Has anyone bought anything from this site?
Wanting to add a couple S3 packs and saw this https://www.instant-gaming.com/en/219-buy-key-the-sims-3-island-paradise/?currency=USD&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIs7DAuab22QIVBLjACh0pjgZwEAoYASABEgLCDPD_BwE ...

Afraid I have some different advice to offer. Over the past couple of years now, EA has begun mass deactivations of Origin codes purchased from unauthorized resellers for which EA was never paid or a chargeback scheme was used by the original bulk purchaser which means essentially the same thing. Not just for TS3, but hundreds if not thousands of players have been affected, there were dozens of threads here many of which have since been combined by the moderators and tons of them still active and being started on the Answers.HQ board.
The players don't really know what's happening when their game or EP/SPs get deactivated, they just suddenly stop showing up in Origin and not because of the typical instability of the platform. Investigations with customer service, which is not the same department as loss prevention, can take weeks or longer to reach resolution, and often enough the answer is sorry, you do not own the rights to run that pack. Then it becomes a struggle for them to get their accounts unlocked so they can repurchase through Origin or an authorized reseller.

I understand the desire/need to save money, but there is definitely a risk involved.
