30% sale on Origin - still unsure whether to purchase 'Get Famous'

Update: The 'save30' coupon code also works at the Sims official site store online!

I tried it out a bit last night, and it was pretty fun. I was able to get my actor promoted a few times and he became a 1-star celebrity.

So far, I've seen people crowd around Thorne Bailey and Brittany Cho, but it hasn't been disruptive. Maybe if I play a bit more it'll show, but last night it wasn't a problem when my sims ate out and went to that lounge in Del Sol.

I also haven't played my regular saves yet so I don't know how it affects the game when you're not pursuing fame.

Oh, and I also have to mention that I turned fame off, so that only sims actively seeking the spotlight will get famous.

Also, this might be due to MCCC, but funnily enough, the first time my sim met Dustin Broke, he was a businessman. The next time I saw him, the "ask about career" option showed up again and he was unemployed.

I like the pack actually. Its fun! A lot of the features you do not want can be turned off so that is nice.

Careful when buying, I didn't get promoted to enter a promo code when buying a stuff pack for the the game. I assumed after it went to payment details it would come back to check out screen and allow you to enter the code. Nope.

And Customer service was no help. Said it was likely a glitch, but wouldn't give a credit, cancel order or offer anything in exchange other than a sorry and finally hung up on me when I didn't like the answer.

Example of how they deal with people now...they hang up....they do it on chat also:

NAME NOT SHOWN
It seems that I have already provided you the necessary information and to stop this chat being repetitive, I need to disconnect this chat right away.

If you have any other EA related issues then you may visit the EA forum Answer.ea.com and help.ea.com.

Thanks for contacting EA Help! Have a nice day!

You do have to click on "Enter Promo Code" and "Apply Code" before proceeding to "Pay now". Sorry that it turned out that way for you. And I do think it is lame that they won't give you a refund, since the sale is still ongoing.

I bought a bundle;
Get Famous
Dine Out
Patio

for only 35€

Keep trying, you're bound to get a decent customer service employee eventually. and also if you have trouble with customer service @EA_Mai is our go-to here for any help that way, at least that's how it was with Mage.

On Origin if you click the overhead link furtherest to the left on the top of the Origin store page - you'll see where to put the code for the discount.

Get Famous has become my favorite expansion after Seasons. I don't have a problem with celebrities stealing the spotlight or interrupting daily life.
