Missing SimPoints, shorted SimPoints
Ok, on Black Friday I broke down and brought several items. I brought them though Origin. According to The Sims 3 web site, both of these are suppose to come with 100 Sim Points, unless if you buy th...

ramble away sometimes thats good to do as it gets a load off the chest 🙂 any store world shos up in the main menu +new game to start playing with now as to the worlds showing up as to buy that has been know to happen too usually the soloution is to
sometimes when you start the game you see a little money icon next to your world although you already bought and installed it this is just the ingame store not recognizing properly that you have already bought it.
from crins FAQ Scroll down further down the list to see if there's a second version that doesn't have the icon to start a new game with. You can also turn off the ingame shop in your options and then it should only appear once, if store items that have been downloaded and installed still do not appear there is another work around for that
store worlds once they show up in your purchase history can be downloaded anytime but here's a tip for you in your the electronics arts /the sims 3 there is a folder named downloads any store item you buy and download the file for it is there (just open it to see your files then close it ) here's the tip you can make a copy of that folder as a back up and any time you download something make a fresh copy of the folder so that if you ever have to do a clean reinstall you can just install your store items from your back up copy of the downloads folder
believe you me i so understand about trying to get a few bob together for getting our little pixelated items i have to budget too sometimes it can take me 3 months to get a $20 ea cash card but i'm like a kid at christmas when i get that card :D
now some times the issues of not downloading is switching browsers to IE or firefox also clearing the internet cache
now as for the helpers here we will do what we can to get most problems solved that is within our grasp others it is the CS people espically when it comes to looking at accounts and fixing up the simpoints issues etc etc
Actually they was for Worlds I do not own though they are on my list to aquire eventually. They had the little coins next to them and if I choose one of them it would give me the option to buy it and told me how many SimPoints they cost. It was the first time I have ever seen it. They do not show up anylonger, not since I went ahead and installed the download verson of Monte Vista. Has far as turning off the ingame shop, I can not find the option to turn it off and it really doesn't brother me that much since I usually play off line not online.
Has far as the download directory, I find that the very first day and was copying anything and everything I was downloading, all of my bonus content, rewards content and everything else. I have it all saved and originze so if I ever have to reinstall I can without having to connect and redownload. It's going to come in very handy when the rest of my purchased disc's arrive. I am going to install it on my desktop which though it has the same 4gb ram my laptop has, it has a much better video graphics setup and it's processor is a 6 core 3.2ghz Intel where the laptop is only a dual core 2,2ghz Intel. The desktop also has a slightly larger screen. It's 20" where the laptop is only 17". I've also found where the Origin Client REALLY downloads and stores the installers and have backup the 3 Direct Download Packs I own.

i have shop mode turned off i only turn it on when i need to like see if some of the premium content is for induvidual sale to turn it off go to the three dots options in the 3rd tab i think it's the 3rd one and untick enable shop mode then tick accept or kudos to crin for this one
- Open the file [user data directory]\Options.ini with notepad (or any other editor)
- Search for the following line: enableingamestore = and put 0 to turn the ingame store off and 1 to turn it on.
- Save the file
- Start the game
Opps I missed it in the General Tab, but like I said, it does not brother me. If it ever does I will turn it off.
Had something interesting happens with my shipments. Last week I made 2 orders but due to the holidays, neither was shipped till this past Monday.
Package 1, which contains the 1st order with 3 expansions and a stuff pack is according to it's tracking number suppose to arrive next Monday.
Package 2, which contains the 2nd order and contains only 1 expansion pack was due to arrived today.
Package 2 arrived today but it did not contain order #2 but contained order #1.
I have doubled checked the tracking numbers and I do not have them switched. I am hoping that when package #1 arrives on Monday it will have order #2 in it.
I think it is so funny that they got the tacking numbers for the 2 orders switched. Lynn does too. She thinks it is a riot. Now I need to decide if I want to go ahead and install these or wait or the last expansion pack. I had originally decided to wait till I have all of them but now I am considering going ahead and installing. I want to install them in the order they was released, I know I do not need too, but that is what I had decided and the missing order has the latest pack that was release that I own, Island Paradise. I have not yet brought Into The Future. I'm saving it for a "Future" purchase. :D
