Calling Malaysian Sims3 Gamers

>> Tuesday, March 16, 2010

I am a woman on a mission! As a hardcore Sim-a-natic, wait, that was redundant, wasn't it? Oh well, thus, it proves my point TWICE. I repeat, being what I am, but of course I promote playing only the original (you know Malaysians, hmmm) and to download only the best content for your Sims.

My usual download resource is TheSimsResource. I have been a member since my The Sims (1) days. I also recommend getting the premium account, if you can afford it. Even if you don't, 3% of the content is rotated for free download so check often for an item you simply have to have, mmmkay?

I have never really paid much attention to the Sims Store. I thought, whatever, I can get my custom content anywhere else on the internet. However, after numerous computer crashes later, I am becoming more prudent in my choice of custom content installation. And what better way than to get my downloads from EA themselves, right?

Upon registering The Sims 3 on their website, I am given 1000 points to redeem and pointed to in the direction of the Sims Store. Oh. My. God. I am in love with over half of the content there. The ones that I gotta-gotta-gotta have is the Animals Abound Set. Note: It's already on my wish list, in case someone is generous enough *WINK*WINK*

There is only 1 downside. My points are insufficient to purchase most of the items I want, and get this, there is no way for me to purchase more! Apparently, Malaysia is not listed as a supported country. I have gone as far as contacting their e-mail support, leaving a message on their actual Facebook page and their Twitter account, but alas! I am but one person. A small, insignificant player in a country that is less important than the other 26 countries currently supported, in several languages in certain countries too.

I am not going to take this lying down! I demand my rights to waste my hard earned money on make-believe objects for the gratification of my gibberish Simlish speaking, simulated humanoids!


Who's with me?


Author's Note: I'm serious, folks. I am making a banner for people to place on their blogs/websites as we speak. I am also going to create a Fan page on FB, and Twitter my way to success. Will update on progress soon.

I remember, Sheri. I've added you as a friend on the site ^__^

No, it isn't possible *SIGH*

I've tried to use Paypal, Credit card, buying one of the cash cards online but I still can't buy it coz I'm from outside of the US. It's so sad coz I really want some of the sets *SOB*
