When can I purchase Realm of Magic?

When will the Game Pack Realm of Magic be available for purchase? I know it is releasing on September 10th, but I have money now and would like to pre-order. Thank you.

@cwillis0725, for PC and Mac it is coming on September 10.  For consoles it is October 15! 

Don't know when you can purchase it but it should be soon since it is a GP.

Thank you for the reply, but I am looking for a pre-order date.

@cwillis0725, sorry, I was excited! :eahigh_file:  But EPs you can pre order ahead of time, while SPs you can't preorder at all.  I think you can pre order GPs similar to EPs but I could be mistaken.

@cwillis0725, turns out I was mistaken... Only Expansion Packs are available for Pre-Order!   Well, at least you won't have to wait long! September is just 3 weeks away! 

Edit:  I meant to say September 10th (not Sept. 3rd) .

@cwillis0725 I would wait to pre-order, although I am buzzing to buy it too.
There was an issue last time when Island Living came out that had so many people who pre-ordered get a glitch with the payment which then could not get the game to download. I had to get in contact with EA for help.
It was sorted but a headache and messy for the first few hours before I was able to get the help I needed to EA. Would wait a little while, but at least it's coming soon

@RogueToad16, and @cwillis0725 , there is no "waiting to pre-order" because there is no pre-order. (And even if there was, you wouldn't "wait" for it, you would just pre-order it ).  So there is not choice … we all have to wait to purchase it the moment it is available!   But it is only a week and a half away, so that's good! :eahigh_file:

@PugLove888 Amen! :D I don't care that it comes out on a Tuesday. I am going to be so tired on Wednesday because I am going to be on the new pack for HOURS! Really want to see what is new and what our Sims can do.

@RogueToad16Lol, that's likely what will happen with me as well. Gonna spend the first few hours just looking around at everything, all the lots, new objects, clothes. Then spend the next few days going through the story.

Probably spend the next month making up story ideas and converting come existing sims to wizards.

@Psychotps Been doing that myself with the stories.
Since the Island Living release, I've been playing this family since the 1860s, every generation going at 20 years (1860, 1880, 1900, 1920, 1940, 1960, 1980, currently 2000s).
It's quite tricky and challenging to find diverse outfits and hairstyles for all the sims in the family, and for them not having a TV :D lol.
I could totally make the Realm of Magic fit in as part of a future apocalyptic era.
