Thanks for the reply... I don't know I logged out of the EA app and back in and boom there was my sims 3 with all my add ons. So I guess sometimes that's all you have to do. lol However, no I did not have the old laptop anymore so I would've been out of luck.
@kevinn95 Is it possible that you originally installed the base game via disc? If so, you would have needed a serial code during the process, but Origin may not have required you to register it. Installing packs via Origin would have removed the need for a disc altogether.
Do you still have access to the old computer where you first installed the game? If so, you can try to find the code there:

Otherwise, without a code and without the EA App recognizing that you own the base game, there's not much you can do here.
If it's any consolation, the Sims 3 Starter Pack (base game, Late Night, High-End Loft Stuff) is often on sale for 60% off, so $8 U.S. rather than $20. It will probably go on sale during Black Friday week and over the winter holidays.
