Complete your set discount
« on: July 19, 2013, 07:10:02 AM »
If you go to the EA store you can now complete sets you have a few or most pieces of for less simpoints than before. In some cases you might even get the set for free, if you have a big enough percentage of the content. Go check out the compilations and big sets first to see if you can get any free content.

Wow thanks Saltpastillen.  That's good news.  I got a lot of bits and pieces in the goodie boxes, so I'm hoping for a freebie.  ;)

EA store or thesims3.com store?

Also, I'm kind of still new to the Sims so I'm confused about what exactly you mean by your post?

Either way thanks for the heads up!

Is this a permanent thing? Because I think it's a great idea: I finally don't have to feel guilty about purchasing a set when I already own some items from it!

Be nice if it was permanent but I imagine it isn't.

I feel like it's my birthday  ;D make sure you check out the compilations as well, because I bought the greenhouse the best of 2012 one is just 155 simpoints instead of 5,400 in the sale.

Same with the January one, that's just 200 as I bought the lullaby set, and I have just enough simpoints left for those two.

Oh, this is awesome! I think the threshold for "free" is somewhere around 60% of set owned. I just got the Indian furniture sets for free because I owned all the clothing they were compiled with.  :D

The 2012 compilation had the More Magic set in but it lacked the book of spells, so I looked at the Enchanted Bundle of Dark Dealings and as I now have 80% of it I can get it for 15 points, seems once you get one cheap set you can find even more, shame my points are fast running out.

Not sure about the free threshold, maybe it depends on individual item prices, as I said above I had 80% of that set and it isn't free yet I had 70% of the wedding set and that was, or maybe it's because the book of spells is premium content.

Oh and Ausette the India Inspirations was in that 2012 set you might want to look at that now as you have most of it.

How long will  this be available?

Edit:  This is SO amazing!  I  just completed two compilation sets for FREE.  I've been saving and waiting for these items.

Thank you so much for posting this.

I would suggest making multiple passes through the listing, as it is possible to have one set where it is currently free for you be a part of a larger set that isn't and 'buying' the smaller set can make the larger set also be free - I just did that with the Ultra Lounge 2010 and Best of 2010 sets. Best of was about 1800 points (out of 6000) until I grabbed my free Ultra Lounge, then it became free as well.

Awesome; thanks for posting this! I was able to get several free sets browsing through the compilations I had already bought sets from.

Awesome, thanks Turoskel! Now I can get the rest of the April 2012 compilation (Worth 3,650 Simpoints) for just 360! This is fantastic!  :D
