@simgirl1010 you're awesome! Thank you so much for the links!

@simgirl1010 is the best. Reading the preorder information raised a new question, will this pack preload?

If something can be pre-loaded, it tells you when.

Usually, only the base games can be pre-loaded, while DLC can be downloaded only after it releases.

@LolaLuvsSims I agree! And yes, I'd like to know that too? Like if I preorder it, then once the EP is "live", on the 16th, will it automatically be installed for my game or do I need to do something to install it into my game, myself?

In my experience, you do need to restart Origin/EA App, but it should begin automatically. Just check when the game releases and have it be downloaded if it doesn't automatically. The store page will also have the exact time when it releases (for me, it's Mar 16, 2023, 7:00 PM).
