    in The Sims 4 Packs Discussion
    I go on Origin and it says the game is available now but I know it isn't coming out until next week. But there is no place to pre-order so do I just have to wait until the 26th and buy it online then? I suppose pre-ordering digital downloads isn't so important as in the "old days" when physical copies had to be set aside to ensure you could get your copy. Now there are infinite "supplies". It is just confusing.

      You have to wait till Tuesday. EPs are the only thing you can preorder.

      Thank you CLP...I was wondering the same and worried because I couldn't find where to purchase.

      I thought I recalled having bought *everything* early on Sims 4. Strange, indeed...

      I believe you have to wait until 10:00 AM PST. Right now it's still 3:30 PM on Monday there.

      Here's a conversion chart for your time zone: https://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_US-CA.aspx

      It's 10am in my timezone but to be fair I am at work and won't get home until the afternoon when it hopefully will be available to play. Super stoked for it

      It won’t come out in places like Australia until Wednesday morning. The pack won’t be out for another 18 hours.

      Yes, in *your* timezone, lol. It's 7PM on a Monday where I am. Your safest bet on any release date is to take wherever the company is into consideration when they announce release times.

      A quick google search told me that the pack will become available for purchase on Origin starting at 9:30AM PT / 6:30PM CET / 5:30PM BT on the 26th. If neither of these are your timezone, find a converter online to see the exact time it'll be out for you.

      But, yeah, it won't be out for another 16 hours or so.

      Thank you so much, albeit the "lol" is unfortunate and unkind. 😐 I'll use the converter in future.

      "Your safest bet on any release date is to take wherever the company is into consideration when they announce release times."

      i'm in germany and i was always able to download sims right after midnight, they only released a date, so that date is when they should publish, if they want to do it on a specific time of that day in their timezone they should say so, so people can go and use a converter.

      That's true for Expansion Packs, but not for Gamepacks. Gamepacks always release at 19:00 in Germany.

      Midnight downloads happen only for expansion packs. Game packs and stuff packs release at 10am PST.

      It will release at 10 AM California, USA time. From there, based on where you live, figure out the time it will release for you based on that.
    • AriaMad2AriaMad2 Posts: 1,380 Member
      It’s coming out at 4:30 AM in my country. At least y’all don’t have to stay awake if you want to get the pack immediately!!
