The Sale runs now until Tuesday, Dec. 3. Thanks to Bri for sharing the original Simguru link confirming the sale.

Reading that makes me realise just how much I already have thanks to complete your set, such a shame these wont be in that too but I understand why.

Thanks for posting this Bri 

[RainBeau]

Thanks Bri for keeping us up with the deals on the Forum! I am so excited about these deals! Time to start planning . . . hmmm.

[Joria]

Planning on an all nighter for those daily deals for sure!

[Seabody]

I edited the first post to include the dates, for non-Americans.

I really want some of those items! I know I'll be spending that day.

[Bri]

EA/SimGuruTaterTot updated the details of the Cyber Monday List to include their savings.  I've updated the list in the first post to reflect this.  Some of those look to be very good deals, in the 70%+ price reduction.

[Snufflesxx]

Goodness, so many offers! I'll probably get myself one of the venues plus a set. Unfortunately, my most wanted one, the Stonesthrow Greenhouse, is only reduced at 1 in the morning for me. And it's a school night! Oh well. I'm sure I'll find plenty of things to buy 

[Seabody]

I edited the Power Hour information into a table, to make it easier to read.

I only want Sunlit Tides at the moment which is on sale at 3PM on Tuesday for me... unfortunately I start work then!

[Turoskel]

I can see I'm going to be investing in some simpoints, Sunlit Tides would be 3am for me, not sure about getting up just for that, but I've had my eye on that Date Night set for ages and that is cheap.

Thanks for updating it Bri and Seabody, gives a much better idea of when and how much.

[Carl]

Instead of removing this post as was planned, I left Bri's listing of the sales intact as they were originally going to be removed. It's clear it's useful to the community for getting deals and Seabody has improved the formatting. Thanks for sharing, Bri!

The first post has been updated with the sale link EA has provided to allow visitors to support our site.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

[Joria]

Thank you for leaving it Carl it's really helping me shop for myself and friends!  Huggies!

[Nutella]

Just bought Dragon Valley at 60% off, so excited.  I was surprised at $7.99 it came with gold version.

[Bri]

Glad you got a good deal Nutella!

I know I've been able to finish out some of the older sets I need to get (and plan to get on Monday).

These savings work best if you don't own any of the set at all.  However, if you own a good portion of the set, you may want to wait because the Complete Your Set could be cheaper in the long run. 

A good example is that on Monday, Indulgent Living will only cost 400 Simpoints.  However, as I already own the Luxe Wears, the Complete Your Set only costs 360 Simpoints. 

Of course, be aware the Complete Your Set will not work on the day of sale for a given item, though.

[Turoskel]

I don't normally buy through Origin as I can only access the French store as I live in France and generally I get a cheaper deal from GAME in the UK but Dragon Valley gold for that money, well I couldn't pass that up, after exchange rates from euros to pounds I got it for less than £7 

Made sure to go via Carl's link as well.

[Snufflesxx]

Just wondering, where do the power hour deals appear? Do they pop up in the 'Sale!' category with the other sets that are 60% off today or do they appear somewhere else (e.g as the Daily Deal)?

EDIT: I've found out for myself. They appear as the daily deal.
