    I'm seriously celebrating with a Pizza Tonight.

    I'm going all out tonight. I have a Zojirushi rice cooker, and I just washed and rinsed sushi rice to cook during my last hour of work. Once the rice cools down, I'm making homemade spicy tuna sushi rolls and a ramen package I found in the cupboard.

    I also have some Japanese Kit-Kat bars on hand, too.

    My anti virus has VPN options but, I don't know why, I just prefer waiting until the proper release time.

    Maybe it's from when I was a young teen and used to beg to be allowed to stay up til midnight on Xmas Eve and open presents and then go to bed. Totally left Xmas day flat and stale, would never do that ever again.

    That is so cool. Enjoy!!

    2m Til my download complete. I know I'm going to be crashing every 10m but I don't care. I don't know what to do first, try to change their clothes, move and edit with the new build stuff the house I've been prepping, or just move them and dive right into sledging with the toddler. Argggh.

    How do you guys do that? Origin is acting weird. I preordered SE, and I think there might be a problem trying to download while connected to Japan? Using Windscribe.

    Idk I always use the Australia server via Windscribe, it's very stable. However remember:
    - First quit Origin completely
    - Turn on VPN
    - Log into Origin
    - EP should be downloadable
    - Download

    Then usually I put origin in offline mode and turn the vpn off but this time for some odd reason I had to leave it on for a bit because although it downloaded, when I started the game both Snowy Escape and Batuu (which I don't own) were invisible. Not greyed out, just gone. With VPN it worked fine. Tested again before turning my PC off just now and everything was there in offline mode again too. But there's definitely some weird stuff going on!

    I use a different VPN but what I have to do is, make sure Im connected to the internet but do not have Origin open. Start the VPN and connect to Japan. THEN start origin. Go to the sims 4 page in my library and go to expac addon. It should be listed there as bought and available to download.

    I've done all those steps, but Origin is too smart. It says my game is up to date.

    So I preordered for $39.99 and in Australia, it's $49.99. When I go to the store, I can purchase it for the Aussie price, but it won't download for the American price. Not even after right clicking the game in my library and manually updating.

    Oh well. Guess I have to wait.

    It happens sometimes when you switch networks like this. Delete origin and reinstall it. Won't affect your saves at all :)

    Thanks, I got it fixed. :* I tried one last ditch effort, but my preorder still doesn't show because of the $10 difference. I guess this would be a good way to download early if you buy at another country's price.
