Holidays & Gifts

This page is dedicated to the break down and cost comparisons of purchasing sets versus the smaller single items. At the bottom of each set will be

•  analysis of simpoints saved and what percentage of savings was gained from a consumer point of view {alt disc is the retailers point of view}
• any notes that are pertinent to the set like if the smaller sets have over lapping items, or pc included, or if the items can only be acquired as a set
• If you think you see an error feel free to either leave a comment or e-mail me at uncrndrgn@yahoo.com
• Patience Please as I use the formula posted by ajaxpost in the DD stalkers thread to add theoretical CYS calculations.

The sets listing is arranged to match the order they are found within the store.

Disclaimer: I do not work for any part of EA. I’d also like to point out that the Common discounts on store sales runs between 10% to 40% off depending on the item/set. A discount of 50% is uncommon, and the average seems to be about 1 – 3 items/sets per month at this rate. The discount rates of 75% and 90% are very rare and seem to be reserved mainly for year end specials and the occasional ‘madness’ sales in the past; there is no guarantee that EA Sims 3 store will offer these generous discounts at other times of the year or even again in the future.

Stop by 2Mahawk’s “Easy-to-miss items check list” thread in the forums singles items & Set only list:
