To be honest, I think they should either just stop with the simpoints on their page (and either have it for free or by using paypal) because the way it is now, I have waited months and months to buy something, probably close to over a year. (I think last time I bought simpoints was at the end of 2015.) I couldn't even log in to their webpage for about maybe 8 months. (I lost track of time), it would just give me wrong username/password - which i KNOW was correct. (and I was logged in in the game and on origin)
I mean, I always want to buy things rather than pirating, but EA is making it very hard with their TS3 Store, especially considering how old it is. It's like they abandoned it ...
dusty_boots: that doesn't help me, sadly. When I click "buy simpoints" in the TS3 store, it directs me to an Origin site ending with gameType:currency. And there is a side bar on the left that doesn't work, and the page is completely white.
edit: also I want to add that, I know previously, I had to use IE to open the launcher through the web page and such, because FF or Chrome didn't work as well with the page. So I've checked if I need to use IE for the simpoints etc, but IE won't even open the webpage! I just get a 500 internal error webpage.
