YOU GUYS!!!!!!! SEASONS????
I can't remotely believe you did this for me - I've been sitting here with my jaw in my lap for the last five minutes trying to wrap my head around what I was reading!
I try not to do thank you threads so as not to attract beggars to your generosity, but I gifted out my last simpoints in a contest & can't send you a message to thank you.
So forgive the thread, but I wanted to get you both in one place and thank you properly. (plus, I needed a place where I can come running for install help because I'm a complete technophobe! But I digress...)
So thank you, thank you, THANK you, from the bottom of my newly leaf-cluttered, frosty, rainy little heart! You guys are out of this world! (Dives in for group hug)

*hugs* to Brighty and enviro for being so generous and amazing. :D:D
We LOVE you, jilly! And we're so thrilled that we could surprise you!!
Happy Thanksgiving! Play, enjoy, have fun -- you deserve it! ((tackles Brighty and Jilly in a warm bear-hug))
Here comes the part where you begin to regret what you've done...I've never downloaded a game before, and I don't know the first thing I need to do! (feel free to point and laugh!)
Come back Brightly & envira! Come deal with what you have wrought! Lol!
Wanna know the really funny part? Brighty and I have never downloaded a game either!! We're both quite timid about technology -- that's why we ganged-up on you. We thought it would take TWO of us to figure out how to gift you the code! Bwahahahahaha!
This will be an hilarious spectacle, for sure!
Well, I *know* that you MUST download the Origins program ((I'm sorry, Jilly. . .)) and enter your code through that. Then you will be registered, and you'll be able to download and install from Origins.
As or the rest. . . we should ask one of the awesome tech-goddesses on the board for that info. Someone like blu or crin or the like. . . They would know what to do!
Hahahahahaha! :P
I promise I won't leave you -- we'll figure-out the scary-download together. . .
You won't be able to download from Amazon -- because it is tied to my account. But I did not install it (naturally, or it would be stuck with me and I could not gift it to you). I got the Product Keys (registration code).
You will need to use Origins. . . Unfortunately, I have never used it, so I'm not familiar with it. Which of our friends uses downloads rather than discs -- they will be able to tell us what to do.
WOW -- aren't we a motley little crew of technophobes? :P ((hugs jilly)) I won't leave you all alone. . .
I already have Origin (I think - don't we have to?) So I'll go poke around there. It'll give me time to back up my game!
Jilly-Just download the Origin manager, and use your Sims site info. After you log in, click the word Origin in the top left hand corner and go to redeem product code. You will get some confirmation screens and then it will show up in your launcher along with all your other games that are registered on the EA site and the Sims 3 site.
Go to the Seasons box icon and hit download. The rest is self explanatory.
Good luck! I use the DD all the time, although I do have the discs for most. I just prefer to not have a disc in the comp all the time, so I download.
Btw, my game runs like a dream after downloading AND there are a ton of things from the other eps that were not in the game before. So AWESOME!
And sorry about the disc, Faithy -- I would have sent you a code, too -- but I didn't actually know how to purchase one until yesterday. (I had to ask ashleykaymay to teach me how to purchase it! Hah!)
I'm backing up now, and then I've got this page saved to walk my thru it.
Thanks, Faith!
(And seriously - you guys will be getting it like crazy once I get a job!)
Hey, puddin'! Thanks!
I never knew that Origin word was even clickable - Faith thank you so much! I would've been fumbling around for hours!
20% so far...
You're so welcome sweet Jilly, but really all credit should go to dear Envira! I just did some research for her.
Don't be a goose, girly! You are PRICELESS -- and I needed A LOT more than just a little help! :P
I got my carnival and was so happy I forgot to take pics! I'll be back with some in the morning, since it's after midnight. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
