Don’t preorder. That’s all I have to add.

EA has created such a terrible reputation for itself. I like The Sims, but I learned long ago not to get any add-ons until after it's been out for a while and people have made reviews about them. There are some packs, like the High School Years pack, where persistent, unsolved bugs make key elements of the pack unplayable. That pack came out three years ago and still hasn't been fixed, and I'm not getting it until/unless those issues become resolved... which they probably never will be.

They still try to shove ads in your face multiple times on start up (and embedded a fucking shopping cart symbol to a menu that's visible during game play... which fucking pulses until you click on it.) Hey EA, if you want my money so bad, how about you fix your shit to make it worth my money? No amount of obnoxious ads will convince me to buy something unplayable.

Best thing to do with an EA game: Wait ~3 months after full release. It almost always gets discounted, it’s likely been patched probably twice, the gameservers have been patched, and the download servers aren’t mobbed.

Now you can actually enjoy the game without, “OmG iT’s UnPlaYaBlE!!1”
