[INFO] The Sims on Free Game Time
This is now over
Hi Guys,
I just got back from a weekend trip so I'm not really up to date what is going on but I see that there are many threads on the Sims 4 Free Time issue.
What is Free Game Time ?
With free game time you can try the Sims 4 for 48 hours for free and then see if you like to buy it or not.
Where can I get it ?
You can download it here: https://www.origin.com/store/free-games/game-time.
When does the clock start ?
The clock starts when you started the game for the fist time.
I'm being asked for a product code but I don't have one
If you are asked for a product code, try clearing your Origin cache, start Origin as administrator and/or try logging out and back in. If that doesn't help, contact a game advisor (see below)
My game time is up before I even started
For now it seems that you need to contact a game advisor if it says your time is up just when you start out.
Game advisors can be found through live chat or callback.

Do I have to reinstall the game once I buy it ?
No, you should not have to do that. If you decide to buy the disc, simply redeem your code on Origin and you should be able to play. If you bought the Downloadable Version, enjoy the game.
I don't want to buy it right now. Can I save my user files/ save games and the Sims I made ?
I didn't try myself, but I'm going to assume that backups work like with the full game. Read up on it here: http://sims4.crinrict.com/en/2014/09/backups/
