I-LOVE-THE-SIMS
Remember that this is only available until the 31st July 2014, so redeem now!
Little note, it can also be activated from the Origin web store, in the account management page, without the need to download or launch the Origin client. I can’t tell the exact link because, even though I’ve set my language preference to English, the store just ignores it and uses my geographic location to (wrongly) guess which language I want.
Also, it’s only available for Windows 🙁 …. of course. When will us Mac owners get a break and have things be fair?!
Stop using Mac. 🙂
I’ve downloaded it successfully, but It doesn’t start, I’m trying to play through origin in windows 8…is the game compatible with W8?
Try right-clicking the .exe in the game’s directory and selecting Troubleshoot Compatibility. I had a similar problem with MySims, but when I did that it worked beautifully.
Thanks a lot for this information 🙂
