Has Simpoint grinding been slow for anyone else today?

There is The Gifting Directory where you can post your wish list. Maybe if you post your wish list, someone might randomly gift you.
But I actually don't know how any of it really works, how much sucking up you have to do, etc

No, not really and I've been doing it almost the whole day as a side chore. I can't believe that I've actually been grinding for the past three weeks and still haven't gotten bored. It's almost like the Whack-A-Gnome game, I guess.

I tried grinding today while listening to a very very boring Economics lecture, but the videos wouldn't let me turn off the sound. So it was a bad idea. Although the commercials were more interesting than what I was supposed to be watching, which is kinda sad.

Just opened five tabs, and four out of five did not give me points. I only got ten points.
Welp, I think I should go back on the sims forums.

Sometimes it takes a few minutes. I've had my points show up after about 15 to 20 minutes.

I've figured out that I can only watch 2 videos at a time with only the 2 windows open but I've been watching for days and was able to save up for the surf station the ice cream machine and the fryer and some other small things.

The store is pretty hit or miss. Some days I get ads and ads and ads. Today I haven't been so lucky.

BREAKING NEWS

Dun dudududun dudududun dudududun...

We now interrupt this simpoint grinding discussion for a shining example of EAxian logic!

I found that if I go around am time, usually very late, after midnight, but still good up until noon, I will get back to back ads for hours. I racked up over 300 points in one night. I'd have gotten more than that, but I forced myself to stop.

I got the bohemian garden that I longed for, but I haven't used it yet. Not sure how I can obtain the new produce. I went to the market but it was all same ol same ol.

Don'tcha wanna save 0%?!

I just got a few odds and ends .. the whole future shock set and hidden springs. There seems to be a real limit at about 3000. Cheers.

"There seems to be a real limit at about 3000."

I have over 14000 now. The little buttons slow to almost nothing for a while, and then there's a lot of them for a while. I prtty much keep a few tabs open and click th buttons when they're there and I'm reading things or working on something. If I'm in the mood and thee's no buttons, I refresh and click aound on different store pages until I get buttons.

I'm still being stubborn about getting things on sale, but at some point I will have to acknowledge that I will run out of things to "buy" on sale and just get the last things full price. I'm waiting for the carousel mainly. It came up a lot before I had points, though, so I expect it will be a while. I'm not acquiring things I don't want.

Not really. My total simpoint amount from ads before buying some venues + premiun content was well over 20 000 points. I'm currently getting back up to 14 000 again.
