Manual download from Sims 3 store?
Dear all,
sorry for bothering you guys with this, I guess every one else but me is running Sims 3 on the same computer they use to go online, and so they won't share my problem.
Point is, I bought Sims 3 via amazon - installed it on my home PC - went to work where my (only) internet connection is - registered online - tried to download Riverview - and failed, because Firefox couldn't get the download started without Sims 3 and its launcher being on the computer. Argh ...
Now, while it's okay at my job to download stuff via the office computers sometimes, there just is no way that I could install the whole Sims 3 there, just to be able to get my Riverview download. But there is no other option offered in the Sims 3 store, nothing like "alternative link via e-mail", "manual download address" or else. I tried contacting someone on the phone, but I can't seem to make it past the waiting list.
What can I do now? Why do they make it so hard to get this Riverview thing if they advertise it as something like a registration reward? If I had known beforehand that only the game itself can download from the store, I wouldn't have registered in the first place. I prefer to download an install myself, not let any game or program run around uncontrolled and stuff files where it thinks fit.
Does anybody have a clue how to handle this? A small extra "Sims Downloader" or something that can take up contact with the store site? I would be so grateful, this is sooooo frustrating ...
