What to buy with 990 sim points?
Hey there, I'm getting back into the Sims 3, and I'm very pleased to see the store isn't closed yet. That said, I have no clue how to download all my points again. I also used to have a file with all...

I like to get the compilations and sets after I've bought a few items already in them. The price gets more discounted on all of those items together and even more so when you already own some items, than getting them individually. If I take some time to look around I find things I have belonging to one compilation or another, or set. Getting something in the Daily Deal and then looking through what compilations or sets its affected is fun. 990 ought to get one or two sets, especially discounted ones. I still find odd interesting things in my build-buy catalogue which came with sets.
There shouldn't be any problem re-downloading if you've still got the same account you bought them on. I find that already having the launcher open helps, and don't download too many at once. I find that maybe 4 or 5 items at a time, by clicking on the ticks and then download, wait until they're finished and then do the next one's. Maybe write them down as you go, in case you have to refresh and lose your spot. Something like that. If you don't have your launcher already open you might wonder what's going on while it is loading it all up to open and then download. And, I can't remember if they automatically install or not, so you'll have to go over to the installed items tab in your launcher to check if they're installed and if not then you need to do that too.
Your file with all the store content won't automatically receive the new store content if its just a sub-folder of your downloads folder. You'd have to slot all of that in yourself after.
Fun!
Thank you so much. I got it figured out, and hopefully working. I spent the past few hours remembering how to get the GPU recognized, and install mods. If only I could figure out what's going on with my EA profile!
Compliations was a great suggestion; unfortunately a lot of my favorite stuff doesn't qualify for completing my set, but oh well.
I have a question for you, do you prefer getting venues/clothing/hair, or items that add new gameplay? I have some of the gameplay items, such as the greenhouse and tablet, and the toddler's playpen. While I really enjoy them for grinding out skills, they are quite overpowered! It's also hard to judge whether an item will actually add a decent amount of gameplay, or if it's more of a novelty?
