    I know a lot of players are concerned about how much replayability there is to the story, but I'm going to have several different saves and each of those will have a different level of story in them. The first save, of course, will be the one where I play through the story to get the full experience. After that, I'll play to get the town to the point in the story where I want that town to be since different saves will need different levels of story. Some with full story in progress, others no story at all and others at different levels of story. Once I get each save to the point I want the story to be for that save, I'll not continue the story or replay it in that save.

    Wondering if it has a different release time for each European time zone or does it use Paris time like Get Famous did.

    If everything goes as planned, the pack will release for everyone at the same time: 10AM PT / 6pm UTC.

    Usually Game Packs & Stuff Packs release at that time worldwide. It's Expansion Packs the ones that have a "midnight" release, which depends on your timezone.

    It'll be 7pm CET (Central European Time), so if you're somewhere in Europe that's not on CET, I guess it'll be different. Paris time = CET. Here's a time zone converter:

    I've been thinking that the developers might indeed be able to write other mysteries if they have a toggle off/ on button. Who's to say EP's for others might not become available?(Well, the developers.) Don't know if they thought to precode for dropping in say, the options of off, StrangerVille mystery on, Strangerville Mystery 2 on, Srangerville 3 on, etc. Of course, each mystery would require thousands of lines of code so I could very well see these would need to be EP's. I can well imagine this as a way to expand the franchise...

    These packs are never available when they say they will be. Why would I want to get to the day of the release and then wait 15 hours?
    Just say Feb 27!

    Yeah... just release at local time at midnight. Origin should be able to check for local time automatically.

    Your words have nothing to do with my words. But I hope you felt good saying it.

    That is most likely a quote misplace me I sometimes do it on other forums.

    Same here, I kept restarting origin and at some point it worked. I think many people are downloading it at the same time, that maybe affects the servers.

    You said "These packs are never available when they say they will be. Why would I want to get to the day of the release and then wait 15 hours?

    And I replied "Yes, they should release them at midnight local time".
    That is a logical response that has everything to do with your statement.

    Same for me. Website wasn't working for me at all. Origin just kept redirecting me to Sims 4 Digital Deluxe every time I clicked on Strangerville, so I went to Origin>Reload Page at the top of the launcher and that worked for me.
