Calipip4, how do you get into the live chat? I've been having trouble finding it via google or otherwise.

You dont need to own any of the sims game, or any game :mantongue: just go to product code I-LOVE-THE-SIMS AND Bam, u get the whole thing

Calipip4, thank you!. I was just wondering because I downloaded earlier some other games in Origin taht normally won't need connection to play (they are like 1player games qith no content online whatsoever, for example Alice MAdness Returns) but still Origin makes me have a connection to play.

I had already seen about the saved games, but I was not sure about how "good"would they merge taking in account all the content I donwloaded o created myself, or if I would need to install every extra content again (that would take me ages). Anyone can bring any light to it?

Mine is downloaded at 100% (it says) and then it says "download failed" and won't do anything else. Then it says "download is paused." I get the same thing every time I unpause it.

I have a Mac instead of a PC, but I have an Origin account and everything (from Sims 3 and I believe I downloaded a Sims 2 online once). Will there be access for us Apple users for this ultimate collection?

i downloaded the game from origin but when i try to play it the game wont come up. I saw someone else on this site have the same problem and they had to have a downloadable version of the sims 3 wich i dont have. I also dont have the disk version.When i pressed repair game in origin it came up with an error messege

Potentially stupid question - I'm downloading the Ultimate Collection right now, but I'm currently having some computer issues and probably can't install and play it right away before they're sorted out. Will I still be able to do that later, even after the offer has expired?

UPDATE 7/31: The code has now expired and cannot be redeemed anymore. However, if you did redeem the code in the past already, you can of course still start downloading and installing the game in Origin in order to play. Have fun!

What if you've been trying to redeem the code but an error message showed the entire time?
