The Sims 3.com, 1,850 simpoints?

[Leto85]

Unless I misread this I somehow have 1,850 simpoints! I'm sure that you can't have almost 2 simpoints so I believe that 1,850 stands for 1850. How did this happen? I haven't buy any simpoints in my life, only I got some when I buy an expansion.
Does anyone have this too? Or is this a mistake on the page? I really hope not! Cause I like to give people simpresents sometimes.

I don't! That's not fair Leto!

[Twinmum]

Lucky you Leto, I still only have 250 lol

The only way I've every gotten simpoints is by buying them.  How did you get so lucky, Leto?  Tell us your secret!

Wow, you must have gotten a glitch or something. Just go with it.

I'm sure that you can't have almost 2 simpoints so I believe that 1,850 stands for 1850.

English-speakers use a "." to show decimals, not ",". They use "," to make it easier to see if it is a thousand or not.
In Swedish (don't know how it's in Dutch), we'd write it as "1 850", but I guess it's possible that you Dutch have the same thing I have.

I think they should give out birthday simpoints if you ask me!  Mainly as I only have 35...  Leto if you can buy anything I would buy it before they change it!

In Holland we just say 1850, not 1 850. When it is 1,850 in holland it means that it is almost 2, with an difference of 0,150. But because I got the feeling this whole thing changes in America, and The Sims is American by origin, this all confuses me.
I've checked the site a few seconds ago and nothing changed, so I am still rich.
Unless the European simpoints (if something like that even exists) are worth more compared to the American simpoints, just like the Euro in comparment to the dollar, I still don't know what's going on.

Like I said: I like it more buying things for others with my points than for myself. So maybe EA noticed that and treated me like a sort of Dutch Santa Claus perhaps.

I like this topic to be open for a while. Maybe someone else has a clue, because sorry Schipperke, but I don't have any secret in how to get those points.

Leto,

Have you tried spending any of the SimPoints yet?

Not yet. Shall I? Tell me your nickname over there and I will try this on you, if you have anything in your wishlist.
Just a cheap thing, to test this out.

I'm Happytime on the Sims3 site, as well, Leto. I'll head over there now and put something in my Wish-List-thingy.

I thought I already added you as a friend over there. But I guess I was wrong. Anyway: you will receive two mails now. One for the friend invite (which you 'must' confirm, ) and one for the reminder of a gift from someone.
That someone will be me.

Edit: I now have 1,775 simpoints. So I do have a lot to spent, and I'm still rich!

Thanks, Leto! Yep I got it, it's really a mystery where those points came from.

Thanks for the styling Sim hat!

And thank you for the tv set in return! Happy birthday by the way! Looks like the gift came at the right day for you.

I think they should give out birthday simpoints if you ask me! 

Thomas, EA/Sims 3 actually has a birthday package they started sending out a few weeks ago.  Members that have their game(s) registered will receive an email on their birthdate to download the following items:



Myself - I think these items are cute, but I would rather have simpoints! 

[Happytime]

hehe Lady,

Before I go off all half-cocked and shoot myself in the fingers, mouth, and foot ... I'm off to check muh e-mail to see if muh Birthday Present from EA's there (I've registered a ton of games with EA, they know my birthday, and it was yesterday). it's sure not in my Sims3 Messages place!
