Why is the Sims 3 store still so expensive???

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.

I 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.

I 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.

maybe close the whole thing instead lol

This I hope not.I have no decent place to backup up an entire store.

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

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.

That's why I've never, ever bought anything from the store. Complete rip off!

That's exactly what I meant!

Why should it go down in price? Sometimes things just end without getting cheaper. Just because it's old doesn't mean they have to give it away - is my view.

Greed? If people don't think it's worth it, they won't buy it. I don't buy TS4 even if it's free. Sometimes, prices even goes up when it's older. :lol:
