Eco Living out yet for the US? Update from EAHelp on Twitter if anyone else is wondering too.

People are already playing it and posting screenshots of their builds on social media but my Origin launcher just says 'unlocked' and ready to be dl'ed on the 4th which is today. It is 6pm here for me. I thought these packs were usually released late morning early afternoon? That's been my past experience. Appreciate any help, thanks.

Update: EAHelp finally got back with me, they have their hands full with one of their other games it seems. So, it is NOT midnight like people are saying, it will be 11pm. Phew. I'm leaving this up though just in case someone else comes here looking for this information. https://imgur.com/95v4zBZ

Game packs/stuff packs are released at 9 am PST on the release date. However, expansion packs are midnight EST on the release date. So 3 more hours since the release date is officially June 5th.

It really should state the 5th on Origin then because I've worried something was wrong with my account. A couple of weeks ago I got a notice on my launcher that i'd have to play in offline mode because the account was already in use. Scared the crap out of me lol so did the whole change info. then this. I just want to really know if it's just me or what is going on. Especially since I see that people are already playing the pack.

The people playing are from other countries or they used a VPN. I've played The Sims 4 since launch. It has not released yet. If you don't believe me, go google the official release date or look for a countdown. The very first reveal trailer lists June 5 as the release date.

Oh i'm not saying I don't believe you, this is not meant to be a debate :p. Like I said, I was just worried. I've also played since launch and midnight tonight is the 5th, the past midnight would have been the 4th which is why I was confused. Then, of course, add to the fact that twitter had posts of people playing it. I did try to do my research before commenting here as I usually don't come to the forums very often. But ok those playing are in a much bigger time zone gap.

I usually use a VPN to play packs early but this pack doesn't interest me enough, I can wait lol.

I get it. No worries, sorry if I came off as rude at all. It wasn't my intention. Yeah, I was confused when I checked the forums until I realized they were people from other countries. I use a VPN for work but aren't smart enough to figure it out for other use.
