    Nice Find, Played ALOT of The Sims 3 but never picked up 4
    glad i waited :D

  • SlappersOnly on 22/05/2019 - 05:24

    Cool.
    And how good is the game, without purchasing the $500+ worth of DLC?

    • Miss B on 22/05/2019 - 07:44

      I think you can get a fair bit out of it. I think this is more about getting people hooked before Sims 5 is released.

    Won't let me buy. Only gives me the option to "Buy as a Gift" (definitely don't own it), and I can't gift it to myself either.

    • Lane Myer on 22/05/2019 - 06:33

      Same here. Looks like a few people are having the same issue. Some can buy via the app, some by the website. And some, neither of those.

      • Lane Myer on 22/05/2019 - 06:37

        Refreshed the page a couple of times after logging in, and it's let me get it.

      I had the gift problem with the Origin client however, I was able to add it to my own library via the site.

      • g12345567 on 22/05/2019 - 07:38

        Same. Ended up having to buy through web site to add this game to my library.

    • Friendly Troll on 22/05/2019 - 07:35

      Can't add using Origin client. But via website was fine!

      If it's free to gift let me know your username/email and I'll gift it to you.

    • RanKKI on 22/05/2019 - 08:50

      Same here,
      but in other language, e.g. zh-TW (https://www.origin.com/aus/zh-tw/store/the-sims/the-sims-4), it's works for me.

    • mange on 22/05/2019 - 09:29

      Same happened to me but it worked via website. I'm guessing it's because I already had the game in my library because I tried it once. What about you guys?

        Can confirm it was exactly two seconds.

        • B-Man02 on 22/05/2019 - 19:00

          It was 2.4 seconds so rounded down. had wifi on so was using NBN or it would of been 2 exactly with 4g mobile data.

    A downgrade compared to Sims 3 and even Sims 2 gameplay wise, but for free I will give it a try.

    • Koffee on 23/05/2019 - 22:06

      Only cos EA bowed to community pressure after release and included pools in the base version due to outcry.

  • 4tran on 22/05/2019 - 09:12

    Added to wishlist, went to wishlist, added to library.
    Did it all through the website.

    Opened Origin app and Sims 4 is there!!!

      Its not that hard really, just take the career which pays the most (usually the army / astronaut path).

      Other hacks such as, asking someone to move in - they bring in their cash, then kick them out lol (dont know if it works in Sims 4 but did in Sims 2)

  • techeboy00 on 22/05/2019 - 11:57

    This is just the 10% of the whole game right?

          When we moved to this property we were told it would be here by Jan-Feb 2017 but it continued to be delayed and now they're saying I will get it this month. It's FTTN so it will be crap anyway.

          • fastzoomzoom on 22/05/2019 - 17:01

            @Ostrk: What a headache. It may be easier going on a fixed 4g plan if you don't download that much. I'd expect it to arrive maybe 2020+

          Haha it’s fine mate. You would be able to add it to your library on a Mac through the browser, then download on PC. I think that’s what you we’re asking? Not sure 😛

          • staz on 22/05/2019 - 19:56

            @Zazer: Yes, exactly 😂 but i did notice the "PC" in the title too 🙄

              @staz: An Apple computer is a PC.
              Mac is just a "nickname" for one brand, namely Apple.
              Hence PC in the title which is absolutely correct.

              • staz on 22/05/2019 - 21:16

                @Lysander: Thanks for clarifying. Oh dear, I'm having a good one.

                I've always thought of PC as Windows and Mac as MacOS… I'm checking out for the night.

                  @staz: PC refers to IBM Personal Computer or IBM PC. Computers that were not branded IBM were PC clones or PC compatible. Now everyone generally refers to all Windows based computers as PCs. You can claim that your Mac is your own personal computer but it is not a PC. Mac even fits the definition of a personal computer but it's still not a PC.

                  • Zazer on 25/05/2019 - 13:34

                    @drewmoney: Nope. PC stands for Personal Computer. That's like saying that your hair dryer isn't a hair dryer because it's not the Dyson Hair Dryer, even though it "fits the definition of a hair dryer but is still not a hair dryer". Do you see how ridiculous that sounds?

                    A Mac is a PC. It's not a Windows PC, but it is still a PC nevertheless.

                    • rinco on 25/05/2019 - 19:17

                      @Zazer: You sound like the PC in Apple's Get a Mac advertising campaign (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48jlm6QSU4k)

                          PC: Playing some games.
                          Mac: wich one?
                          PC: all of them :D

                      @Zazer: It's almost as if you didn't read my entire comment. You also clearly do not understand the context. At least I illustrated the difference between PC (as in PC vs Mac) and using the term personal computer, rather than just being dismissive.

                      In the context of post titles being marked [PC, MAC], PC clearly stands for a Windows computer. That is why you see posts in here with the title of [PC] or [PC, MAC].

                      Your analogy of a hair dryer doesn't even fit the context, nor does it even apply to the conversation at hand. That's not like saying your hair dryer isn't a hair dryer. A better analogy would be the difference between a Crock-Pot and a slow cooker. Crock-pot [IBM PC] and slow cooker [personal computer].

                      Yes, a Mac is a personal computer. I never said it was not. I even said that it meets the definition of a personal computer. That means that it is a personal computer.

                      To differentiate between platforms the terms used are PC, MAC, Linux, iOS, Android, etc. This is why a Mac is a personal computer, but it's not a PC in this context.

                      Try going into an Apple store and tell them you want to buy a PC and let us know how it works out. If you can't venture out in the world because the sunlight burns your skin, just Google: PC vs MAC. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=PC+vs+MAC
