Basically this tells me that EA probably won’t release another stuff pack or expansion. Since people were begging for Sims 3 magic edition, they made the Bella Goth magic stand book (what ever it is called) and the whole magic set. Which is basically the same thing as the magic book stand in Sims 1 and most of the stuff in Sims 1 Makin Magic expansion (which I know because I own Sims 1 complete edition)

That’s what I did, disabled internet and turned off shop mode and it worked 🙂

WOW. EA makes me sick these days. All they care about is making money and not enough about the player’s wishes and problems like they did back in the day. They already make enough money selling the game, and now adverting in the game? wow unbelievable.

Hurray! I managed to fix my own problem by following the advice in this article: http://simsvip.com/?p=4177. I should have looked in my Purchase History first. My bad. Thanks for writing all these articles.

Okay, so I just yesterday installed patch 1.29 because I was hesitating. Most patches break my game, that’s why.

I knew about this all along, though. I wasn’t surprised when I saw the new boxes in my buy mode. What I was surprised of was that a few items were being offered for 0 SimPoints. Weird, huh? Those were the Dr. Pepper loveseat and some others. I got all excited (freebies!) and click “buy”. It started loading…unfortunately the loading never ended and the only thing that it really did was to lag up my game, after which I had to end the process through task manager. I don’t know why it did what it did, but I am willing to find out why.

Have you been able to successfully “obtain” the Dr. Pepper (supposedly 0 SimPoint costing) items through this in-game feature?
