Did The Sims 3 Store Give Away Barnacle Bay For Free?

Here you go: http://store.thesims3.com/barnacleBay.html?categoryId=12642&section=UpSell

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

When I started playing again at the end of last August, I came across Barnacle Bay: http://store.thesims3.com/barnacleBay.html?categoryId=12642&section=UpSell and it was a free download. I just assumed at the time that I had bought it previously and due to changing computers, I had lost it somehow. It still doesn't show up on My Page as being owned, though.

ETA: @igazor, that's probably it. One of my games was a Limited Edition; remember getting a thumb drive with a green Plumbob attached. It was before Origin, around 2009/10.

I remember that promotion...

Back when I was trying to keep my collection all on disk I had planned on going to Gamestop for the release of Seasons at midnight like I had done before. I was sad about passing up the promotion but I wanted the physical copy more. For whatever reason I came home empty handed. Very impatient so I bought it digitally via Origin when I got home and by this time the pre order was over. Missed my chance for a free world. Went full digital after that and I paid for Barnacle Bay sadly.

Pardon my ignorance,but I click on "redeem code" and all it asks me to do is put the code in. How do I download it for free? (sorry for asking a dumb question!)

Do you have to have Origin to download BB for free? If so, I pass, but if not (my game and all eps are disc-based, and I refuse to update to the patch that ties the game to Origin), it could be fun. Thanks!

So you live in the US and you get thinsg for free?

Not fair.

I downloaded it from thesims3.com store

If you go to thesims3.com store, click on worlds, then Barnacle Bay. It still says download from what I see. I don't know if it will be the same on yours.

Guess it's not free for everyone. Only option i have is to buy it, and for some reason it doesn't say "Barnacle Bay", it says "Complete Barnacle Bay Adventure".

Same for me. I guess it's not free for me. :neutral:
