Are my eyes pulling tricks on me? Did I just see a FREE set on The Sims 3 Store? Yes, I’m not hallucinating…There are 5 new sets for the month of September, with one of those containing 6 Free items – the Halloween Set! As for the other sets…well, if I had to make a purchase I’d put it towards the new SteamPunk set…that looks rad. Here’s a breakdown of the 5 new sets listing the details and price:

The link of Jet Set for Elders is wrong!
Thanks David for catching my mistake, the link has been fixed 🙂
Well, I have to admit, out of the Jet Set, the elders version looks the best because the style of that set seems more appropriate. Elders can get away with wearing that style in the present times but teens unfortunately would be teased to death. Still, the prices are ridiculous (except for the elder Jet Set because 12 items for only $2.50 means that each item would be less than 25 cents and that is not so bad for pay items). Or why not just make everything in the store 25 cents if EA must charge us for them? I am sure more people would buy the items if they were that cheap. That would make about 64 items for $20 which is actually around the price of a Stuff Pack, seeing as how SP’s cost $20 and usually come with slightly over 60 items. That would be the best deal if EA has to charge us for the store. And even then we are not getting a nice packaging and disc for these items, so that is also why the current prices are ridiculous for just downloads. *sigh* Why even bother ranting if they never listen to suggestions. Silly me! 🙁
Because sometimes it is good to rant 😀
actually, the jet set retro style is super coming back. especially for teen girls/young women. I got a retro one piece bathing suit for the summer and EVERYONE loved it….and there are many students in my elementary school who get some of the styles.
Really? Maybe because I live in plain ol’ Michigan where fashion is constantly backtracked, lol.
well, it definitely depends where you live……but i live in NY and i go to school in NJ and I’ve definitely seen the lacey style and the ruffle shirts (i have a couple of each of my own).
But I looked at the elder-retro clothes, and it looks a little odd. what you don’t think is that the retro look is something the elders wore wen they were YOUNG, which is why its coming back for young teens/young adults IRL and looks vintage and awesome.
when i bought my retro one-piece, my mom said: we went so far into skimpy bikini’s we’re going backwards. soon we’ll have the bathing suits that were to the ground and with hats!
mine looks like the one-piece we have in the game, the one that wraps around like a skirt at the bottom…but mine’s a lot cuter cuz of the sweetheart cut and halter strap.
