I own everything in the Sims 3 store and even purchased many expansions and stuff packs a second time to switch to disk-only install to 1.67. According to my records, I have spent a total of $1019.04 for everything. I did use the daily deals and got a lot of stuff for cheap and free. According to my spreadsheet, I saved 67% doing this.
Thank you for sharing!
Today, I bough the Ballet barre (full price) and the Gentleman's Lounge (Daily Deal). I have a long wishlist, but I am not paying full price for these things. I do not trust that this game will even be working in a year. If I could save store content and install it to an offline computer, that would be different. All our games are ticking time bombs just waiting for a Windows update to break them and EA deciding not to fix it. These prices are too high for such an old game.
The Ballet Barre cannot be applied to a discount towards the larger package. The package is full price despite owning part of the pack already.
I want the tea set, but I cannot buy it unless I purchase the entire Brunch set.
Maybe they don't want us stocking up on things for a ticking timebomb, that is also competition for the Sims 4.
