@AngelEcho17  You buy SimPoints through Origin, and then you can spend them on store items.  You should also have received 1,000 free points for registering your copy of the base game, and World Adventures as well, if you own it.

If you do want to spend your points, don't buy anything full price.  There are deals on many of the items and sets, so there's almost always a cheaper way to buy what you want.  If you'd like to have a look, here are a couple of very useful threads on the official Sims forums:

The store site was under maintenance from Wednesday to Friday this week, and that affected in-game logins as well.  If you can't login going forward, try clearing Internet Explorer's browser cache.  Even if you never use it, the store and launcher do for some purposes.  Be sure to uncheck the box to preserva data for favorites.
