Free Stuff at The Sims 3 Store

[Pam]

The boxes where you type the code automatically put the spaces in and jump to the next box.  There are four boxes and each box holds four characters.  Are you using the code that's on the back of the insert that came with your game?  And I'm guessing you've found the World Adventures registration page on the Sims 3 site?  If you're trying to put the code on the wrong page, it won't work.  Were you able to register your base game with no problems?  And what about the High-End Loft Stuff pack?  If all else fails, you'll just have to contact EA Customer Support directly about your problem.  It's possible your code is bugged or something.  I actually had a similar problem when I first registered my base game a month ago.  They were very helpful and gave me a new code to use.

They just added a new section to the store called "My Page Goodies".  You can add backgrounds to your avi pic's and dress up your page on the EA website (for those of you who use your "My Page"   ).  Of course most are pay, but here are the Free items you can use!

Yes, my game is from the store, I bought every part of the game. (Meaning the stuff pack and the expansion pack too.) I had a little fumble in my brain I guess... and sadly I must admit that at the worst of times I am dyslexic... Not something I'm happy about, but I mistook 5 on my code for an S. They look similiar I guess. I just don't like admitting that I mixed up just that little thing and caused such a problem. Thank you for your advice. My game is now registered.

Thanks igzigpuff!  I'm going to like these.  I'm getting tired of the same plants all the time.

A quick, and perhaps silly question, but does anyone know how long free stuff in the store is available for? I've been looking through it and the Halloween stuff is still available - which is good because I liked that mini set and I'll have to start over once I get a computer that can play Sims3 again - but other things seem to be in store for a limited amount of time?

[Pam]

It seems to be indefinite to me.  I don't recall seeing anything removed.

[Sarah]

I couldn't find the sponge computer; it's not that I'm fussed on getting it again, but I just wondered if there were any set time limits for downloads.
Thank you At least now I don't have to panic thinking that I'm going to miss out on the nice free stuff. The Earth Day plants look really nice; and I really like the Sims Celebration paintings that are on the store too.

It seems to be indefinite to me.  I don't recall seeing anything removed.

One example is the JCP Teen Outfit set, was available free for a limited time, and is no longer available.

On the other hand, if you ever did download anything that is no longer available, you can go to the store, select the "My Account" button, and select Purchase History.  This will list anything you have ever downloaded, AND it lets you DL them again (just checked with the JCP set).

And that was a great feature, I thought, because if you did lose it from your game it was easy to find again and you'd not have to pay for it again.

Except when I'll have to completely reinstall the game on my new computer which may or may not have been ordered today. So I've just been trawling through the freebies to see what I can get my grubby mitts on

Erm, the items are in your account history at the sims website.  Get your new puter, go to the website, log in, and download them to the new puter...

I very rarely log into it, but the time before that the Simming computer broke. I did try and it didn't show anything up when I logged in, but I'll try again when this new one arrives. Thank you
