    Ok that HK server was driving me nuts, paid the 1 dollar, switched to Australia and there we go, will be done in 4 minutes hahahaha

    It's doooooooooooone (ok, brain, first cook, then play :sweat_smile: I just couldn't bear looking at that slow *** download, made me feel like I'm stuck in the past)

    Work REALLY didnt want to end but I AM FINALLY DOWNLOADING. Via what must be the slowest server available in HK but hey lol, here we gooooo

    YEY! Have fun! :blush:

    Aw haha I will, but while this thing will take 30 minutes to download (which is crazy, usually would take like 3-5 minutes tops haha), I think I'll make some dinner. I'm hungry and EL needs to be enjoyed with a full, happy stomach :D You waiting for the UK download or where do you reside?

    Yep I'm in the UK and very 'patiently' waiting for 11 pm. I did consider a VPN but I think I can make it until tonight :smiley: Got a few things to play in DU before moving onto EL (getting my sim his degree first :wink: ) Enjoy your game (and dinner :D )

    NZ has the game already? Just another reason to be jealous of NZ! lol

    Do you guys think this game will be able to be added to a bundle, or probably not since it is so new? I don't really know how that works...

    How to VPN is it safe ?

    I personally use TunnelBear and what it does is connect you to the internet in another country so that way you can download the game sooner.

    You can NOT BUY THE GAME VIA VPN!! VPN is ONLY for downloading early ☺️☺️

    Agreed TunnelBear is also great! But it's harder to get extra GB, so I usually use Windscribe hha.

    So you already downloaded right AquaGamer? Looking forward to your pics!!

    Downloading as we speak! Also remember to turn it off once it starts downloading to save your MB and then you only turn it back on to start the game.

    Haha yes totally, I always turn it off as soon as it's downloaded :D ENJOYYYY

    No no no, you turn it off once it STARTS downloading because the vpn isn’t going to be as fast as your home WiFi plus you’ll just waste gigs for your vpn. Once it’s finished you turn it back on to start the game and once the game is opened you turn it back off. ☺️

    For real though, I have NO idea why this works for other people lol. It never does for me. Just tried it again, and when I turn the VPN off, Origin will refuse to continue downloading. I always have to leave the VPN on, download, then out Origin in offline mode, so I can play without it going all haywire on me. Is that just me? Maybe I need a VPN crash course haha, but whatevs, I'll play sooooon.....

    All I did was click the big circle on Windscribe to disconnect. Worked fine.

    My VPN doesn't have New Zealand listed. Is the game released in any other country so far?

    Nevermind! Downloading now

    Yeah that works but then origin, in my case, immediately stops downloading and won't start again til I restart the vpn 🤷🏻‍♀️

    @wrswrs2 tbf NZ got the game at 2 am their time, don't think most of them stayed up that long 😂

    @ParmaViolet87 I really admire patience, it's just a virtue my hyperactive brain doesn't have 😅 like, at all. Was so hard to focus on making dinner with all the excitement but it's okay, rapidly eating my fish now, then play!

    I mean I totally believe you guys, I remember trying it the first time years ago too, and did just now again, and a few times in between, and for me it never works xD I wish it did cause then I could use the plum HK server but I can't 😂

    Me too, I am waiting. It is tempting to do it via VPN, but I can wait. Besides, I am currently doing a Monica and alphabetizing my digital music collection :D

    @friendsfan367 yay, Friends is awesome.

    Actually, I'm pretty tired today so I decided to go to bed, even though its only 7.25 lol. I have my dressing gown in easy reach with some fluffy socks ready in the pockets, just in case I wake in the early hours and really need to tiptoe down to play :D

    Also, wow, I don't even really know what to do haha. I just put a bunch of solar panels on my house, and am reading through the N.A.P.'s - haven't even really visited Evergreen Harbor yet! It seems so large :D

    How are you getting more points, I’m having trouble figuring out how to do it.

    I think you just have to do friendly interactions.

    Chris threw a kava partner and has a degree - introducing yourself to a new sim get you 4 points, but just being friendly barely any. But it's weird cause when you move into Evergreen you just kinda get points (and my other sim suddenly had 34, she's also doing a distinguished degree though, so maybe that's why? I didn't pay attention before talking to Knox!).

    Also .. is ANYONE getting massive American Beauty vibes from this? :joy:

    My sim was earning influence left and right. Got quite a bit from protesting. By the way, did anyone check their bill information? All of my homes show $300 for the tax bill. Even the mansions.
