How can I buy an expansion pack for the Sims4, but hide it from my kids?

So with the sale this week, I want to buy a couple of the expansion packs for the Sims4, and give them to my kids for Christmas.  However, I don't want them to know that I have bought them obviously....

Hi @TheHeathen17,

Sorry, but that is not possible to do.

Expansion packs are sold in other retailers, you could buy them somewhere else and give them to your kids for Christmas. 🙂

    Ugghh, physical media?

    Thanks Mai for your quick reply.  That is no good though, as most of these items don't seem to be on sale elsewhere.


    Any idea if I create a new account, and buy the titles as a gift for my main account, would I then be able to activate them at Christmas time?

    Thanks!

      Hi @TheHeathen17,

      Which packs are you planning on buying? There are some physical bundles like this one. If you tell me which games were you thinking of buying maybe I can help.

      Sadly, gifts are sent immediately, so that wouldn't be an option either. ☹️

      @TheHeathen17 Buy the physical media and that comes with a card with a code which you can redeem on Origin and get the download version.
