User blog:K6ka/The Sims Wiki News - 17th January 2016



Another Sunday means another news update! Without further ado, here's what's been happening lately...

Origin users of The Sims 3 have a small update to fix a popup issue waiting for them. If automatic updates are disabled, click on the game in your library to update. After updating, your game version should be 1.69.43.024.
 * Small update for The Sims 3

EA has launched "Origin Access", a subscription service that offers you "Endless PC gaming" for just $4.99 a month. It's like "EA Access" for Xbox, except that this one's exclusive for PC.
 * "Origin Access" now available for (surprise!) Origin users!

You'll be able to play EA games before they're officially released, and 10% is slashed off the price tag on all your Origin purchases. In addition, it ships with "The Vault", a collection of 15 games to help you enjoy your new subscription service. The Sims 3 Starter Pack is included in this bounty.

You can also cancel at any time, so if you decide not to fork over that five bucks a month, the decision is entirely up to you.

Well that was fast! Clearly EA had been quietly working on this pack behind our backs for a while now.
 * The Sims 4& released!
