If she doesn't live in the United States her cost could be higher for the same amount of Simpoints.
I guess, but she needs to clarify that because otherwise I assume it's US dollars. I don't live in the US but I can only pay in USD if I buy anything on Origin, including SimPoints. In fact, Lucky Palms is waaaaay cheaper if I buy a bundle. For example, I can buy 5000 SimPoints for US$ 27 (
CHECK) and buy the Gold Edition (3550 SimPoints) and have extra points to buy other things for only $2 than what it supposedly costs the Standard Edition.
The conversion 1 SimPoint = 0.01 US dollar is factually wrong, because you can't buy SimPoints individually; only in bundles. The smallest bundle is 1000 SimPoints for US$ 6.99. That means that 1 SimPoint = 0.00699 US dollars.
Lucky Palms costs US$ 17.12 Standard Edition or US$24 the Gold Edition. But it costs less the more SimPoints you buy.
The 24360 bundle for US$ 106.99 makes it so each SimPoints costs US$ 0.0043. With this bundle Lucky Palm costs $10 the Standard Edition and $14 the Gold Edition.Then there's the worlds you have to pay with money. Some of those are super reasonable in price, like
Roaring Heights GOLD EDITION for US$ 23. The price some are assuming Lucky Palms costs.

especially the smaller ones like Hidden Springs.
Hidden Spings isn't much smaller than Lucky Palms. Hidden Springs has 85 lots vs. 96 in Lucky Palms. It's pretty boring in terms of looks, to be honest, but the it's fairly similar in size. Even Barnacle Bay, probably the worst Sims 3 Store world in terms of looks, has 93 lots. It's the standard for Sims 3 worlds. Custom worlds take it one step further and most of them have well over 100.
