DYI: was about to buy a set that I thought was still on sale. Apparently the March Mayhem weekly sales for 3/9- 3/16 are already over but the Ultra lounge set is still in the vault, though that is dated for 3/17. We are currently in an EA time warp I guess. Why EA, why do you take a good thing and make it a bad thing?

Crin: This is why I love your S3S browser. It makes it so easy to check if you already own an item from the store. I check it before making a purchase from the sims3 store every time. It works so well and it is easy to install and navigate. Thank you so much for making this program available to the community.

This is so people can buy the same content twice if they are not aware they already have the stuff in a different set.

Since this sets won’t show as own if you already have everything in a different set, it’s a good way to make more money.

Well I am an “impulse” buyer. When the set came out it was listed as a limited time sale. So I bought it while it was on sale just to get a few of the items. Well now they have split them up. If I had known they were going to do that I would have waited. But was under the impression it was on sale….Let the buyer beware I guess….god I hate EA. The bathroom set is horrible. that ugly yellow line cannot be recolored.

correction: new store release announcement. It’s just there for players to buy it if one wanted one set, but didn’t want to pay for the premium content.

We still have next week for new sets potentially…

Not really… It’s their form of releasing a giant compilation so players can impulse buy it, then for those who choose to wait they can purchase these smaller subversion sets so they can afford to buy them. Taking into consideration the “Final Frontier” and the “Mid Century Trailblazer” Sets both have the “Not So Routine Machine” making players pay for the premium content item if they were gifted, etc.

It’s not a “new” set, nor is there a new store release :\

I’ve seen other companies do it too.
