				<title>Sim Point Purchases: Studies are Needed!</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ The devious marketer that lives below just below my calm exterior is wondering: What if EA allowed us to purchase Sim Points in any quantity? That is, we could just enter the quantity we wanted. See, his first thought was "Obviously EA wouldn't do that - they specifically want us to have to buy more than we need so that they get more money," but then he thought some more: What if it led to more people buying Sim Points? What if it led to people making more purchases of individual items on a whim, rather than thinking carefully about their Sim Point purchases and deciding exactly what items they wanted? For example, there are 1050 points worth of items I want right now. Rather than spent 20USD and have 950 left over, I am just not buying anything. Wouldn't it be much better for EA for me to buy the 50 extra and get everything I want? <br /> <br /> Clearly a study needs to be done - maybe it would be [i]more[/i] effective to do it the other way!]]></description>

				<title>Where Does This Shirt Come From?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ <a class="snap_shots" href="http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=2006303" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=2006303</a><br /> <br /> The last time I could not find an item, it was that "balloon dress" that was a free download to shop the store from inside the game, and someone provided me a link. Is this perhaps a freebie that I missed? Does anyone have a link? It doesn't appear to be from stuff pack or EP, and I can't find it for sale in the store either ???]]></description>

				<title>Suggestions to add to the store?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Well, I must say, this is a case where I asked for something and received it! I don't know if it was my post that caused the developers to create them, but either way, they knew they'd have at least one customer. I suggested Victorian fashions, and now there are some!<br /> <br /> I noticed that the Steampunk stuff got a second pack AND some clothing. I am excited, as that sets a precedent - could we get [i]more[/i] Victoriana? <br /> <br /> And maybe a set of Gothic outfits?]]></description>

				<title>Looking to trade!</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hello everyone! I am what you could probably call a Sims architecht. I love building properties, and since I recently installed Create-A-World I have even more to do. I really want to get varied items so that I can build and decorate and have everything look different.<br /> If anyone is willing to gift me any item whatsoever, I would be truly appreciative! I am particularly interested in the Bah Haus and Faire Folk collections, but I would really appreciate anything at all, even if it's a simple little mirror or window.<br /> Of course, if there are any items that you are looking for and I happen to have it, I am happy to gift back in return. Add me to your friends list if you are interested! :)<br /> ~Nirah]]></description>

				<title>Lag...and LONG loading screens</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hey all, <br /> <br /> I haven't played much of the sims 3 for probably about 3 months or so. I played "World Adventures" for a bit but just got bored.<br /> <br /> I bought "High end loft" yesterday and installed it...then I remembered how I have to sit and wait for the loading screens...for me the first loading screen doesn't take long..its when you click the family you want to play..then it loads..it literally takes 10 minutes at least. To me thats so long. Once in the game its fine..(a little big of lag here and there). The "create a sim" screens are insanely laggy..for me to make a sim takes like a half hour at least lol. I have SOME custom content but not much at all mainly just some hair styles. <br /> <br /> Is this my pc's problem or the game? How long do the loading screens take for everyone else? I have a pretty new laptop with a good graphics card...the in-game is fine..its just the **** loading screens lol.<br /> <br /> Maybe I should try lowering some settings next time I play?<br /> <br /> Thanks all.]]></description>
