For the French Simmers out there, you have another option when ordering Showtime. Technically it’s a Limited version of the KP Collector’s Edition. What’s so special about it to be called a Limited Collector’s Edition? Sims 3 branded ear buds. ONLY available while supplies last via French retailer Carrefour.
