@DivinylsFan - I host the
Daily Deal thread and was checking a link I had to purchase Simpoints from Origin. I don't need to purchase simpoints but did want to provide a link for others.
I have come across the same problem as you. Every link on the Sims 3 site goes to the EA website. Entering origin . com in my browser also redirects to EA new site. I can find Sims 3 on that site but no where to purchase simpoints. (There is also no obvious search function on the EA site.) I still have the Origin app on my computer which still offers simpoints for sale. Since I do not want to purchase points, I didn't allow the transaction to complete. However, I did get to a screen to enter my method of payment. If you no longer have Origin on your computer,
EA_Cade provides a link to download OriginThinSetup. I am not sure if that would work but I am curious if simpoints can be purchased with Origin Thin.
Edit to Add: I found that "Sims 3 Currency" can be purchased through the new EA App which you had said that you did. I found
the answer in a thread on the EA forum . @puzzlezaddict posted the solution
Open the EA App, click My Collection, then Sims 3, then DLC, and "Sims 3 Currency" should be the first listing. This is the same as SimPoints.
