    Glad to see I'm not the only one, well not GLAD, but yeah. I got the Atomic pets stuff, but I was looking to have the Pet Store in my game before I started playing :?

    See my reply on page 58 of this thread... Customer Support confirms there is an issue, but they haven't given an idea yet how long it will take for them to fix it. I'm with Lendyyen, I suspect they activated it incorrectly. Perhaps they otherwise screwed up the fancy DRM they're doing to make sure it's inactive on non-LE editions. No idea. Just rather ticked there's been no update from EA to stop the confusion people are experiencing and/or give us an idea as to how long it's going to take them to fix it.

    Thank you so much Corvusdei, you have given us more information than EA has. At least we know that its not us messing this up.

    This might help some folks out. Please make sure you have INSTALLED The Sims 3 Pets Expansion Pack before downloading the venue. You will get errors if you try to download the venue prior to installing the EP.

    It was patched, installed, codes validated, purchase history updated, and all ready to go-- everything else worked fine. The pet beds, the costumes, the equine, feline, and canine venues-- it is only the download file for the pet shop venue which is not working, and it's not working for ANYONE who pre-ordered from Origin as far as I can find out. Already contacted customer support on this one, and they confirmed there seems to be an issue with the download. Are they not letting you folks know anything about it either?

    Frustrating. Wish they would release SOMETHING letting us know they're actually working on it.

    Hi there. I have a question about the limit edition content AFTER you put it into your game.
    I have the game, but as i was reading the fine print on the slip with the redemption Key, i noticed that it said that this key would expire a year from now. So I ask this: what happens if, after the code expires, something happens to the game, like the computer it was on dies and you have to get a new one and reinstall all your Sim games and expansions? Would you still be able to redeem the limited edition content again? or is there another way to get it back? Or do you just not get the content any more?

    I made sure the EP was installed prior to entering the code onto my account. I did everything as stated it should be done, and have quintuple checked to verify that everything is exactly as it is stated it should be. I am still receiving the:

    2011/10/18|17:10:08|OFB-SIM3:41103|Store Download Failure. Download manifest server error.||||

    So, please forgive me when I say it's not me... it's you :)

    I pre ordered limited edition, I got a red card that says the code will expire TODAY (Oct 18)

    It told me to register the game first, I used the code on the back of the manual, but I can not find a place to put the code from the red card, was I supposed to use the red card? Will I get a new code if I messed up? What do I do to get the limited edition exclusive venue and items?

    The Red card itself says go to www.TheSims3.com/incentive/PetsRedeem enter the code below and follow instructions.

    There is no place to enter the code, it just says I need to register my game... should I have used the red card code?

    GAUUUUUUH

    These items are so exclusive even the people who bought them can't download them.

    I havent gotten an option to download my limited edition content even though that's what I purchased. I registered my game, have it installed, but can't find where to download the pet shop or other content. Someone please help!

    How do you register an online game? I usually buy the hard copy & don't know.

    I too have installed, registered and patched my game and am unable to download from my purchase history. I continue to get an error pop up. Unfathomable.

    Many people have reported that the red card code is switched with the other code. Try switching them, it seems to work.

    You're right, and they're working on it. SimsVIP got a reply from Shannon Copur that they're doing what they can about the pet shop venue issue.

    Also, check the year on that, I believe the code expires Oct. 18 of next year? I got the digital download, so I am just trusting what others have said here.

    That is my problem too, there is no where to put the code. I've downloaded the atomic age pets just fine, but can not find the pet shop at all.

    It's quite frustrating!! That's the whole reason we pre-ordered the game was to get the limited edition content.. but it won't even download!

    I put both the code on the red card and the game code in the register a game code and it registered the game to get the game to register.
