Sorry for asking on this forum, but it's where I feel most comnfortable asking.
I keep umming and ahhing about splashing out on the Hewnsman set, while it's on sale. But I've read something about the door and arch being broken, and I'm sure ages ago AznSensei or other mentioned that there are duplicate items.
Since I so rarely spend on me, and would be happy to hold onto the points for future gifting/purchases, can anyone tell me if the sale is still a good offer despite the faults with it? Or am I better off saving my points? I'm leaning towards saving my points, but if anyone uses the set in game a lot and likes it then I coulöd be tempted to splurge.

It depends how much it'll be discounted and if you like the other parts of the set. If you're going to get the full set with higher than 50% discount, then it's a great deal even with the broken door (all of them are broken). I must admit that I really enjoy it and its current price (1'100 SimPoints) is acceptable. 11 items aren't working properly (can't be recolored, include gaps). 36 items are working fine. If we decide not to count the broken stuff as a part of the set, then it costs only 30,(5) SimPoints per item which is a quite great deal (at least to me).

Hope I helped.
What is more, fences and stairs can't be recolored. It's a negative aspect of this set which I used to call as a glitch too.
I understand what you are saying, thanks for the information
if you don't get the set, the lamps are pretty nice as individual items
I think that's what I might do, start breaking down these sets and adding items individually, that way I'll be able to build up the parts I want over time - after all I've got a lot of new stuff to play with this week already - and it's a new month tomorrow, which means more content!!
Thanks guys!!
PS- If anyone knows where the links are for those fences... I'dappreciate the info!
ETA: AND they're showing up in game, hooray! So, yeah, I am no longer upset, haha!
I ended up getting the full set while it's on sale. Sure, there's some awkwardness, but I've still found uses for many of the items. Enough to be worth the sale price.

Imperfections and all I really enjoy the set. I like the wood color, found the fences and railings no problem, and gound that a few other doors work as well and those doors can be recolored to match whatever.
