@XTraSWEPizzaHere Just to clarify, it's still possible to install Sims 3 via disc IF you have disc copies of all your packs and a base game disc that was manufactured prior to September 2012. It's just not always possible to combine disc and Origin installs if the discs were already registered, and that's unfortunately the case for you. However, if you managed to find an old-enough base game disc, you could use your disc-based packs with it. There are still plenty of players who use discs without Origin's involvement.
Anyway, I'm sorry this didn't work, and I hope you can get your money back.
