Do you happen to have any Ultra Lounge items on your Wishlist? If so, better get them fast as they’ll be removed off of The Sims 3 Store come Monday, June 13th. I find this strange that they’re axing the whole series… I wonder if they have plans to release a Stuff Pack/Addon with this whole collection? Some may not like that idea, but I’d be up for it! Of course, it’s wishful thinking on my part.
Those who do have the items, as far as I know you’ll still be able to re-download them if necessary. They’re just….well, I guess not selling them anymore.
Thanks to iSims as well as Lau for the email!
okay….Don’t tell me this is included in the “Town Life Stuff”….
This is really upsetting. I’ve been using a bunch of the free store objects on my last two maps, and know I don’t know if they’ll keep them up there much longer. I better stop using them, now that I know that EA is doing stuff like this. I knew that they would have to take them down sooner or later, but I would have expected it to be after they stopped making expansion packs for the Sims 3 and it was an old game that very few people were still playing.
I find it weird that the kitchen and bath sets are being removed so quickly! They aren’t really that old, guess when they say their taking down the set they mean the whole set even the items that haven’t been out as long.
Hopefully they’ll start giving us sets that are like the full ultra lounge set. With living room, bed room, and dining all in one, it was quite the bargain. Whereas the sets we’re getting now aren’t all that great, their expensive, and you don’t get very much.
They won’t get rid of The Ultra Lounge Set. There is a compilation with all the objects in it. This will be the only way to get the whole thing if you want and you would have to fork 50$ for it. Also some of the other sets are a part of compilations, too.
They are just packing them together.
Yeah, this sounds very fish. I would highly doubt they would remove it even for a stuff pack seeing as they’d probably loose money on the stuff pack as the objects were already once available. I’m curious to see where they are going with this.
The ‘Storybook’ and ‘Bayside’ sets are being removed from sale on the same date too. There might be more, but I’m not sure.
So by removing them, this will mean that anyone who had paid for this stuff in the past will no longer be able to download them unless they do so beforehand.
Wow, how unlike EA. I mean, it’s not as though they’ve ever revoked access to their paid content before, is it? *cough*multiplayer servers*cough*, *cough*BioWare forums and games*cough*.

Why do I think Ultra Lounge SP?
@unknortherner:
No, if it’s already bought it’s remaining in the purchase history for those who have bought it, so it can be downloaded again.
For those who haven’t bought the sets the following will disappear for individual purchase: Asian Fusion, Ultra Lounge sets, Bayside and Storybook.
The Asian Fusion and Bayside Bathroom sets will still be in the “Best of 2010” compilation and the Ultra Lounge compilation has all of that stuff.
That means that Storybook and Bayside Kitchen are gone for good, including buying the individual items.
I hope that’s all clear. I tend to waffle on……
