There’s a new “Deals” section in the online store that offers things for in game currency. Stuff like past limited time event Prizes, online bundles, and items from the mystery box shop.

My sim limit is still 34. :( also, I’m not seeing a “Deals” tab in my online store. The stocking event has started tho. And, I was so excited about a new design for a single bed but of course they put it in an expensive online bundle for us to purchase. Ugh!

It seems to depend on your VIP level. Max sims per town:
VIP 6: 35 sims
VIP 8: 36 sims
VIP 10: 37 sims
VIP 15: 41 sims

Thank you for looking that up! I was wondering if that might be it, but hadn't had a chance to check it. I am VIP 8 and have 36 Sims as a limit now.

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.

I'm VIP 15 and my Sim limit went from 39 to 41, so I did get the 2 extra Sims. No deals tab, though right after updating I had 5 new packs in the specials tab, with new items. I wonder, though, if the rustic furniture from the Missing Claus quest (upcoming) might not have been a premature offer.

That actually sucks a lot that it varies with VIP status. I have no intentions on paying for any in game additions with real currency. Obviously SFP doesn’t care about those who don’t have a VIP level...
SFP: Level 55
VIP: Level 12
