      And you had to preorder, or be at the stores on release day to get the limited edition. And, there isn't any other way. Hence why it was called limited edition

      You could search Half.com, eBay, and the Amazon marketplace for a used version.

      Well, if you have a friend, or someone else, that has the limited edition, I guess you can ask them if they can give you the file of the pet store.

      Won't work. I saw on the pets walkthru, they said that ONLY pets limited Edition could have the petshop. If you got normal pets the petshop would NOT work. I got pets limited edition, but I am too lazy to activate it. :lol:

      When you guys are talking about the Pet Shop are you referring to "Graham's Pet Swap Shop (Pet Store)" ?

      Because if so, I think if you buy off origin you will be able to get it.

      EDIT: Here is what I'm talking about, if it's something different please ignore me :XD:

      Here is the version of Pets I have on Origin:

      I don't have the limeted Edition and I have the pet store, when I registered my game on here it came up in my purchase history, and I downloaded it and I have everything that came in the store if you got the LE. Just get a normal version, register your game on this site, then check your purchase history and it might be there, but your not missing out on much.

      I did register mine as well, that's probably what did it. :mrgreen:

      If LittleMissShibby didn't buy it off Origin then I'm sure it's safe to assume anywhere you can get The Sims 3 Pets EP, you'll be able to get the Pet Store as long as it has a valid registration key.

      Thanks for that add Shibby. :mrgreen:

      The pet store is no big deal, I never even put it in my game, a waste of a lot.

      My husband got me the limited edition one from Best Buys at christmas. It came with 2 codes, 1 for the game itself and the other one was for the pet store. I didn't have to enter the second code in to get the pet store. When I entered the disc code I automatically got the store.

      You could probably recreate it, if you are into building. Basically, it just sells stuff for pets, not the pets themselves. Likely, you can convert an empty lot using the drop-menu and from there, build a "pet store" loaded with pet supplies. I haven't tried this, because I do have the Limited Edition. But give it a go and see if it works.

      Otherwise, unless you get lucky enough to find a used copy of it, I have no answer for you. Good luck!

      Didn't everyone get the pet store in the end, because they effed up with the LE stuff? I know a lot of people in the UK were cross because we had to buy it from play.com to get the hardcopy of the LE, which was more expensive than buying the regular version, only to find that we could've saved money and got the store anyway?

      I know there was some uproar anyway. People who didn't buy the LE got the LE content.

      I've got the game can't regiter the game as the code has bin used so I can't even get any of the stuff let alone the pet store I can't get another code I have only 1 code can't use it I got mine off ebay
    • SindocatSindocat Posts: 5,622 Member
      Well, yes - that's the drawback to buying your games used. I bought Pets through Origin, and I believe I did get access to the limited edition items and pet shop with that. Also, @LOULIGHTFOOT1976 , this thread is six years old, so it is likely to be closed shortly by the moderators.

      It doesn't matter. You did not purchase the game from an authorized reseller. No one on these forums can assist with that. The only ones who can, if they can at all, would be EA Customer Service. But you actually have to be willing to buy the game from EA or an authorized reseller to qualify for customer support because otherwise, technically, you are not really their customer.

      The proverbial ship has probably sailed long ago on the Limited Edition thing, though. That's why they call them "Limited."
