I Can't Register The Sims3 Monte Vista

I purchased the Sims3 Monte Vista game from Walmart. Came home installed it on my PC. Entered the 16 digit code. The game is not showing up in Origin at all. I can't register it ...it keeps saying that the code is invalid. There is no product code on the box that it came in. and it only came with a paper pamphlet with the 16 digit serial number. I under stand it's a world/stuff pack. All the other games I have bought, I have no problems registering. This is very frustrating to me. Also can't connect to Origin from the Sims3 game launcher when it loads either. I would appreciate some feedback explaining this issues and how to rectify the problems. I have reinstalled origin already to ensure that I have the latest version. 

Thank you in advance

    I've tried this.  MV supposedly shows up in my Purchase History, but there is no icon, and now nothing from the store will download.  I've tried three browsers, IE, Chrome, and Firefox, and have cleared the cache on each.  Nothing will spawn a download link to the installer.

    Bought the DVD, entered the code and the redeem button doesn't activate and will not allow me to click on it.

    When I am loading the install program I get the following error:

    Script Error

    Line 74
    Char 4

    Error: Object doesn't support property or method 'easySlider'

    Code 0

    URL http://www.thesims3.com/launcher/redeemMVDVD.html

    I went to the link provided and the redeem button on website there wouldn't activate either.

    What do I do? I bought the expansion at a store that I can't return it to, and I can't play the game either because it will not install. Please help.

    Thanks!

    Found a solution on this thread, fixed it for me!


    Couple of questions/options:
     
    First, did you follow these instructions below? The code format is correct (4x4). Sims 3 Monte Vista is extra content and not like an expansion pack. You will not see a game tile in Origin to download. You will also not be able to redeem the code through the Origin client. All of these codes must be redeemed by following the instructions below:
     
    1. Go to store.thesims3.com/myAccount.html in your web browser.
    2. You will be prompted to login to your Sims 3 account. If you don’t already have an account, you can register one for FREE by selecting the "Join Now for Free" link.
    3. Once you've logged into your Sims 3 Account, Select "Redeem a Code".
    4. Under the Redeem a Code panel, put in your 16 digit game code to redeem Monte Vista.
    5. Next, go to your Purchase History and select "Download" underneath the Monte Vista icon to install the content.
    6. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation process.
     
    **IF the above does not work for you, you receive an error the code is already used or that you are already entitled to this content, can you please try the following:**
     
    1. Launch Sims 3 and make sure that Sims 3 is fully up to date.
    2. Make sure you log in. In the upper right hand corner of the Sims 3 launcher, you'll see "Log in Here"
    3. Once logged in, click on the 'downloads' button on the left.
    4. You should now see that Monte_Vista is displaying with a check box to the left.
    5. Select the checkbox and then click "install" at the bottom of the page.
     
    This should get you up and running.




  • I had a same problem with Monte Vista and I used reedem code in the website of sims 3 and it worked. At first I didn't see the icon of Monte Vista in purchase history but after couple of refresh, it came. Now downloading Monte Vista from my purchase history.  Thanks!
