@jordand Some of them I got during a recent store-wide Origin sale (the worlds you have buy with actual $$$ rather than SimPoints). That's what this thread was originally about. Everything was 30% off, but sadly that sale has ended.
The rest I got "on sale" using Make Me an Offer (MMAO). Percentages off vary, but usually seemed to hover (for me) between 20-25% off at best. The absolute best deal I ever saw for a world was 30% off, but I stupidly passed on it without thinking even though it came with sets I wanted and would've used (d'oh!). Oftentimes the deals are worse though, like only 10-15% off, so I'd suggest waiting (another day or two or twenty or however long it takes for the world to pop up again) if that's what the offer is.
Maybe others can chime in if they've seen better offers on there. For all I know, I paid too much for every world I ever got that way (which would be all of them), lol.
They also come bundled with other MMAO items, obviously, so it can be a long waiting game unless you happen to like the sets/items MMAO throws at you when the world pops up. The ones I got today thankfully came with only a few small, individual items each. Midnight Hollow Gold came with just a dress and an outfit, which was fantastic and I bought it instantly (well, frantically, :smiley:). Lunar Lakes came with two dresses, a semi-decent-looking hairstyle and a skirt (I actually momentarily considered passing on this offer, but then knew I'd hate myself for not completing my collection :)).
Sunlit Tides can also be found (and I wish I'd known this prior to buying it through MMAO because it would've saved me around 1,000 SimPoints) on the Daily Deal rotation. The next time it's coming up looks to be on February 8th at 12:30 a.m. Pacific Time. It'll be a mere 1127 SimPoints (the price I wish all worlds cost). That's the only world that can be found on the Daily Deals, so grabbing that and then waiting for the Serenity Retreat to go on Daily Deal essentially gets you the "Gold" version for way cheaper than usual!
Hope this helps!
