I ask because I was looking at worlds the other day, and normally when you have not purchased something, it will tell you how much sim points it will cost, but for BB, it only said download. Is it for free now like Riverview?
They gave it away to a select group. I'm not sure who it was. I think you had to live in the US.
Then suddenly, some months later, it was available for download.
I'm not sure of the detail. I had already purchased BB when it was first released. But they upgraded it and added extra objects that I previously couldn't get. Then when it suddenly became available for download I just downloaded it and got a couple of new stairs. - ZeeGee1Seasoned HotshotI just got BB for free! Yaaaay
- @Karritz, I wondered about that! A few months ago when I started playing again, I noticed that Barnacle Bay had the blue D/L button. Assuming I bought it back in the day, I d/l it but it has never shown up on MY Page as being owned. No big deal, but strange all the same.
Guess I shouldn't look a 'gift horse in the mouth'. :* - Maybe some special offert in the past, I am not totally sure about to remember it, but don't worry, if you get enough simpoints by the sponsorpay you will can buy it withouth spending real money.
- Lucky the ones who got it for free! I paid for it and never use it.
- There was a promotion years ago though which those who advance ordered the Limited Edition of one of the EPs (Pets, Seasons, not sure now) were supposed to get BB for free. No one who qualified actually got it. Then EA apparently corrected their mistake a year or two later and even those of us who never qualified got it. Those who are just getting it now, perhaps you had it available to download all along and are only just noticing it? I'm sure it sat there waiting for me to see the Download button for ages before I realized I had it as well back then, even though I was one of the non-qualifiers.
- Is it still up for free download? If so, could someone link it to me, as I can't seem to find it?
- mrcsdasilvaNew TravelerI'm not in the U.S. and I got BB for free too.
- Jessa_DakkarSeasoned NewcomerWow! That is awesome! I got it on release but this is great for everyone who hadn't yet gotten it. It's a small world but I really like it. :)

Thanks for the refresher, @igazor - couldn't remember the wheres and whyfors of getting it free - just remember that I did. :smile:
