Hey @LadybugLeslie hope everyone is feeling better today :smile: I'm not sure if you've looked at the Romanza set but I thought I'd put it out there since the full set is coming up on the DD in a couple of days. I've noticed that a few people try to complete the Romanza Ceremony + Reception 485 spts and Romanza Ceremony + Attire 636 spts. Both of these sets aren't CYS enabled and it seems like a way better deal to go for the full set "Romanza Ceremony, Reception + Attire which is enabled and on the current DD list at a great deal - 71% off! The set's full value is 1160. I currently own 8 of 39 items that have a value of 335 or 27% CYS. When I plug the numbers into Eliana's calculator using DD # 662 it says I will owe 5 spts. So, instead of spending 1121 spts (485+636) I can get both sets for 340 spts using DD # 662.
There are currently 8 items from this complete set on the DD. Those item's value add up to 228 spts but would only cost 142 spts to buy thru the DD. Pick up another 110 spts value and you can have both sets for approximately 252 points (142 + 110). It would be impossible for people to go this route at this point since all of the deals will occur after 662 but it's certainly worth consideration to start now and get 662 when it comes around again. Like before, I would appreciate it if you would please double and triple check my numbers to be sure :smile:
The kids had a relapse over the weekend and we missed our superbowl party :disappointed: But they are both on the upward swing now! AND.... I'm pregnant! And I'm just starting to have some morning sickness, so that's why I've been a little quiet on the forum. I am napping a lot in the afternoons, which is highly unusual for me, so that is cutting into my sims/forum time.
But as to your romanza info-yes! This is how I'm personally planning to get the set :) I just wasn't sure if people were interested in this kind of info, since I mostly just copy and paste the info from the "part of set" tab on the
Awesome DD spreadsheet.
You need a CYS of 740 to get the set free on DD, which means you need items totaling up to 338 SPV. And as you said, there is 228 SPV on the DD list, which just leaves you 110 SPV short. Although, unless you are able to get the other 110 SPV on sale or as a gift, you are better off just paying the DD cys, which will be 98 sp. There are also two items in the Quaint Cottage Collection that aren't on the DD list, and 2 items that are also in the Monarch Suite, so some people might be able to get a little more SPV from the featured looks.
Maybe I should make the second post on the thread just for things like this, not exactly cascades, but still the cheapest way to acquire sets... Thoughts?
