PC Digital Download Games: The Sims 3 (PC or Mac) $7.50, The Sims Medieval $5, Expansion Packs from $7 (expired)

Thanks to those with comments re: changing drive to install Origin games. Bought Medieval and was able to install on my "game drive" and not my SSD.

I am so glad that I held out on Sims Medieval as this is the lowest price.
I cried for missing out on it 2 months ago but got a better deal now. Thanks a million.

In for 1 copy of the Sims 3, thanks OP.

i noticed that Origin was just released for Mac...wonder if i could've bought the 'pc version' and just have used the code there...cause the mac downloader is clocking in at a snail's pace (115 hours left, what!?!?)

Quote from tmy237 : It says, Download time: 4 hours - 12 hours on broadband Does it really take 12 hours? Geesh.

I started downloading about 20 minutes ago, and it looks like it will take about 90 minutes for me...

Thanks!

When are the going to release the Sims 3 with all the expansion packs in one bundle?

Probably never.

What is the difference between this "Sim 3 Refresh" download $7.49 and "Sim 3" download $29.96 ?

I've never downloaded a game and haven't purchased one for PC probably since the original Black and White. But now I have a new computer and I'm ready to give this a shot. In for Sims 3!

Thanks OP got Sims 3 and plan on getting Supernatural, World Adventures and Seasons expansions tomorrow when they go on sale.

Also, I've already downloaded 15% in about 8 minutes. So, if you're complaining about speed, that's on your end.

dead for pc

Since my wait time for EA support is 70 mins, maybe somewhere here can help me out...

I was trying to register for the Sims community and it tells me my serial is invalid and I've done it soooo many times now, even with copy and paste, so I know it's not on my end.

Any ideas of why this is happening? I downloaded the PC version.

EDIT: I actually just got through with someone. I'll see how this goes...

EDIT: Ok, so he gets into my account and then tells me to check and see that it is registered. It was, so I guess something did work, after all.

I don't know if it was him or I'm just dumb, but he told me to check my account and it was registered after all. He made me feel like I had messed up, but I'm not positive. I say check your profile for the Sims Community on the website and see for yourself. If it isn't there, do up a live chat. They will get into your account and check.

EDIT: Sorry, I edit too much...

If I had to guess, I'd say it registered the game for me automatically and was trying for absolutely no reason. But, it for whatever reason yours isn't on the website, still get live chat help. Hope it works out!
