All you do is go to your library, and go onto redeem a code, which is I-LOVE-THE-SIMS

I dislike EA and Origin, but you can't say no to this

Welp, its once again that time to open up the cancerous app on my PC thats called Origin... I am sorry PC! I will make it up to you someday T_T

You only need 70GB free on your hardrive

I'm downloading it now and it's only 12.57GB (of course it's compressed a bit but it won't balloon to 70GB)

Well, i was exaggerating, but i just checked on the illegal side and i see it as a 40GB download.

Are you sure the 12.5 GB contains add-ons ?

Edit : I said BS again, it's the sims 3 that is 50GB compressed. Sorry.

Note to self : Get Sims 4 in 10 years.

Will save myself a couple of 178$£

just redeemed it, I've never played sims any good sims 2
