    "Q: After purchasing the Limited Edition, how do I access the additional content that comes with it?
    A: The Limited Edition will come with instructions on how to obtain the Pet Store for your game."

    Will I need Origin for this? I don't have Origin and don't want it.

    Ah, same here! I'm a Mac user so no Origin for me, even though it states I can get the content. I just want absolute fact that I know there's no Origin involved.

    Is it too late to get this version? If not can someone provide a link to go to order it.

    Thanks :)

    Sorry if this question was already asked, but does the limited addition come with special pets as well? Such as a certain kind of snake only found in the pet store?

    I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE A GLITCH: The longer I minimize my create a pet, the darker the screen is. The mouse stays the same color but if it is minimized for a couple hours the screen is really dark, if it is minimized over night, the screen goes blank. PLEASE FIX THIS GLITCH!

    Thanks for the info! I just pre-ordered off of Origin for digital download. It said it was the limited edition online but didn't mention anything other than exclusive pet costumes. I'm sure it includes everything else mentioned here but just wanted to be sure... Let the countdown begin!!! :D

    I am wondering if I should cancel my pre order from Origins so I can be sure to get it on time. Does Origin ship it out a few days earlier so it gets here on time?

    I know that on past Sims games they require you to have the regular Sims 3 game. Is it still like this for the pc? and if i get it for the xbox will i have to buy the regular sims 3 first?

    It's too bad that the PC version won't get the extra breeds like the console version. :cry: I think that's a crock!

    But even so..thanks for answering some questions that have been simmering for a long time.

    I would like to know if you will be able to take your pet on vacation. I know you have to wait until your offspring becomes a child to take them. I hope my sim will be able to take their pet along. Should make things interesting. :lol:

    Hi! I was wondering if there will be chickens, ducks, or turkeys in sims 3 pets. I own chickens as pets and they are very entertaining and they hop onto my shoulder like parrots. My turkeys are just like dogs, they follow me around my yard and sit in my lap. My ducks are very loud and funny. If these are not in sims pets you should think about adding them because there are only city jobs and things right now and that doesnt make sense to me because without farms and farm animals all of the city people would starve and die. It would be great if a sims farm thing came out because farmers are more important than city people because without them humans would still be hunter gatherers. 

    Is there a way to add the extra breeds into the sims store for those of us who have computers but not other systems, or who don't want to buy two versions of the game JUST to get the extra breeds?

    please?

    I have a question, as I've already pre-ordered my copy last night I was just wondering... When will it be available for download in Australia? What time and date I mean? I'm asking simply so I can put a reminder in my phone LOL

    Sorry if this has already been answered, but have EA said anything more about the bonus items that will come with the LE? I'm still trying to decide whether to pre-order or not (fighting my dislike of Play.com!) and this will probably be the deciding factor, as I'm not overly fussed about the pet shop.

    I'm with you, still. We were told we would be told what these special objects were nearer the time, and I'd say we are extremely near to the time now, so perhaps we should be told what we are paying for as the words 'exclusive content' mean nothing, that could be just an extra collar.

    I wonder why they don't just tell everyone.

    Looks like it's been 12 days since a guru has been in here too and I refuse to get a twitter account to contact someone from EA when they have a support site right here.

    If I understand it correctly, EA will offer *only* the Limited Edition of "Pets" in retail stores, including those who pre-ordered as the first run copies of the game. But the second manufacture of the game will be the standard edition.

    So, if your retailer ordered Pets, they should just be getting the Limited Edition copies, not the standard ones. I think that the standard ones won't be available until all the Limited Edition copies are sold.

    In the UK and other countries outside the USA we can get the standard version in the shops on release day but we cannot get the LE in shops as that is an online purchase only through play.com.

    The story about all preorders automatically becoming LE's is a fallacy. I'm sure people in the USA might well get this special treatment, but the rest of us have to make do with the bones we are thrown.

    Why is everyone so fussed about these "extra breeds"? They are just dogs and cats with special skins. It's already been shown that you can make more-or-less exact duplicates with CAP for the PC version. It's not like the console versions are getting actual tigers and pandas. You don't need to buy both versions of the game - just make those breeds yourself.

    Although I would love the 10 unique breeds, I guess that is EA's way of making it up to console players for not adding horses. Either way I preordered for my PC. Cant wait :D

    ^this.

    Also if they can add a special page for thesimssocial items asking for a code to claim your item on thesims3 page, I dont see why they cant do this with LEs. (not to mention the mac users who cant use origin)

    I pre-ordered the download version. What do I do now? Should I still expect to receive it on the 18th or should I be able to download it now?

    Umm well not to sound mean but "pre" means before time "order" means buy so you are buying the game before time but you are not going to get it any sooner than anyone else. Also by reading what you purchase you would know that it states an email will be sent to you after the release to guide you threw the download. If you are using origin after a day or so my pets game showed up on the "My Games" page with an un-clickable button reading "unreleased" once the game is released im confident it will say "ready to download"
