***EDIT Aurora Skies Is Out!
February 21, 2013 in Site News
Though the Sims 3 Store hasn’t updated yet, the world is now available for purchase. I’m almost cautioning first though, as there seems to be something up with the price (unless prices have gone up considerably)…
****EDIT:
Thank GOD a guru came around! I was right after all… hold off on picking it up until it gets fixed!

Do you guys actually buy these ea worlds??? I find user created worlds far more attractive than this, and it’s free.
Looking at how expensive this seemed at first I did a little bit of work to see how much various things cost in real money (GB £) on the Sims Store. Here are the results, and it is expensive!

World (Standard – inc. Lots, 25 Objects) = £6

World (Premium – inc. Lots, 55 Objects, 3 Premium) = £10
Yea, I’m going to pass on this world myself. Well, maybe I’m not entirely against it, it’s just that there have been too many worlds released this past year and I can’t play them all at once!
