SimPoint

A SimPoint is a form of currency in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 Store.

The Sims 2
SimPoints in The Sims 2 were purchased in different sized bundle amounts using real life currency. $1 USD could purchase up to 100 SimPoints.

The option to purchase additional SimPoints was removed from The Sims 2 Store on March 9, 2011, 22 days before the store was closed down. Players could still use their SimPoints up until March 31. The balance of SimPoints a user had was directly connected with their EA account, meaning that they could be transferred for use on The Sims 3 Store, provided that they had registered to be a member of The Sims 3 community.

The Sims 3
SimPoints in The Sims 3 can be purchased directly from the store, via Origin, or at retail stores using the SimPoint Card.

SimPoint Card
A SimPoint Card (or Sim Point Card) is a card which players buy and redeem Simpoints to purchase objects, sets or towns from The Sims 3 Store. They ranged from 1000 SimPoints to 24,360 SimPoints. These cards can be bought in game retailers from some countries. SimPoints can also be bought in Origin or in The Sims 3 Store.
