Countdown to the release of The Sims 4 Get Famous

The Sims 4 Get Famous Expansion Pack is releasing in just a couple of days!

All of the release dates and times that you can see down below are scheduled for a midnight release (some of them being close to a midnight release). We confirmed the dates with SimGuruNick as well to provide exact information on when the pack will come out.

As you can see down below, the pack has 5 different release schedules in total, with each release belonging to a different time zone / group of countries that we’ve added down below.

In case you don’t know, this pack will release worldwide on the same day but with a staggered release across different time zones. Down below you can find countdowns for multiple time zones. Make sure you bookmark this article and also stay tuned on our YouTube Channel as we’ll be throwing a Launch Party for The Sims 4 Get Famous – counting down to the release of Get Famous in Europe and America.

Also, make sure you join us as we livestream The Sims 4 Get Famous LIVE and countdown together to the European and American release of the game!

Wait so it’s not a couple of days until release, but about 14 days? Got my hopes up then!

Nah the November 6th Release Date was incorrect, apparently they missed the “1” in “16”.

I’m confused. We’ve always known the release was November 16th since the reveal trailer.
The only thing related to November 6th and Get Famous is the Twitch stream on November 6th.

They might not know that “couple” means 2. That got me excited and then disappointed too 🙁

depends on what part of Canada, but for north and south America we will all have on New York time for the release of the game, so look up the time difference between your providence and New York. so then when you look at the count down just add or subtract the time differance. 🙂

Just letting you know that the AEST timer is incorrect. Although too little too late really. But because of daylight saving in Australia, Sydney is on AEDT, not AEST time and thus will have the pack released at 1:00 am in Sydney.

So in AEDT time, the pack will be released at 1:00 am on 16th November (Sydney (NSW) Melbourne (VIC) Canberra (ACT) Hobart (Tasmania))
And in AEST time, the pack will be released at 12:00 am on 16th November (Brisbane (QLD))

So either the name of the Australian/New Zealand timer should be changed, or the countdown should be rectified to account for AEDT not AEST.

Wait, I thought packs always were released at the same time globally. I’m in NZ and remember having to wait til 5am next day to download packs…unless they’ve changed that.

when I got Cats and Dogs im pretty sure it was released globally, because at midnight when it came out it was not an option to download. but just try looking to download it at midnight and I think that should work now. 🙂

Same here, so frustrated, if its releasing midnight then it should be listed as 16th as unless you download it the millisecond it makes it the 16th. I hate stupid things like this.

On my end both the Sims website and my Origin pre-order say it will be released on the 15th. If that’s not accurate then something went wrong in updates.

Can relate, I woke up early this morning to download for after work, only to realise it’s basically 11pm-12pm for the UK. So unless I sacrifice my sleep to play I can’t play since I have work the next morning 🙁 maybe they will hear our cries and release early, at least for preorders, because it’s a ridiculous time to release since it’s a Thursday! Still excited though.

Hi charli, so basically what you do is you log out of origin. Download some vpn application like tunnelbear which gives you 500 mb free. Then you set it to Australia. Log back onto origin start the download and then click on ur normal WiFi. I did this for seasons 🙂 just thinking as I am in uk too

So I’ll be working at midnight when it releases on Friday but plan on asking my sibling to download the pre-order. Do they just have to open Origin and it begins the download automatically at 12, or do they enter the game?

I wonder why they thought to display it a day early on origin. I don’t know if it’s origin translating times/dates automatically has caused the misconception or if it’s changed to a day later, either way it’s a shame no gurus have acknowledged it

If you want your game early close/shut off Origin.
Go to hide.me and download the VPN, install, set it to Singapore and start it up.
Start Origin and start downloading the EP.
