This shouldn't be happening, players register the Steam given codes on the TS3 site for use in Origin all the time. In fact, you should have received 1,000 Store Points for the "new" base game registration and again for WA if you had repurchased and reregistered that one (guess WA wasn't part of this purchase though).
Sounds to me like what may have happened is that the new base game registration triggered a patch update on you. Even though you were already on 1.69.something, the Origin silently delivered patch may have been reapplied. Patching, no matter how it's done, can disturb or damage the TS3 user game folder in Documents.
You can't really control "which" game registration Origin uses. What I think you should do from here is keep the new, working game folder and slowly begin copying your content from the older one -- so that's store and custom content (DCCache), mods and package based content, saved sims, installed worlds, until you have enough in place for the saved games to copied over. If your EA Store purchased content in particular no longer works, you many need to redownload it and reinstall it all, a bit at a time, using the Launcher but that would be unusual.
