    *IMPORTANT* Midnight Hollow Release Information *READ BEFORE YOU MAKE A THREAD*

    in The Sims 3 Store General Discussion
    It seems to be a common thing recently that players are posting to inquire on when the world will be available to them on September 26th and other information.

    Therefore, below is the information regarding the official release time of Midnight Hollow, so please read this carefully and plan on doing other things until release date.

    Please do not spend all night waiting for the world to come out on Midnight, as it's not going to happen. (Unless it's actually midnight at the time below for you).

    The release time of Midnight Hollow will be around these times:
    10:00 AM to 1:00 PM Pacific Standard United States Time
    Via SimGuruSmitty on Twitter:

    I know you are all eager for Midnight Hollow tomorrow (I am too!) but make sure you wait until the cache fully clears on the website. 11am or 12pm Pacific Time is the safest if you want all of the right information on the store website. (Hint: Gold is on sale). I look forward to hearing from you tomorrow! *SQUEE!*

    Please use this time converter in order to figure out when it will be released in YOUR area. I know there's plenty of other time converters, so if someone has a better one, please post and I'll add it.

    http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/gmt-to-pdt-converter

    Also, it will NOT be sold in a Simpoint Bundle. Nor will it be sold in retail stores.

    It will be sold for simpoints for the following prices:

    Standard (World Content + Savvy Seller's Collection only): 2450 Simpoints
    Gold (World + PC + Venue *Gold Star* Content): 4350 Simpoints

    Sale price is UNANNOUNCED and will be added upon the world being available for sale.

    Gold edition information will be added as soon as its live!

    The Venue will NOT, and I repeat, NOT be sold separately as there are no plans on selling it separately any time soon. So please think about what you are purchasing before you hit that purchase button.

    One mistake, and you may end up having to go to CS for a refund...

    Hope this clarifies things,
    AznSensei

      Thanks! I love the heads up posts, so may questions get asked Wednesday night/early Thursday morning before the store releases it and much more if it is a world :) You may want to post this on the stores forum too unless you worry about duplicate posting, if that is the case I'll post and quote you :) Just wanna make sure everyone has this info :)

      Depends on your country. if you live in a country/area that would be 27th during PST 26th 10-1pm then it would be released early on the 27th. same time as everyone else just different time zone. It's released based on that time period at 3am-6am on the 27th for me

      Even with the time differance it would still be the 26th here if they release it at 9am - that's the same thing that happens on the Thursdays they release stuff - they release it at 9am US time and its 6pm the same day here in uk. So I cant understand why according to the page we have to wait a full 24 hours for the world which we don't usually have to do.

      Well anyway will check back later tonight (after parents evening at my Eldest daughters preferred choice of Secondary school lol) and see if the world is avaialbe for us poor UK Simmers

      another thing I am confused about

      It says (for me at least) that Savvy Seller's Collection is available with the Standard Edition of the world, but does not say that anything is included with the gold. Again is this just a mistake by the store team in their wording cos it could be very confusing. I know AznSensi has posted that the Standard does not contain the PC but the wording on the screens is very confusing and many people could be mislead by this

      Is the savvy seller colelction available in the standard set? I'm not too fussed about getting the toy venue, but I do want the savvy seller collection.

      :shock: :?: Well... what I am confused about isssssss... If you choose the Gold rather than the standard... will you only be able to have a toy store or will you have the option to have a regular store "with" the "option" to have a toy store??? (as in both ways, ya know)... it's really confusing. I don't want to get stuck with only being able to have a toy store... but I would like the option to have one if I want... anybody got any thoughts on that? and..........

      also I agree with Msrednotdead that posted the pics... it doesn't say you get the premium content included with the Gold edition... :?:

      I want Midnight Hollow so bad, but I guess I will have to wait. I called the EA Help session and they said that users been having problems with buying SimPoints and they don't know when it's fixed. I wanna scream.
