#The sims 3 complete set for free#
I mean there are many sets I never even knew I wanted and some that I probably didn't that I got for free or just about that because other sets I acquired along the way already included much of their content.Īnyway, I wouldn't call paying full price without all the bundle leverage for every item in the store falling for a scam necessarily, but it wouldn't really go into the category of best value for the gaming dollar/store point either. Instead, those of us who purchased portions of the content here and there and maybe a world every now and then as we wanted them enjoyed the huge menus of choices (gems, total crappola, the mundane stuff in between, all of it).Ĭould be mistaken but am not sure that the spreadsheet analysis takes into account the item overlap between many of the sets and the "savings" to be had by leveraging the Complete Your Set system and Make Me An Offer, which are both still actively engaged.

No one needs that all at once as it would make them sick and although there are some players who have a sense of pride over owning the entire store, no one really needs to have all or even a quarter of it to enjoy its content. To me, this is a bit like pricing out what it would cost to have a scoop of every kind of ice cream a super large ice cream parlor touting hundreds of flavors carries. Build or buy that bork on lower graphics (I'm assuming due to lower graphics setting). I like the violin but the way the skill levels up annoys me. Some of my favorite worlds are from there but they have bugs and amateur mistakes them that the content shouldn't have been released with. I do generally like what EA has put out on the store. If it will be able to pull Sims 3 lovers away from our game or tempt new would be S3 players to rather buying that. It may all predict if there is or what it would be like: The Sims 5. Conservatively I'd say it would be gone 2030 but I'd be surprised if it was there in 2025. Pre 2020 I would have thought that the Sims 3 store and exchange would have been gone by now. Don't forget the exchange is still running and people are still putting up content on it and that is on the same site. The fact that the store is still running means people are buying from it and enough to cover the costs needed to keep it going. The price of all the Content on the store is $1,925.19 and the price of all the expansions, stuff packs and store content is $2,595.19.Ħyrs after abandoning, disavowing, disowning the Sims 3 they are still make money off it. If you are insane like me and have found any errors in my calculations, leave a comment or PM me at this webzone. Also, the store is still full price 6 years after they stopped updating it! I'd advise you to save your money and not buy anything.Īlso don't take this as condoning piracy, because I'm not. I go into more detail of what sets do this in my spreadsheet. Anyone can do that for free with a copy of SimPE and S3PE. And then of course you have items ripped straight from The Sims 2 that you need to pay for again. There are some cool things on it, but they tend to be buggy and are absolutely not worth the money. So, what are my personal thoughts on the store?

I even accounted for the simpoint bundles that you get from buying some of the worlds! HERE is a link to a google spreadsheet with all of my calculations and award winning notes and commentary that I have written during my 3 hour, sanity draining trek of the wild wasteland known as The Sims Store. I haven't provided any sort of source or calculations. So ladies and gentlemen, do you want to know the real price of all the content in the Sims 3 Store?ĭon't believe me? Good! You shouldn't. So fast forward to today, Me, the responsible person I am, decide to get the real price of all the store content instead of studying. I did some digging and it seems the creator of that thread took the average price of the first 50 store items and multiplied it by the amount of items on the store.

When I first heard this fact, I was very suspicious.

There has been a myth floating around the internet about The Sims 3.Īccording a steam post from 2013, the price of all the store content comes to around 73 thousand dollars. The Sims 3 real price of all the store content.
