Hey Jodi! Great to see this new thread up and running.
Like Sandi I was so worried when you said that you had one of those 'needs approval' messages, I had a 'pending' post that was never approved and there have been several other reports that the approval system was broken. Considering the immense amount of work you have put in to collecting and organising all this information it would have been heart-breaking to have to rebuild it.
You, my friend, have created something wonderful here; the scale of your ambition and what you've done so far is amazing! :star:
You are so sweet to tell me I have done a wonderful job when I based a lot of the information on your previous threads. I am grateful the first post was approved and is not still stuck in a "pending" state. Thanks for posting the goodies and adding to our holiday treats.

Can anyone confirm if the store shows you own an item if you received it from Origin as bonus content? For example, if you received Mother Russia for buying Seasons, does it show as being owned in the store? I seem to recall problems with the Aims Co. Choc-O-Falls Fountain. ....
If you used a code from Monte Vista to get the Aims Co. Choc-O-Falls Fountain, it will not show as owned or count for CYS until you go through customer service to get it marked as the promo-code one is numbered differently from the store one. With regards to the bonus items from Origin, I did receive The Coffee Bean Hipster Loft last year via Origin code with the purchase of...something? (I want to say Showtime) during the Black Friday sale and it immediately showed as owned after entering the code.
Edit: After going through my purchase history, I can also confirm Grandpa's Grove (Pets) and Seeing Stars (not sure; maybe this was the Showtime one?) as bonus content via Origin showed up as owned.
@calents - Thanks for confirming. I will update the section "How Do I Know How Much of the Store I Own " to warn people about the chocolate fountain.

This is fantastic, Jodi! Wonderful work. I am so excited to move into our new home.
(I start unpacking boxes as the University Llama shows up and places a bucket of stuff at our front door.)
While I don't mind a hackey sack, I sure wish he brought a free computer like that guy in the first sims game. :)
@Trithone - Glad you found our new home. You made me laugh. The computer from Will Wright was definitely better than the university promo items from that silly llama.

:::munchies cookies, flop fudge and mince pies::: yum!! I brought cheese crispies (sorry, no pic, but they are good) and they are spicy hot!!

Jodi, a special big hug and thank you for hosting and doing all that work. I'm thrilled that you didn't lose the post and that it got approved. Maybe they did fix something! :) Your organization skills are a marvel. Can you help me with my piles of junk? hehe I'm slowly working thru them and making myself donate or trash stuff and only keeping things that are very special to me.
These virtual parties make me hungry. Thanks for the hug. You are making me blush complimenting me on my organization skills. One of these days I should post a picture of my OE computer desk; definitely not as neat as my sims' desks.
@HBSIMSTER - Thanks for posting the lovely poem. It is a wonderful message. I am glad you like the thread.
@p-para-Xylene - Good luck backing up your items. I still have to add information in that section on page 1.
@simgeek79 - Dani, I hope by now your son is home. If he isn't I hope that the infection has cleared up and he will be home soon.
@j8k9 - Thanks for the pat on the back. I appreciate it.

when I added seasons I got mother russia free and it shows the items as owne but not the set which is silly to me why not the set since I own it all lol
Thanks for confirming. Definitely silly. Maybe all the problems the store team has with their database is a major reason the Sims 4 does not have an online store.
@despina - Dee, always nice to see you. Merry Christmas.
@AnomilyMiyu - Thank you for posting about the sales. I created a News section on page 1 (another idea borrowed from ajaxpost :smiley: )

Anyhoo I don't know if you remember me? I was the one who always sat quietly and politely in the back o:) @Me1620 this is awesome and extensive work! :love: It's all so shiny and new :hushed: I've been lurking but I wanted to stick my nose in at this historic moment :kissing_heart:
@AlphaFen - So glad you reintroduced yourself. I almost didn't notice you sitting so quietly and politely in the back. I hope you don't lurk but keep posting.
@kuroi_nekomata - So good to see you again. How awful that it has taken so long for the renovations of your apartment. Seeing you reminds me that one day when I play the game, I do plan on trying the
farming challenge you created so long ago.
@kellycot1 - So glad you popped in for a chat.
@Ktarian - Thanks for advertising the thread in your signature.

@MysticOstrich08 - If you are still stalking the deals keep us posted on your progress.
Phew - I am caught up. Well, caught up responding to posts, not caught up with entering all the information on page 1 yet.
