, New Kitchen! + Year of the Dragon Set but it is better to download for lest over lap:

    Best of 2012 Compilation + Gothique Library + New Year, New Kitchen! + Year of the Dragon Set + Killer Classics

    instead of less downloads and more overlap:

    Best of 2012 Compilation, January 2012 Compilation, Enchanted Bundle of Dark Dealings

    I hope that makes sense :)

    The classics sets is covered in Killer classics (under sets :) )


    It is cause the store doesn't have them apart of Complete Your Set yet, which I hoped would be fixed by now D:

    I think it makes sense....
    I think I need to do the with an extra monitor... because some things I can't do as it isn't part of complet your set... even when you got it all... sigh...


    1 more question..

    Yes it should be (unless I missed something) just The Classics Welcome Back to Three Lakes and Killer Classics was a unique case, like Killer classics covers the set in a compilation instead of having the cow plant items as singles I decided to have Killer Classics under sets instead of January 2012 Compilation (New Year, New Kitchen! + Year of the Dragon Set + The Classics Welcome Back to Three Lakes).

    :)

    Yeah, the idea is to minimize dups and download time as best possible I don't know if we can get perfection but definitely easier more helpful than download everything or a bunch of singles.

    Many thanks for this tool.

    :?: Hibiscus Trio Set

    It was one of the first PC Items. Then it was in with gifts for a while (they keep rearranging things) when it got demoted because evidently it doesn't DO anything. Now it is in the Build section under Plants.

    http://store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?categoryId=&scategoryId=13819&pcategoryId=&index=0&productId=OFB-SIM3:55394

    It is still listed as a Set, not available for Complete your Set blah blah blah . I looked and looked on your lovely list because it is still on my wishlist and I want to keep track. I have several varieties of hibiscus in my gardens and want my Sims to have some too someday :-)


    What do I put for a signature once I have been gifted so much that I own The Store? anybody? Bueller?

    Well I finally decided to see what the damage would be to own the store. I need to complete 3 complications (at 18%, 38% and 60%), 8 Sets (3%, 16%, 20%, 35%, 38%, 40%, 70% and 77%), about 100 ish singles (I'll probably only get 60ish not sure yet) and 1 2 item set I probably will skip. Then I own the store, why on earth I feel the need to do this :P well I am a collector type :P ;) I may not get every single unless they do a single item compilation but I think I'll be the 90% owner of the store eventually :D :P Well beside single items I think I'll own all sets besides Transport to the future 2 item set. :P ;)

    Yea My hope is just right now that they make those sets I collected individually able for CYS

    and that they make 1 or 2 sets of the single items... that works with CYS.....

    I do not see why they haven't finished doing CYS for everything? I mean brand new stuff I can expect a grace period that it won't be available (make their money yada yada). But older stuff what is the hold up? :roll:

    I understand that too... I just wish that anything 3 months or older was part of CYS...


    well actually I wished they had a you own all we send out in 2010... here 1 downloade
    2011... 1 downloade....
    and so on... and did that as a super complication downloade in june every year... for the stuff from year before...

    So I re-downloaded (worlds were golds) and besides 10 sets and 3 compilations (I don't have) it took me about 2 hours to download this list. Just a FYI :)
