Goodie Boxes debuted a number of months ago for a super short test-run, presumably so they could bring them back now or another time in the future. They are up from today until May 1st, so there’s again on a little amount of time to indulge if you’re interested.
They tweaked the results a little bit so now you won’t get a set if you’ve already gotten it included in a compilation from the store. They’ve also made it possible to show you what you’ve gotten from the boxes by enabling a search function in the latest website upgrade.
As before you have the option to go for either a Build/Buy set of boxes or a CAS set, with different payscales for each. You can buy 1 box for 300 SimPoints, 3 boxes (with a bonus box equaling a total of 4) for 900 SimPoints, of 5 boxes (with a buns of 2 boxes equaling a total of 7) for 1500 SimPoints. In addition to the items in the box, you may obtain a bonus item of anything really, including Sunlit Tides Gold Edition.

Has anyone tried them yet? I’ll admit, I did a bad thing and broke down… picked up the 900 SimPoint Build/Buy Bundle. I just couldn’t deal with the ‘what ifs”! Would NOT do well at the Lucky Simolean Casino 🙂
NOBODY buy these – it’s completely ridiculous. Why would you spend money which could give you nothing but the items that make up 70% of the store which are complete crap rather than save and spend it on something you actually like? One bonus item of ANYTHING (Oh wow, a bonus pot plant that is actually only 75 simpoints) is not enough to make up for all the money you would have just lost on horrible content.
Well some people enjoy the risk.. ala me 🙂 It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but for some of us it’s just for fun!
Ha, sorry to be bitter MapleSim, just how I am concerning the sims at the moment! I’m hoping for a radical change to the series and / or a new life simulation competitor within the next couple of years.
