I wouldn't get too exited if I were you. I went over to the Sims VIP and here is what I found:


"Today I went out and purchased the Hidden Springs retail box, and I was surprised that it actually came with a disc! Now you may think this means you have a hard copy, but don’t get too excited. To run my tests on the world, I deleted Origin, and all the store content from my game, to see what (if any) extras this disc included. Can you guess what it was?

The only piece of content included on the disc is….. Origin! Yes, good ‘ol Origin. It probably includes an update too, but I’m not taking the time to test that. Did you really think EA would finally give a disc that actually included content? Seriously EA, what was the point of the disc? "

There's more, but this is the gist of it. Here's the link: http://simsvip.com/

You'll have to scroll down to read the article. Sounds like another rip-off from EA.

I saw that post too...
Q: Why would they put a town on the disk anyway?

because they're money grubbing idiots?

That's the only reason *I* can think of.

Your mileage may vary.
