thanks origin, just had to pay £399 for a month, now I am short to buy my pack :s :s :s :s :s :s :s :s :s :s :s :s :s :s :s :s :s :s :s :s :s :s :s


No I have to pay another £14 before I can buy the pack, man feel like i just got mugged


£20 wasted and now i don't even have the pack

You must have clicked the wrong button. Origin access is totally optional. I just purchased a Spooky Stuff code as a gift and it asked if I wanted to join Origin access.

nevermind

I okay so it did let me download my game after I paid the money for premier for one month, but it sounded like when that month runs out , I won't be able to play the pack until i upgrade it again.

is this the case?

please

thanks in advance

The Origin Access membership fee is charged as a recurring, monthly payment.

For this monthly fee you get access to all available games to play.


You do not own the games. More like rent to play.

Some games you can only play for a limited time before they are released to the general public. This is called first play.

You don't have to join Origin Access to play anything on Origin. As @chazzzy said, you should probably contact Origin support and have them refund you the money and help you purchase the game without joining the service.

Was there not a "no" button of some sort when they asked if you wanted to join? It shouldn't have been difficult to get past that without joining.

thanks for the comment, I do appreciate it
this was the only option. when I clicked on get the game, it asked me to upgrade my account from basic to premier for the game pack
I don't understand this upgrade, I own all my other sims games. I just wanted to buy a game pack, not rent one.

do you know where I can contact them for live chat please

thank you

Then there was either something you missed or something went wrong, because you shouldn't need to join the program to buy anything. I never have and I've bought all my sims games from Origin.
