Everything's going crazy now. I can hardly wait for the patch, let alone the game.
This Expansion has so much influence on the game, I may get it on release day.
Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.
Awmagod it's already almost 5.30 pm where I live. Crazy! So much work this week but PATCH day tomorrow & day off Friday. This is gonna go so faaaaaaast, I'm super excited
This is going to be a great week! I am able to return to my gym today (hubby keeping the kiddos that I love but need a break from, especially as I was a stay at home homeschool mom before the pandemic. Rewarding work, but tiring!) Patch is tomorrow and I have my storyline set up, then plenty of off the grid play this weekend with the new EP!!
I am so pumped, I still play Sims 3 regularly and this if my favorite way to play!!
Super tired, finished about 5% of what I intended to do in TS today, but eh. Cleaned out all my mods, backed up all my saves, ready to fall asleep soon and wake up to patch day
Anyone know if the release is earlier in New Zealand/Australia like a staggered release? Its 11pm release where I live and 12am on the east coast, so I wonder if its its earlier in New Zealand. If that's the case I'll probably hop over there and be a kiwi for a day so I can play eco living on Thursday.

Based on what time it will be at 12am, June 5th, PST. For me, if I preordered, I would be able to play at 1am my time.

Somehow I thought NZ gets it first, but if it's only 1 hour ahead of your time, then my guess is that you're getting it at their 12 am- so 11 pm your time? At least that's how it's for the UK and Europe (they get it our midnight, so 11 pm). But I'm not 100% sure if it's the same for you (all I know is that I use a VPN to get it when Australia gets it so I can play right after work instead of having to wait til midnight here )

Well I am in the US so I am unsure of the time differences in release. Basically I have a 11pm release in central US time so I'm curious if VPN hopping to NZ or Australia will get an earlier release. I can always just wait till 11pm.....but I want it earlier lol.

Oh yes absolutely if you're in the US, you can just use a VPN and download it when it's midnight their time. If NZ gets it first (so before Australia), you should be able to get it 8 am on June 4th. If they get it the same time Sydney gets it, then 10 am June 4th. If I compare the right time zones rn. So a whole lot earlier.

Don't quote me on that but this should be more or less correct. All dates are using UTC time.
BTW that update was supposed to be out on 2020-06-02 14:00:00 (also UTC time) but today it shows 2020-06-03 14:00:00, so 24 later.
@nerdfashion No Australia/NZ get it about 19 hours earlier, Europe about 9. Basically our times midnight June 5th, not PST midnight
I love watching those Aus/NZ timezone Simmers post about the pack. It's fun seeing their screenshots and then say they should get to bed but want to keep playing

Did just that yesterday! Wish I had a better tree to go inside the tree house though, but I’ll work with what I got.
This Expansion has so much influence on the game, I may get it on release day.
That will likely come out around 1 or 1:30 that's the usual time it comes out
Now you're making me wonder if it's possible to make pointy ears, so I could make an elf...
Guess I should take a break from fantasy.
I also like wandering the hills.
Lately, they've been coming out earlier. Around 10am EST. But with the work-from-home changes, I wonder if the release time will change again.
Me, clicking the thread title: "Yes, let's discuss Bess!".
I am so pumped, I still play Sims 3 regularly and this if my favorite way to play!!
They’re not that early in EST, PST yes but not EST. it’s either 12pm or 1pm EST, but I can’t remember which one. I’m almost sure it’s 1pm though
I may be thinking of stuff pack/game pack release time. One of them changed a while ago to 10am EST.
*Looks like the patch is planned for 10am EST, but it got delayed to June 3rd. https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/17523144/#Comment_17523144

So 10pm for the UK? Or would that be 11pm BST?
Edit: never mind, it says in Origin that it releases at 11pm for the UK.
