Can confirm it does work, even with the Spanish writing on the screen. Just use google translate to filter through the rest of the cart.
Probably! But I fixed it and now im pulling a ton of Sims off the community. The celebs are perfect. >.<
So, my one sim got up from the table and walked over to his wife and started eating pancakes while talking to her... as she's on the treadmill.
Cold-blooded.

You have to use Korean Internet for playing the game early
The Sims 4 can run on almost anything. If the game doesnt run and you purchase through Origin than you can get a refund within 24 hours. I would venture to say if your girlfriend can play sims 3 she can play sims 4 and it will be a much smoother experience. The game has a laptop mode that I think lets potatoes run it.
Man being able to directly choose your townie population is very nice alongside the more lively community lots.

Yep I was just looking at a blank screen for 4 hours yesterday. It was totally fun.

After browsing a couple of forums, fans of Sims 3 really hate this game. Even without playing it, they have this zeal or bias or something about everything this game represents.
best you can do is get it since you get a refund in 24 hours if she doesn't like it, return it. Win win?

I fucking hate it. I have a ton of Sims 3 things and I was basically hoping for a optimized and graphically upgraded Sims 3. This shit feels like Sims Mobile, it's barebones. Building a house fucking sucks but I've only spent 30 mins so I'll give it another shot I guess.
That's not fair at all. It is VERY different game that Sims 3 and if you do have EVERY expansion to Sims 3 then there is no way Sims 4 will measure up.
I don't know about the zeal or bias of those that love Sims 3 but I do know that the honeymoon period of a game is very real and those that have had fun for 10 or so hours are saying it's the best thing ever. I think it is fair to be cautious when EA is concerned and wait a bit for this honeymoon period to end.
That said if his wife loves Sims and buys everything Sims then she probably will have fun with a new one.

I guess they don't see it that way. Game with every expansion vs just game is the comparison I see everywhere. Since there are no "reviews" yet I went ahead and browsed reddit and a couple of forums and the hatred this game gets from Sims 3 fans is not something I conjured.
eh, I feel like what he said is dead on. Sims 3 fans are really down on it. If his gf mostly likes the design aspect, this game will be a step back big time.
Sims 2 fans (like myself) seem to think this game is good but not great. I've been pretty addicted to it, but nothing has wowed me. And I'd feel weird to recommend it outright. At the same time, I can't stop playing. So, I don't know. It's really conflicting to me.
As said, there is the 24 hour refund available through Origin. The good designing points in Sims 4 are designing sims in CAS which is way better than 3, and build mode is much better. That said, furnishing a house is not as elaborate as Sims 3 (more like Sims 2) and Create a Style is gone.
Yeah, I'm certainly not basing it off all the expansions, I'm talking Sims 3 base vs Sims 4 base. Creating the Sim and just the speed of things is super quick and awesome. My PC is pretty good, GTX680/16GB RAM, and I got a ton of load times and unnecessary lag on the base, add expansions and it's way worse. All that's gone with Sims 4.
Making a house, or trying to, was all I did before going to work and I hated it thoroughly. I'm playing with mouse and keyboard but the game feels like it was meant for a iPad.

Yeah the last two things " furnishing a house and Create a Style" are her two favorite things to do. She'll likely wait it out and see what they add later down the road, she's still perfectly happy with 3.

Caved in and bought it through Mexico. I don't expect a deal like that to happen later on, so I had to go for it.
The gallery already has a lot of options and you can select price range, its pretty nice being able to download directly in game.

Yep, turn off Hola right before you transmit your login credentials. The game will be in your cart at the Mexican price and you can continue to check out normally. This trick works for every EA game btw, in case anyone was looking to get or pre-order something else from their portfolio.
I have a question for the folks who are enjoying it now. Do you reckon it has lasting power and is something you'll play for a while?

my 2 sims died of old age. made another sim, but i already feel bored..
the fun part is the new create-a-sim (amazing) and new build tools.
i'm dissappointed really.. sims 3 was a major step in the right direction for a life simulation imo, this is going backwards in gameplay, but forwards in terms of creating sims and houses.

Yeah that's not working for me, When it goes back to the US, there's nothing in the cart.
Worked like a charm. Thanks!
Picked up the game tonight and put a couple hours in.
Dang, I can't get over how well this thing runs. I mean, I get that the games get bogged down when lots of DLC is added, but man, this game loads super-fast and runs smooth as butter in game. I've played 1 thru 3 and this is easily the most optimized I've ever seen the series.
Loving the streamlined menu too. The whole presentation is zippy and clean as heck. I've done a bit of poking around looking for some stuff here and there, but once you find what you're looking for, you realize how intelligently streamlined the UI is. Graphics and character animations look aces too. I'm digging the more cartoon look of the character models vs. Sims 3. With the exaggerated gestures natural to the series, the cartoonish characters feel like a better fit.
The goals & inspiration thought bubbles that pop up over your character portrait in the bottom-left of the screen give good feedback on what you could and should be doing with your Sim to keep them happy. It helps the game feel a bit more directed, a slight issue I've always had with the franchise.
I know the list of default omissions in Sims 4 has been of great concern to many, but man I'm having too much fun* to even notice at this point. For what's here, there seems to be a awesome amount of smart design decisions and polish on offer.
Thumbs up so far.
* Full disclosure, never cared about Create a Style design modes in these games.

I've always preferred the social element to anything else in The Sims franchise, and while I heard it's vastly improved in TS4 I still will not buy it simply because of all the things EA omitted. As I've stated before, I really wanted The Sims 4 to be a mix of the best of Sims 3 and the best of Sims 2 & more. Instead, it completely cuts out all of the major additions Sims 3 added to the franchise (seriously, no one asked for the open world to be removed) and includes LESS (not more) than the previous installments.

I swear, gaming is the way to go to get money.
I make like 6k a day after maxing out gaming lol. And only took 1 hour to get there in a shack-like home.

I just spent 3 hours making my sim and putting up the walls to my house. I think I'm going to get my money's worth.
My bizarre floor plan. I was going to go with a plain old square house but decided to go a little nuts.
