Odd Release Day for Cats & Dogs

GalacticGal · October 2017

Has anyone else noticed this anomaly? Mostly we get things released on either a Tuesday or a Thursday, so why is it that this highly awaited EP is coming out on a Friday? Don't believe me? Check your calendars. November 10th falls on a Friday. I'm not grousing, I'm genuinely curious.

Why do you think this is?

Cherryrose_x · October 2017

I'm not sure. Most other games are released on Fridays here in the UK at least.

Neia · October 2017

Because it's a worldwide release most likely

danishmuffin · October 2017

Idk but I'm okay with it, I'm off of work and classes on Fridays

The SimGurus have confirmed that from now on, expansion packs will be released on Friday so the whole world can enjoy it.
I like this change. I don't live in USA, so I got the expansion packs on thursday. It was so annoying to see the new expansion pack videos on YouTube as I want to play with it now but YouTubers from the America are already playing with it and uploading the videos.
Oh, somebody did it for me. Thank you @Moderator_Gagea .

This is good to know.

That's great. I always felt awful when we would get the packs before many of my European friends did. So glad they are finally having everyone get it the same day.

MidnightAura · October 2017

It’s good that it’s a universal release.

BreeSasha · October 2017

I like this better, especially if I want to take the day off

Dannydanbo · October 2017

No, no, it's November 10th. That's an even day.

Aeroprincess87 · October 2017

It comes out on Thursday for me. Thursday at 10pm MT.

Do you mind me asking where you are/what time zone you're in?

vosstheboss · October 2017

I get it Thursday at 9:00!

Origin stopped shipping out physical copies in 2014. No, you will not receive a disk in the mail.

GalacticGal · October 2017

Well, as it turns out for me, I won't get the download until around 11-ish AM. I have to go pick up my grandson from school by 1:15 pm, since Fridays are always a half-day — don't even ask me why. I never EVER got that in school. Not only that, but hubby set up my annual for that day at 2 pm.

So, I won't get much of a chance to mess around with the new EP. Can I scream, yet?

No. That will be a digital download. If you want a disc, buy it from a store like Walmart or Gamestop.

Oh, I'm not going to wait up that late! I turn into a pumpkin around eight, these days. LOL

MT stands for Mountain Time zone. It is in the USA.
My time zone is EET and that stands for Eastern European Time zone.
I get this pack on the 10th of November at 1.00 AM EET.
When it's 1.00 AM in my time zone, then it is 8.00 PM MT (If my math is correct)
Maybe that's why Americans get it on Thursday as it has already been released in the Europe.

So happy that it's all on one day now!
