    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    I've been playing on the digitized copy for the past month I guess it is. Today I got the notice my time had expired and I needed to renew my membership (I never subscribed) or purchase a copy of the game. ??? I was told I had to upload this copy because EA was no longer supporting something or other. I have a 64-bit computer so I shrugged and downloaded it anyway. Well, in my library there was my original Limited Edition of the Sims4. Yay, all is not lost. Not only that, but I caught a glimpse of the scene just over the roof line of my lot. It's amazing and much better than what I have been looking at. Yes, it's winter in my game save, but the trees are positively glistening like I've never seen them since I got Seasons. I'll take this copy over the 'digitized' one any day of the week. If I think about it, I'll snap a photo to share.

      I guess I don't understand what you are saying.

      I had the same thing happen. I didn't approve of or do anything with that free month of origin access, but on the 21st I got the notice that I had to renew my membership to basic or buy the game. Considering I've had the game since release day, I was not too happy with that message.

      I got on chat with EA and after an hour and a half, me tracking down two emails (one to prove I purchased the base game and then one to prove I purchased the digital deluxe upgrade) they finally gave me back my base game and deluxe upgrade.

      I wasn't told anything was no longer supported, I didn't even have to redownload anything.

      EA offered a free month on Basic origin subscription but I have literally not noticed any difference in origin itself or playing the game

      I was told to download the digital is all I know. In fact, I couldn't have access to the game until I did so. Others on this forum told me it was nothing to worry about. I was very surprised to see I had to renew anything. I didn't take out a subscription in the first place. I don't play any other electronic game, other than the Sims, so why would I pay for a monthly subscription? :open_mouth: Oh, well, I have access to my game, either way. And, yes, not only have I had the Limited Edition since release, I pre-ordered the dern thing! I've been playing the Sims since 2005.

      What I may have mixed up in my original post was a need to upload the Legacy edition. But I do know that one day it wouldn't let me play unless I downloaded that Digitized version. Huh. Oh, well.

      Thank you for your responses.
