Is there any ways to return the gift?
Oh, I see, how deceiving.
Thank you.
Not really. They specifically say so when buying it. Heck, you can't buy it if you don't have the base game. The person who bought it for you will have seen this, they should have mentioned it.
Because when you're on the store page it will say
It's very clear on the store page
The store pages for the DLC all say "Requires the base game The Sims™ 3 on Steam in order to play." There's nothing ambiguous about it.
Please read what it says on the page
Requires the base game The Sim3
ON STEAM
in order to play
In a giant purple box above the "Add To Cart"
Other than beating you with a club it does a good job of warning you.
And to address the magical #11 post
Some retail games can be activated on steam. But again these are only a few and generally are outlined quite clearly on the boxes that the game 'requires' steam like Civ5, DeusEx, Hitman Absolution, etc.
Note some games at retail are on steam but cannot be activated on steam. Like the recent Assassin's Creed 3 for example. So if you buy AC3 at your local store and then try to activate it on Steam it will fail.
The fact that you can activate some games on steam isn't an indication you can do it for all games.
I'm unclear why you're so smug, since... the store page makes it clear you need to have the Sims3 ON STEAM. And I clearly both indicated the relevant section on the store page, where that was located, and linked to an example on the store for reference. And I even outlined the relevant section since you seemed to ignore it despite me pointing it out in excruciating detail. TWICE
