Yeah but Maxis is owned by EA and EA produces the sims since The Sims 2 so yeah it’s definitely EA.

Because your time zone is so far ahead, it would be on the 23 for you. He just meant that they would release the pack to everyone all at once, but for different time zones it will be different times of day.

I don’t think it would be released at different times of day. Not technically. Like, 12 midnight my time wont be the same in other places. I think that’s what they mean. It was mentioned that the game will be released at 12 midnight per each time zone tho.

It releases 12:00am tonight… so technically, yes that means the 23rd of June as when it hits midnight, the date changes. But we basically get it TODAY!!! xD

I am from Australia too and am confused about the release time/date. Origin says 23rd June…. but the official release date is meant to be the 22nd June. It is currently about 2 hours away from midnight (22nd June) so does that mean it will be available for us in 2 hours or do we have to wait until Friday night at midnight (making it the 23rd)….. CONFUSED.

Yeah, I’m a bit skeptical about this too. Their countdowns for Australia are always so wrong and I end up getting my hopes up when it turns out it won’t be another 20 hours from when the countdown says haha. Also, is it just me or is there not a countdown for us? It just cuts off.

I think this countdown is off. I am in central standard time in Wisconsin, United States. I am pretty sure the last release came out at 10 PM. Your countdown predicts it will come out at 11pm. I just thought I’d let you know but I appreciate your countdown!

If you live in the US, the game will release at Midnight Eastern time on friday. So if you live in any of the other time zones, it’ll be Thursday night (example: If you live in california, it’ll release at 9pm Thursday.

yeah, I’m really confused. British time says 21st of June?? They’re not that far behind us… This countdown doesn’t make sense. I’ve seen people complain about this before but “June 22nd worldwide” is a seriously inaccurate thing to put out there. Why not just say “Release date June 22nd [insert timezone here]” and then clarify that it will be 23rd for Australia etc. June 22nd worldwide should MEAN June 22nd worldwide.

You get it at the same time as the rest of the world, but because of time zones there’s a couple hour difference

Technically everyone gets it at the same time. It’s just that when you’re in a different part of the world you live in a different time zone. For example the time in America is hours apart from the time in Europe.

This countdown is most definitely wrong. The pack comes out for me at 1:00 pm on the 22nd and this timer is counting down to 1:20 pm (for me) on the 22nd.

Your counter is wrong, at 12:24am 6/19/18 EDT your counter says 3 days, 1 hour and 34 minutes. That would make the release time at 2am and not midnight.

Sim Guru Nick has confirmed it is a midnight release, so as soon as it hits midnight in your time zone its available to download, in America i think they have a different time zones, as soon as it hits midnight in on time zone it’ll be 9pm in another time zone but it will release in the midnight time zone and will be available to those in the 9pm time zone.

No, the price is the same. Pre-ordering doesn’t make the price more expensive. It simply means as soon as it hits the release time it starts downloading straight away. There is no difference in price.

Pre-ordering actually doesn’t have any benefits this time like an early release, it just already purchased so as soon as the game comes out where you are it will start downloading.
