I went on a mini-shopping spree tonight. I went through all of the 10x10s from Bloo's contest (well, all that were on the Exchange) and bought all of the Store items they used that I didn't own provided they were still available. I don't know what Day Star 3000 was, but it must have been a popular promo item when it came out. Several people used it, but it isn't available anymore.
Anyway, it only came out to 17 items. Well, technically there are two more I need to get to make all of the houses show up in my world as intended (sans third party CC), but I had planned on getting them as part of sets, so I haven't made the plunge yet. I have no problem buying them before I finalize with houses in game, but I won't get them until the last possible moment so that they have time to go on DD. That's the only reason I've held off on them this long.
I may just have been looking for an excuse to spend simpoints on myself, but it was fun to go through them. Some items were used so frequently that I started to recognize their names and not have to check them anymore. And I just enjoyed looking at the houses again. I don't know if it's the tiny = cute syndrome, but I just love 10x10s. I feel like doing a featured lots each week, except I should spend my time on getting my world finished. It just makes me like this world even more.
I love simpoints spending sprees!! Every now and then it's nice to spend some points on yourself lol. I did that over the weekend. Bought the two new furniture sets! Love them!
ReplyDeleteI really can't wait til your world is done! I plan on using it as a place for one of my wishacy generations to live in! :)
What do you have left to do to it? (Besides add the reward lots when your contest is over that is.)
Oh by the way, would you mind if I posted on my whisperingtruth real estate blog about the tattoo parlor and sports bar? I'll add a link to this blog in my posts. :)
Of course post on your own blog! They are your work (and free advertising for me). Typing on the phone right now, so I'll leave it till tomorrow to figure out what I have left
ReplyDeleteHah, it turns out that 10 of the items were on my wishlist anyway. Sweet.
ReplyDeleteNice! I'm glad you enjoyed yourself! Just so you know the Day Star 3000 are the solar panels that came with the Prius pack thing. I have the link to the new one that came out this month if you want it!
ReplyDeleteEven if she doesn't want the link I do! :) lol
ReplyDeleteHehe, I do have the new set, but I had no idea that item was one of the solar panels. The link it takes you to in the Store is an Oops! page, but they've probably moved or removed one of the old eco packs that it was in and not updated the link. Thank you for solving the mystery!
ReplyDeleteHere's the link. It's kind of annoying because you get all the same stuff with only one new item, but enjoy!

Whisp, I've updated my World Status page (finally), and it should be fairly accurate with the things I have left to do on the world. I'm hoping to get it out before Generations is launched since it always takes me a while to get CAW working again once there's a patch or an updated version.

Yay!! Looked it over. I will create a sim(s) family for my residential lot I made. And I am also offering my services as a world/lot tester when your ready for that. :) And of course as you post your contests I may/most likely enter them! :) I'm thinking of starting a blog with Sammie for our world as well. Not a full website cause I don't have time for that but at least a blog. Your making great progress!!! I really can't wait. :)
