It's 2020 and I'm still buying stuff from the sims 3 store

Thank you all for your "input" on this thread. Never having been much of a store purchaser before, and after buying the "entire TS3" series on a big steam sale a few years ago, I thought I had it all. This thread prompted me to take a closer look. I had no idea there were so many worlds that I didn't have, not to mention individual items and venues. After discovering I could play rotationally thanks to NRaas, TS3 have become equal to TS2 as for my love of all things Sims. It looks like I do indeed have a lot more money to spend.

That store is incredibly dangerous...

...on the life-expectancy...of one's finances. :mrgreen:

I've been very fortunate to have been gifted many things - worlds, venues, sets, individual items - but have also parted with much of my own money over the years both on items for myself and to gift to others. The Store contains some gems that I couldn't imagine not having in my game!

the only thing i don't like about the store is i can't seem to download in bulk. I have to download things 1 by 1 which is a pain when reinstalling after a new hard drive or something.

The 'select all' just doesn't work on modern browsers it seems. I tried with several none of them work.

I've only just noticed I seem to magically have the greenhouse.. was your friend or someone else??
if it was her tell her thank you so much <3

I keep store content backed up on a thumb drive and external hard drive (and a backup of those!) so it's easy to move it to a new hard drive. The download is pretty bad if starting over.

ugh i just bought another 10,000 simpoints
what's wrong with me :'(

ok after buying everything i could i had 800 simpoints left over which wasn't enough for other stuff i want so gifted what little i could to others who posted their wishlist on here :)

15 simpoints left. RIP

I own all worlds and venues. There’s a ton of build/buy stuff I don’t have.....yet. Just spent about 5k simpoints this past week actually.

I bought 1000 sim points over the weekend, bought two things to complete sets, and I think I got double-charged, because the web browser glitched, I refreshed, and now I have the items I bought twice in my purchase history. I talked to tech support and they were unable to help me. So I have about 300 points left and I dunno what to do with them yet.
