Hi,
Contacting support for this matter would not be useful, as we do not allow transferring a game from an account to another.
Thank you for your understanding.

Um...I have the same problem exept i dont have the discs(cant find them)Is there to transfer i have a product key
Hi,
My boyfriend and I share a desktop PC with The Sims 3 (installed from a disc) on it. In the recent past, I downloaded two expansion packs: Master Suite and Fast Lane. This was under my Origin account. A few days ago, my boyfriend found a promotion for two expansion packs (High end loft and Night Life) and downloaded them to the same computer under HIS Origin account, not realizing that the other two expansion packs were under mine. When he installed the two new expansion packs, a message popup stated that the original Sims 3 base game was not compatible as it was not downloaded through Origin. We fixed this problem by registering the disc on his account. However, the two expansion packs (as well as many individual items purchased with SimPoints) that I purchased BEFORE cannot be moved to his account. Will all of the expansion packs still work together when I play? If not, how can we transfer these purchases to a single account so that we can play with all of our expansions simultaneously?
This is not an issue of attempting to get two-for-one. We would be happy to have these games on a single account, as long as they are on the same account. How can this be done?

Why do you assume that people automatically understand? What you are doing is preventing us from retaining any value from a purchase in hopes of making people buy games many times rather than being able to share. i.e. I get over a game and buy the newest edition, would rather not waste the old one that I never play. I could give it to someone who WOULD play it, enjoy it, and possibly be convinced of buying the newest version as well. Now you could have a new customer based on a game that was going to be totally wasted. Instead, smart people can see your system as a capitalistic attempt to maximize profits at the expensive of customer service and appreitation. You have every right to make that choice as a business, and you will also try to market as always being PERFECT for customers, but in this specific case, your actions suggest capital over the interest of your consumer. I would like to understand why you think this is in the best interest of your company in the long run...
I just found this port, you are able to do it, I think they have a way to actually link the accounts now. But in this post it was done from the EA member http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/340021.page
you are so right, they dont make it clear at all that you cannot use pre-owned games anymore either, ive spent a whole day trying to sort out an issue that shoudlnt have been there in the first place. 2 years ago you didnt even need origin to dowloadf a game that comes already on a disc, to its just scamming good people out of money they dont really have in the first place. Ridiculous

I could not agree with you more. EA has not only found a way to stop piracy, which is good, but have found a way to maximise profits and sales at the expense of loyal customers. Our games are purchased by us, and we should be able to use them as we wish, not as Origin wishes.
Exactly. I have always been a loyal supporter of EA right back when I played my first EA game when it was released - 007 Nightfire. And that was a long time ago. Back when you BOUGHT a game - you got to keep the actual game, and not just the limited privilege to play it.
uh this was not supportive at all.

Can you elaborate? The answer is in the thread, it is not possible to move a game between Origin accounts, end of story.
Maybe if you have the product code and go here:

You can. Just a thought.
