No, it was not a location thing. I'm from Germany and I downloaded the set for free. luckily I was fast enough.

I think you may need to change the language to a country on the same time zone as you.

Or it was possibly only available until midnight in America.
I got it no problems yesterday by following the link from facebook.
I'm in the UK so I'm roughly 8 hours ahead of America.

Anyone who has downloaded this yet, are either of these objects CASTable?

The gnome is definitely CASTable, haven't used the flag yet but I'm assuming it is.

The pole and fastener as well as the white background is castable. I was really hoping that the clover was castable/removeable b/c it the flag mesh itself would be a great/versatile decor object but you can still get some neat effects with changing the background.

Default NEW in Shop Mode, or at least new to me
Don't know how *new* it is because I usually have Shop Mode turned off, but there is a blue clock shaped like a music note "Always Time for Music Clock" for FREE. .

Not that, Lisfyre. "but there is a blue clock shaped like a music note "Always Time for Music Clock" for FREE. ."

On reread I think he meant through the game itself, so nevermind.

Yeah, sorry to be unclear. I cannot link to it, I even searched around the store just to be sure, it is only showing in-game with Shop Mode turned on.

That said, in addition to the clock I found two other items in Shop Mode that cost 0 simpoints:

In BuyMode->Decor-> statues -> a pretty outdoor statue of a fairy called "Faire Statue"

In CAS->Female->Adult->Everyday->Shoes-> a set of retro-looking ankle boots called "Pepper's Party Boots"

I really don't know how long these will be there, but I hope this is helpful. I love this thread!

They sound like reward items for purchasing Simpoint bundles. I remember the music note clock and I also know that the fairy statue was awarded with a Simpoint bundle purchase a while back.

Sounds like they are giving them out for free now then.

The free items from in-game look to vary, don't know if it's based on region or what. I got the retro car (dr.pepper promo), the moroccan end table, a bbq grill, a ceiling fan and a plant.

Yeah, I got those same items a few months back, whenever Shop Mode first debuted.
Yesterday was the first time since then that I turned Shop Mode on, and I found the clock,statue and shoes, so I don't know maybe they put new freebies in from time to time?

As for the region thing, I have no idea if that makes a difference in what shows up. For the record I'm on the East Coast, U.S.A. So if you got the same things as me before (the Dr. Pepper Car, etc), you probably can get these new items if you wanted...

I just registered for the sims store and I saw a link that said by registering I get some free simpoints, with a link like "Click here to get your free simpoints". Unfortunately I'm a dumbass and accidentally closed the tab. Is there any way to get back to that page?

I did something similar to that, I just figured out yesterday that you can go to your page and around your icon it should say "Redeem your free simpoints".
