Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this an expansion pack? Are they suddenly allowing us to use expansions without the base game after all these years?
I think they added it for those who’ll purchase the bundle (both Sims 3 and expansion) for Christmas – or the Limited Edition bundles sold in France with both games combined.
Ah, I see. I was going to say that certainly didn’t seem like something they would do after all these years.
