Tip for any potential buyers. If you use Hola on chrome, set it to browsing from Mexico and go to the Origin store there. I was able to get the Deluxe version for $29 (or £18 for me), paid with PayPal and no hitches. Hope this helps!
brilliant! Thanks! I'll have to remember this next time I buy any other Origin game.
Girlfriend wanted to buy Sims 4 just now and I tried your tip because I remembered reading it when I read the article.
She also wanted the Outdoor retreat pack too.
After adding Sims 4 Digital Deluxe to the cart, seeing the option for Outdoor retreat and Get To Work (due out in April), we added those too.
Total paid: £47 via Paypal and Mexico Origin.
Total price on UK Origin: £85!!!
saving of £38 - that's just crazy.
The Get To Work expansion alone is £29.99 on the UK store. It was just $26.99 (£17.50) on the Mexico store.
Forgot to mention:
8.66gb download, 9.2gb when unpacked... that's some crappy compression!
I don't have fibre at my house, got a 4MB ADSL connection. My iPhone on Three's 4G, gets 15MB to 60MB.. I'm downloading using hotspot, currently going at 5mb/sec, 6 minutes left.
So frustrating that my mobile is faster than my home broadband!
