Can I run this game on my Mac?
The Sims: Legacy Edition doesn't run in macOS. If you have an Intel Mac, you can use Boot Camp to partition the drive and install Windows on one side. The game should work just as well as it does on a standard Windows PC. If you have an ARM Mac, you can try playing in Parallels, although as of this writing it's unclear whether the game works there at all. Whisky doesn't work with the EA App.
Can I redeem my product code from the original release and get this one for free?
Nope, sorry.
Is this a time-limited release?
No, there's no indication that this game or the bundle will be disappearing any time soon. The current price is also standard, not a temporary discount.
Do I need an EA Play subscription to run this game?
No, both the individual releases and the bundle are standalone and do not require a subscription.
Can I choose which Sims 4 kit(s) I get with my order?
No.
Where are my saves and other user data located?
C:\Users\[your username]\Saved Games\Electronic Arts\The Sims 25
The UserData* folders correspond to neighborhoods 1 through 8, and relevant data—sims, houses, photos, etc.—is in various subfolders.
Can I import my saves from the original version of The Sims?
Yes, replace the corresponding UserData folder above, and your save data will show up in the game.
Can I restart my progress?
Yes, rename or move the "The Sims 25" folder out of here:
C:\Users\[your username]\Saved Games\Electronic Arts
When you launch the game, it will create a new "The Sims 25" folder, and all of your previous progress will be gone. If you only want to remove some progress, restore the UserData subfolders from the neighborhoods you want to preserve, but only after you've allowed the game to generate a new folder.
