Code redeemed but game not showing in my EA library

Hello,

I bought a Sims 3 code from Instant Gaming and redeemed it on the EA App. The code was accepted, but the game didn’t appear in my library. When I try to enter the code again, it says “This code has already been redeemed.”

Instant Gaming told me they can’t help because the issue doesn’t seem related to the activation code itself. 

i don't know what to do, can anyone help?

  • * FIX *

    Within the EA App, on the top left corner, there are 3 lines to access the app menu, from there, click Help -> App Recovery -> Clear Cache.

    Then once you're signed back in, your DLC should be able to be installed from the Sims Add-on Menu.

    Hope this helps!

    I successfully redeemed two codes for The Sims 3 and The Sims 3: Showtime that I purchased from a third-party seller. I was prompted to install them, but they disappeared from my library. At first, I thought the problem was I redeemed Showtime without base game in my library, so I bought base game to see if it would appear, but both games are not in my library. I have already cleared my cache several times.

  • I'm having the exact same issue as well, but with the Showtime DLC. EA isn't even recognising that I own it, I redeemed the code and nothing happened, and when I go to the store page, it says purchase.

    Did you check your downloads in the EA app it should be there to download.

  • I redeemed a brand new code for the showtime DLC today, but instead of giving me the DLC, it sent me to the store page, and my code now says that it has been redeemed but I did not receive my DLC.
