Free Daily Simpoints

[PeregrineTook]

I sw and used the free Simpoints feature yesterday at 5:30ish in the morning.  I tried again today at the same time (and have checked in repeatedly since), but the option hasn't shown up.  Is it a one-time-per-user sort of feature?

I got it to show up this morning around 8:30 EST, though I did have to disable my ad blocker.

SimGuruZephyr explained it on SimsVIP (amyrose linked the article earlier):

Sadly it is US only.

As for everyone not seeing it… Because the banner is controlled based on the availability of ad inventory, it won’t show up when the inventory is consumed. Which is why some people will see it and when others check later it may already be gone.

The amounts available are limited and I don’t know the numbers we have available so it’s good to check the site every morning to get a chance at it!

I’m not a morning person at all so I totally missed out on today’s worm… maybe tomorrow? :\

It's really not fair this is only for the US, I need Simpoints but don't have the money to buy any so this would have been perfect.

I just tried it and I am in Canada, but with my account set to US, and it worked for me

Which account is that?

[PeregrineTook]

You want to set it to the US account and then check in at midnight or half past midnight in Eastern standard time.  I'm in mountain time, so it's 10-10:30 for me.  Not sure where you adjust the account, though...

But which account for which site are you talking about? I didn't see any option to change languages in my Sims VIP account.

Probably the thesims3.com.

[PeregrineTook]

Yes, that one.  And may I say, Seabody, David Tennant gave one of the most amazing interpretations of the Doctor EVER.  Just my opinion, but one I hold strongly.

I can't get it to work, thanks anyway. 

[PeregrineTook]

Sign into your account on Sims3.com, it will have your name, search, then a flag.  Use the pulldown tab on the flag to switch it to USA.

I tried that, didn't work.

Aww man it looks like I missed my chance last night. Rosa told me about it and when I went to the site I saw the little banner box. But when I clicked on it, I gave me page unavailable. I don't know if that was because of my internet connection of the site (most likely my crappy internet connection) but I will try again tonight. If it's only in the morning then sadly I am out of luck. I never have sim time in the morning except for the weekend. So we'll see.

It has been rather hit and miss for me as well.  Some days I've gotten it, other days I haven't.  All I can say is to keep trying.

[grimsoul]

I've been having the button show up every other day. It was there Sunday but not Monday, Was there Tuesday but not Wednesday and was there today so if the pattern continues I won't have it tomorrow.

I've only gotten one day. I got 50 points and I have not seen it since. 😞
