I don't have this stuff pack. It is the only one I'm missing, and it hurts. What am I to do? :-\

The only thing I can think of is to see if you can find it used? Or maybe some where like Amazon? Be careful though EA has been cracking down on used game codes. They lock it to where you can't use it. So if you're lucky to find a copy, hopefully it's new or used, but not registered. -- Already registered game codes may not be able to be used to install the game.
I've read conflicting issues with the game codes.
-- You can still install and play the game, it's just you can't register the code with EA/Origin and therefore can't use it with store stuff and whatnot.
-- You can't install and play because the game code has been locked by EA/Origin.

Yeah. I read over at Answers HQ that some who own it can't play it anymore. What a truly dumb idea of EA to sign only a temporary contract with Katy Perry :-\
-
Oh wow that bites. We bought it when it first came out and have it installed. It still plays fine. But my install is via disc, so that might make a difference?
-
It might. Gah, it is so unfair, lol ;D
-
I just tried a quick search to see if I could find any for sale and they are some, but it seems most don't come with a game code. Without the game code, the cd maybe useless. :(
-
Also, my computer doesn't have a disk drive :-\
Hmm.
-
Oooh that could be a slight problem. lol However, if you do have software on cd/dvd you might be able to get an external dvd drive to help install it.
-
A "slight" problem? I think that's an understatement. But hubby could install a dvd drive, I s'pose. But I don't think I could get it to work with my current installation of the game. I'll you know if I figure something out. It's not the first time I've been mif about missing this pack, lol.

I have an external dvd drive that I just plug into my laptop with a USB.
