I can't download from the exchange, and I can't download CAW.

... However, it let me download Riverview and a free valentines day set with no problem. 😕mileyfrustrated:

Info:

-This has been a problem for a while, it's not a short term thing.

-My game is second hand (I bought it from a store, CEX)

-My game is up to date

-I have a registration code (from the pamphlet) but I can't remember whether it is properly registered. I *thought* it was, but maybe I got bored of trying and gave up because..
   - Now, when I try to download, it says I need to register my game. But...

         - When I try, it says my code is invalid.

I really want to be able to download from the exchange and I really, *really* want CAW... I can't understand why the Sims Exchange would let me download some content, but not others.

I know I already asked something similar, but the answer I recieved didn't really help.

If my registritation code needs changing or something, how can I do that?

Please, any help will be appreciated 😕mileyhappy:

  • Second Hand games are usually already registered so you can't register them again.

    I have no idea how you got Riverview but you have no game registered on your public myPage on thesims3.com.

    All you can do is contact a game advisor to see if they can help you further

    Game advisors can be found through live chat.

    I would go with account issues. That ensure that you'll get the live chat option.
