The extra sims being tied to VIP status is really disappointing. They finally did something people have been asking for for a long time but had it tied into spending real money. :(

I don't have the deals tab, but I expect that may vary from device to device or even game to game. We don't all have the same offers at the same time. I expect the deals tab may appear and disappear as needed. Or it could be like the architect tab which tends to disappear for a time after updating.

Yeah, I got the deals tab on my iPad but when I updated my iphone it didn't have the deals tab. Once I downloaded the data from my iPad to my phone my phone got the deal tab.

For the farmhouse furniture bundles, anyone know if purchasing actually unlocks the items, or just gives you 1 of each with no option to use more than that yet? Thanks!

Also, I don’t have the “Deals” section in mine either :( i’m VIP lvl 14, could that be something tied to VIP level 15 as well?

I just tried it and the items are really unlocked. The single rustic bed costs 37,500 simoleons after the free one. Didn't notice any other prices.

Also, I don't think the deals tab is linked to VIP level 15. I'm level 15 and I don't have it either.

I wonder if things are okay at the teams that run Sims Freeplay and Mobile. As we've seen recently, they've really made in-game items a bit too expensive recently...

Agreed that it's a shame they still won't unlock any more for us for free... I've said ever since they added extra lots with the downtown update that I feel we should be able to move in at least as many sims as house lots. But an additional sim was available by VIP already, just at an absurdly high and expensive level. So they've actually just added a couple extra and lowered the requirement.

The furniture packs that have been added to the online store are items that come in the new house, but aren't actually unlocked during the quest.
