- I'm pretty sure @KatyFernlily meant player made custom content and script modded objects, not pirated EA store content. Or let's just assume so.
Anyway, there is a very old principle of accounting that applies here as well as to the prices of the game itself and its EP/SPs. The correct price to charge for something is that which the customer is willing to pay. :)
There are still bargains to be had within the store by leveraging the now stuck at Oct 2016 sale list, the ever-rotating Deals of the Day, the Make Me An Offer function, and the cascading Complete Your Sets once you have a few objects of a set and would like the rest of it or are working on obtaining a set that is also a subset of another. - graceymanors5 years agoLegendI like to work on "complete a set" If you buy enough of the small items, you can get pretty good discounts.There's also contests and games over on the gifting thread, you can participate in to win gifts.

This is what I've been doing for a while now, and I've "paid" a fraction of the total cost of what I've bought. If there are particular items or sets you have your eye on, you could list them in a thread in the store section and ask for help figuring out the cheapest way to get what you want. The regulars in the Daily Deal thread are also quite knowledgeable and happy to help someone get oriented.- marea_a_moon5 years agoSeasoned AceI know right? maybe if all of us stopped buying for a while they will lower the prices, or maybe close the whole thing instead lol. I advice you to use the daily deals, I found them really helpful to save money.

This I hope not.I have no decent place to backup up an entire store. - wexxam5 years agoSeasoned Ace

It sucks, I've been wanting to buy the worlds but you need to spend actual money and not simpoints on these, - marea_a_moon5 years agoSeasoned Ace

Yeah, that is too bad and almost all of them dont go on sale anyway. Which one were you hoping to get? maybe we can look for some player-made world that gives the same vibes. "GraceyManor;c-17638871" wrote:

@GraceyManor I have everything from the Store, except some of the early branded stuff, and it only takes up 11,1GB. So it should be easy for you to find ways to store your Store items (pun not intended).
For example you could buy a couple of 32GB USB-sticks, and you can also use the hard drive from your last laptop that recently died. Just buy a hard drive case, put the salvaged HDD in there and voila you got a new external hard drive all of a sudden without any extra cost. :)- Fluteline245 years agoSeasoned AceThat's why I've never, ever bought anything from the store. Complete rip off!

That's exactly what I meant!
