Free Stuff at The Sims 3 Store

[TommyT]

How do you install this T-Mobile stuff into the game?  I used the code, the site gave me a pop-up with a 'claim content' button, I click that and I get forwarded to the Sims 3 Store home page.  Where do I go from here?

I had to go to my purchase history in my Sim store account and complete the process.

This worked thank you.

No problem Tommy T. Glad it worked.

OK, another free goodie from the store - the Prius Celebration pack.  Here is the link http://store.thesims3.com/prius.html?Intcmp=eaint516 . 
This Prius comes with the ECO package and a bonus celebration package. 
The bonus package consists of a male and female T-shirt, a hot air balloon and what looks like a firecracker.

The Prius package has been around a while, but the t-shirts, balloon and firecracker are new, they didn't come with it when I got it.

Yes, the original Prius offer came out about mid May and only offered the ECO package.  This offer also includes the additional items - Celebration Pack - and is now a new, free download.   .  
I have seen this offer mentioned in the Sims 3 forum over the past couple of weeks and only today did it become a new link.  Someone on the forum said that this set is entitled 'ToyotaSet2'.

Thanks for the link, Mortgage Lady! 

SaltyPaws, I used the link; and (although I've downloaded and have installed the prior Prius promotion, and last I checked, it indicated I'd already downloaded it) it allowed me to update and install the "new and improved" Celebration Pack with no difficulties.

I'm much more well-disposed (from a purely "what I think about the Company") to organizations like Toyota, Ford, and T-Mobile for simply letting Sims3 players download stuff, than the cross-promotions (such as Dr. Pepper) where I know "good stuff's available for my Sims, but I can't get it!"

Thanks again, mtglady!

It looks exciting but with our luck it will cost lots of our simpoints  .  Here is a link if anyone wants more information http://www.thesims3.com/community/www.thesims3.com/barnaclebay

It's going to cost simpoints.. here is an article  http://au.pc.ign.com/articles/111/1117095p1.html

I'd love me some pirate fun! It had never occurred to me that WA could be the portal to mini-expansions like this. Think about all the different places they could design to travel to! I'd so buy Future World!

That was me, I put it in here because I always read this thread, then I was like, hmm, it may not be free so I started a new topic.  Didn't even think about replying that I did that.  Thank you.  I will one day get a hang of this forum stuff.

The Store is currently offering some new "Halloween" stuff.

Looks interesting, that "Bride of Frankenstein" hairdo's out there!
