I know a majority of the sites visitors despise the Sims 3 Store, and probably want me to stop posting/promoting their content. But even though I disagree with it, I still have to do my job. 🙂
For those that do use the store, EA has added a shopping cart feature in which you no longer have to buy each item individual. Choose the ones you want, select the “Add to Cart” option and keep browsing until you have all that you wanted, then do a mass checkout at the end. I suppose this is why they’ve decided to release a $160 Simpoint bundle…
(No, I’m not buying any of these)
You got a redeem code or?
Just wondering.. why do you despise it? No-one needs to use it and it’s nice to have if you do.
I’ve grown to understand why it’s there as DLC has taken off and is basically the norm. I wouldn’t probably even have a problem with it either. But the folks behind The Sims Team have proven that they’d rather focus on the Store more then say, give a friendly comment on why the last patch only fixed 2 minor issues and fixing base-game issues.
Prices are too high in my opinion. The reasonable prices are the ‘daily deals’ they hold. It may still be high to some, but I can mostly deal with that.
If EA can fix those two issues with getting the game back on track and informing us on updates and lowering the store price, I’d be pretty happy. Right now, I’m a tad disappointed in their actions.
It wouldn’t be so bad if the store items were a quarter of their prices and were actually fully functional!
A quick visit to MATY reveals that most of the store stuff is bugged, much of it lacks newer features and some of it will cause no end of problems for your game!
The DLC model just doesn’t work if the product on offer is defective. Of course the laws governing DLC means that there is no come back possible so EA are on a winner!!
I know! I mean the prices are way to high if you buy 60 adult female hairstyles, you spend $60 which is more than an EP which has 10 times that amount of items!
I don’t buy from their anyway and probably never will. But the stuff is so over priced! We can get better stuff on other websites for free and I’ve had issues with store items where the item will turn into another item that came with the game before my very eyes!
