    @Creeper545548  There has been no announcement about the Store site at all, and no indication it's closing or changing in any way.  The closure is for forums.thesims.com , as in, the Sims forum where people chat about their games.  Here's EA_Cade's post about that:

    If and when the Store site is taken down, we should have at least some warning and thus the ability to download our already-owned content.  And given that EA is still selling SimPoints and Store worlds, it seems unlikely that the Store would be closed anytime soon—it would be unfair to sell content that immediately stopped working.

      @Creeper545548  I think a lot of people misread at least some part of it, especially if you look at the comments in the thread I linked.  I'm just glad that we're getting a reasonable amount of information in the first place, and with some advance warning too.
