SimGuruSarah has commented on this mystery.
Time for the craziness to begin. EA has removed several free sets and items from The Sims 3 Store. For now, you can still re-download them from your purchase history if you’ve done so before. My favorite free Store items removed? EVERY CAR!!! No more Fords or Toyota’s for your Sims if you wanted to get them but put it off for another day. Oh no, you are currently out of luck. Oh and the free holiday items are gone as well. Free holiday items removed with a little over a month until Seasons is released? Conspiracy? Perhaps. Anyways there’s still some free items in the store, but not many.
It looks like most of the old Prius items are on the Branded content page. It has the three previous prius offerings, solar panels, and turbine in the archived content. It says “Download both content packs to get:
The City-friendly Pack, Toyota Prius v, Sweet Life Pack, Eco Pack and Celebration Pack”
But yeah, that is rather obnoxious of them, especially since they rarely offer free content anymore.
probably they will release again soon, but not free anymore.
…I vote Conspiracy Theory… it is damn funny they removed all of that stuff, as stated with something shy of a month till Seasons, if I wanted to be optimistic I could suggest it is to upgrade/polish the Holiday themed sets, but I’m too pessimistic for that.
I find it odd they would do this. They said Seasons wouldn’t have Christmas trees so the sets disappear right before seasons is out.
I think their going to release a big compilation of the holiday sets and possibly add premium content maybe a premium content tree.
Their suppose to be announcing upcoming store projects in the chat Tuesday.
Even a few of the sets shown in that picture require simpoints… the German holiday set comes to mind, and the Hibiscus Trio set is 500 sp. So yeah… there’s even less free stuff than there seems. 🙁
EA is killing it, slowly and painfully.
Looks like I must reinstall my entire TS3 series (I had to make room for my entire TS2 series, two Steam-based games, my sister’s music and videos and due to a poorly-partitioned laptop hard drive). I just hope this is just a site glitch and not a ‘gone for good’ thing 🙁
Black Scorpion Simguru Sarah answered my question on Twitter. She says that the holiday sets will be available for a limited time during the holiday season so the Christmas Sets would most likely be in November or December.

@sharkloverplaye The seasonal sets are being temporarily vaulted and will return for limited periods of time during the appropriate period.
I still wonder about the cars though.
So now they will literally be seasonal items. I guess that makes sense.
why can’t they just make new sets for the comming christmas and halloween and new year? I mean just make 4 items and everyone will be happy
You can still get the Prius set here. http://store.thesims3.com/prius
