The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle Expansion Pack is just a few days away until being released for both PC and Xbox One / PS4!
The game has been set to release on June 5th for all platforms worldwide. However, unlike with Game Packs and Stuff Packs, Expansion Packs have a “staggered” release schedule, meaning that the game has 5 different release schedules for different territories – and Eco Lifestyle will be no exception.
Each zone will have the pack released at midnight (or close to midnight). Since these staggered releases can get a little confusing I’ve included a full countdown timer for all 5 different territories down below! When the counter turns to zero in your territory you’ll be able to purchase (or unlock if you’ve already pre-ordered) the game, download and play it!
I’ll also be doing a special 10-hour Launch Party Livestream on Twitch to celebrate the release of The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle in Europe and North America down below! You can also CLICK HERE to join the Twitch Chat!

So is like Australia not getting it today? It’s 12:22 here and I still can’t purchase the game?
Can’t make a bundle 🙁 Do we know when this is fixed???
Wait. It says it comes out June 5th in the US but the timer says it’s out in 36 minutes? It’s the 4th.
10past 6am and still no eco for ps4? A joke.
You treat console lienits doesnt count anyway…now we certainly know it.
Like it doesnt count anyway*
My xbox store says available from 6pm for the UK on the 5th of June if that helps anyone.
Any one know the time this comes out on PS4? Still isn’t available on the store and its 8:30 am.
I play on console and have checked this morning and there is no eco lifestyle available for download. Is the console download later in the day?
Instill havent received it I’m on console and pre-ordered it.. so annoyed
Sims 4 I’m honestly getting tired like. Your soon gonna make me stop playing. I only have 1 day off and you screw it up.
Why did they lie, I stayed up until after midnight and still couldn’t retrieve the download. Says available June 5th 1pm. So what was all the countdown to midnight hype for?
Would have been nice to know all this. I didn’t even see a mention on their twitter. Could have changed the countdown time or something.
All well and good but what about Bst for the UK?
11pm on the dot
im in the uk and my pre order for eco living says 4th june but did not say a time. I think it will be 11pm like the others
It says midnight June 5 for your download time.
I don’t understand why I should preorder anymore. I don’t get the pack early and I get nothing extra by doing so. It’s not like you’re going to run out of copies or anything like that. What’s stopping me or anyone from just waiting until it actually is released or just wait until it goes on sale? Please someone explain the benefits of preordering! I honestly want to know. Thanks
It’s useful for if you have money when the pre-order is available but won’t get paid in time for the actual release, if that makes sense?
It’s a one-time payment. You have to have the money in your account when you pre-order the pack for the payment to go through. If you don’t have the money when you pre-order, you will not be able to purchase it. :/ Hope this helps in some way
That doesn’t make sense. You either have $50 to spend on it or you don’t. If I have $50 two weeks ago, I can either spend it then or wait 2 weeks and spend it. I guess if you’re really bad with money and can’t resist spending what’s in your account it would be a benefit.
It just means that you skip going through buying it and it downloads instantly. Also, if you don’t trust yourself not to spend the money before it releases, you can purchase it instantly. I suppose it’s also more for EA’s benefit. People preorder while it’s new and exciting without leaving time to go off it. And it provides insight into interest for the pack.
Hello! Well preorder isn’t too special, but when the pack is released all you have to do is open your game and let the pack download. Also, if you can’t play on release date or whatever, if you preorder all you have to do is open whenever you can. Or if you can’t pay during release day it’s helpful too. Hope this helps
I’m in the uk. Its June 5th 2.45am and eco living still isn’t available to purchase on PS4. I’ve scoured the Internet and can’t find any new info on when it’ll be available. It’s very frustrating!
I still haven’t had any luck in purchasing it :(( UK 2:55pm now
I’m in Canada and having the same issue, it’s 7:35 a.m. where I am and there is nothing on the PS store.
I’m in the US and having the same problem! I went onto GameStop and it says a release date of 6-23-20!
It’s 7:52 am in Cleveland Ohio , still not available
Same issue now at 7.29am, it was supposed to release at 5am (midnight EST)
Same iv been waiting so ping I got up at midnight June 5th and the countdown said 5 hours so I went to bed I got up after 5 hours and it still hasn’t been released
I’m in Aus and it’s just past 2 pm with the same issue, no Eco Living on PS4.
Whats going on Sony?
On playstation it dose not come out for like another 19 hours and there is no information about the playstation eco lifestyle release Im not happy. They should have told us something.
Same in Poland… It is not available in the store. Pretty lame in my opiniom.
11 to 11:30 pm
I preordered mine Saturday and it said 5th June 6pm
Mine saying the same
Same as Europe, always. So 11 pm.
* 11 pm on the 4th June (= midnight 5th Europe), in case that wasn’t clear 😀
They screwed us PS4 users lol and my sims husband just froze to death because I’m was digging for information . It’s a sad day at my house
I’m in the uk. Its June 5th 2.45am and eco living still isn’t available to purchase on PS4. I’ve scoured the Internet and can’t find any new info on when it’ll be available. It’s very frustrating!
I’m in Canada playing on ps4. Its June 5th 1:56am still not available to purchase or play.
Almost 10am UK time and it’s still not here. Really frustrating 🙁 Anyone know when it’s meant to arrive? I booked the day off work to play!!!
If anyone in the UK still hasn’t got it going, refresh your orgin or console and type in Eco Lifestyle and it should come up to buy and download! I’ve just done it and there it was ready and waiting. Happy simming!
Half 11 in the UK and still nothing. The free update on 2nd of June came around 6pm…maybe this might be the same deal? The pack still says to pre-order…
It 7:20 still no information for us who play ps4. So frustrated.
well we’re part of europe…
We’re in Europe! BST time is 1 hour behind Paris, so midnight in Paris is 11pm here. It’s out now anyway so enjoy x
It’s 1:28 on the east coast. My game updated and it’s available in the store but I still can’t play. This is ridiculous. We pay too much money to keep up with these stupid packs to be dealing with this! I wish I could just get my money back at this point. They can keep the damn pack.
It’s up on ps4 to buy £32.99
Has EA even released a statement to say what the problem is? I cant seem to find anything that would solve this problem
They use to have Benifits to preordering the games but I guess they don’t with this pack
I’m in Australia, and it says in my Origin client that I can buy/download Eco now, but I want to buy it as part of a bundle pack, and it doesn’t show up as an option when I go to do that (it’s not greyed out or anything, it’s literally just not in the list of Expansion Pack options). Is there a lockout period for adding it to a bundle or something?
For anyone wondering the download size for Eco Lifestyle. ITS 1.39GB if you have the game fully updated. I know I cant be the only one out here using hot stop for my internet and would like to know before downloading.
Is anyone else having a problem with bundling the pack? I have all of the eps except this one and at least 1 left of the gps and sps, so I know that I can bundle. Is it a thing with timezones? Because I can get it by itself but not as a bundle.
