    I have no idea when the EP will be out exactly in Finland. I guess not in the midnight. It's nerve wrecking to wait when I don't even know how long.

    I'm in the same time zone, and Origin says 20:00. You can check on the website.
    Thank you. :)

    Can we bundle new EPs ? I haven't played in a while and have yet to purchase Dream Home Decorator and Paranormal packs. It'd be nice to get them all together.

    I never received the bonus stuff. Funny they processed the money , but not my order. :D

    It will be 3am on the 23rd of July when Australia gets the download.. We do not get anything early.

    I'm pretty sure I saw EA informing that this pack will *not* be released on midnight, but later in the day. Might have been posted on this board somewhere, but like others said, your local time should be stated on the Origin site.

    It doesn't matter where you are in the world this is when you will be able to download CL.

    So, about 6pm tomorrow for the UK. Nicely after work and tea :)

    I am very excited, as I got my code off CD Keys today, so I'm all ready to go. I thought I'd have to wait for it.

    Did you get your bonus content? I got my code too, and it's all unlocked in Origin and everything, but no bonus content. :| I suppose it's possible might not get it till tomorrow when the pack is fully avaliable.

    @Haflinger I think only when preordered through Origin and/or participating vendors. I ordered from EB Games in Canada and it includes the bonus content according to their website.

    I haven't seen new EPs as a bundle. Keep a look out for when they do decide to include it in a bundle.

    1 day for some but 2 days for me. It is Wednesday and I'll be purchasing it on Friday.

    I'm wondering if it's to stop people from using VPNs to download the packs early, though I can't imagine why they'd care about that.

    @elanorbreton 6pm is too late for me (I prefer simming in daytime). I'll hold off so you can tell me all about the bugs! :)

    If you haven't had your bonus content or the full patch try signing out and quitting Origin and then starting it again.

    I found my pack hadn't downloaded and found this started it properly in spite of just being told to Refresh the page.

    I tried that, it didn't work. I don't know why preorder is so hard. I pay then they put it in my packs to be downloaded upon release. But no, it is still telling me to preorder. :D

    It used to be fun opening up the game at midnight to check out what's new for an hour before I hit the sack. But no midnight release this time? Eh I guess I'll just go to sleep like a responsible person.

    When I used to pre-order from Origin, the game would be available the day before the release date at 9 pm. Haven't pre-ordered in awhile because I always ended up staying up way to late. :#

    Especially if you purchased it and its just giving it to you earlier.

    A little bummed I won't be able to get the pack until the 30th. If it hasn't been done already, I hope someone starts a screenshot thread so I can see all the awesomeness of Cottage Living until I can play it.
