I am so sad

I'm about to start crying right now. I am trying to reinstall Sims 3 on my new laptop, and all the expansions I own are registered to my dmel25 account on Origin EXCEPT Sims 3 Late Night, I don't know why it isn't, but I have my physical copy of the game.

Well, my laptop doesn't have a CD drive for me to install Late Night so now I can't install it. I have contacted EA and they keep telling me I need to verify the account and email that used my old code, but I can't because I don't remember what that was, I was given Late Night as a Christmas gift 11 years ago and just remember installing it on my computer. So EA keeps telling me there is nothing they can do about getting me my game code back and now I can't play my favorite Sims 3 expansion.

I don't want to have to buy it again when I own it already and I am about to start crying honestly.

  • The code is sent directly to the recipient. Gifter and recipient have to be friends and also in the same country.
  • @dmel15 I bought this external DVD drive when I got my new laptop. It's not terribly expensive, and for me it was a necessity since most of the software I want to keep is on disks. It costs the same as the LN EP, but you could use it for more than just LN.
  • I used Ashampoo tu turn all my DVDs and CDs into ISO files. To protect my CDs from getting scratched.

    Works for games too, is a private personal copy so its legal and works on laptops without DVD players, and there is a free Ashampoo license and a paid Pro one.
