I haven't bought anything from the Store since the Devs wrecked the free points you could get for watching ads.
I used to buy the Simpoint cards, but they haven't been available for about 5 years.

I don't know why the ads disappared, but I think it was really REALLY sad that they did. :'( I loved those pretty little blue boxes :) they paid for somewhere around 60-70 % of my Store content.

When I was SimPoint hunting back then from March until October 2014, I reached the upper limit 35000 SimPoints three times, and I bought quite a few things on the way up each time, so I estimate that I got a total of around 120000 SP's from running all those ad videos, I never actually watched them though, only started them and then collected the SP's when they finished.

@SuzyCue72, I was disappointed when they removed them in or around june/July 2017 myself. They had disabled them so that the techs over there could find out why they ads had stopped working. The ads were playing, they just wasn't paying out the simpoints like they should had been doing. I wished that they had found out what the problem was and had them put back up... :cry: I had gotten a lot of stuff from the store just because of those ads were there. Oh the good old days... :cry:
