It's listed as "The Sims 3" so scroll down to the T's.

Also........................

EA announced that there will be no DRM protection for the Sims 3 game. YEA!

For those of you who don't know DRM means digital rights management and is anti-piracy technology. It is used by digital copyright owners to control who gets to access and copy their work. Basically you don't completely own your purchase, there are limitations.

There was a big outrage when Spores came out with DRM (EA released that), people were flocking to Amazon leaving negative feedback concerning the DRM.

So I guess EA finally listened ^_^

The Sims 3 Copy Protection
March 26, 2009 06:10 AM

Hello everyone I wanted to share news with you regarding our copy protection plans for The Sims 3.

We’ll have more information for you as we get closer to launch about everything we’ll have to offer on TheSims3.com and The Sims 3 Store, but we have heard your requests over the past months and here is our plan for The Sims 3.

The game will have disc-based copy protection – there is a Serial Code just like The Sims 2. To play the game there will not be any online authentication needed.

We feel like this is a good, time-proven solution that makes it easy for you to play the game without DRM methods that feel overly invasive or leave you concerned about authorization server access in the distant future.

We’re really excited to bring you the game for the PC and Mac starting June 2, 2009. The extra time we’ve taken to polish the game has resulted in an even better game experience for you to enjoy and we can’t wait for you to see for yourself!

Thanks for your passion and your loyalty.
