I was looking at the pre-order information - I'm a bit confused - so the European Sports car you get from the EA Store is a car for The Sims 3? If so, it's odd that they added that feature of driving now instead of waiting for an expansion pack for that.

Well that was the question i wanted to be answered my self.

My husband says he thinks that the car is a bonus for The Sims 3 - he doesn't think they would have a bonus item for The Sims 2 when pre-ordering for The Sims 3 since they don't know who all has The Sims 2. Makes since I guess - I told him I'm ordering for that European Sports Car - which you have to order through the EA Store. I don't know if they are offering that car through another store or not. Will have to keep my eyes open.

THATS where i am preordering my from too

Just found out the the car is in fact for The Sims 3. It's neat that they will be able to drive now instead of waiting for an expansion pack to drive.

Yea that is neat i think its two cars there is a vintage one too.

jaldeer

There are two cars - a blue vintage car and a orange European Sports car. I already got the blue vintage car from Best Buy. It was $5 for the collection thing. I'm still gonna order the complete collection from either Game Stop or EA. Both are offering the orange European Sports Car.

onika1987

what you mean its $5for it i thougth when you preorder it you get both cars can you explain am a little lost.

There are two pre-order cars. One is the blue vintage and the other is a orange European sports car. Best Buy has a The Sims 3 Complete Collection for $5 and you get the blue vintage car code with download instructions (the car is for The Sims 3 only), The Sims 3 stickers, and a poster. Gamestop and EA store offer the orange European Sports car, the stickers, poster, and a key chain when you pre-order The Sims 3 Complete Collection for almost $70. I'm still gonna order through one of the two stores. I hope that clears things up for you.

Ok thanks do you know if the code that you get can be shared like we do in for the sims 2 i hope so for i would liek to share with those who don't have the collectorsedition.

jaldeer

I hope we get to share the bonus objects like The Sims 2. I don't see why we can't - we'll have to wait and see after The Sims 3 comes out in Feb.

As long as there is a possibility of installing downloads manually by copying them into directories, it should be possible to share.

I myself will pre-order the Collector's Edition, but I am not sure yet where, only that it will have to be a German shop. I'll probably wait until late December or early January to see if something pops up.
