Invalid product key code for bonus content with 70s 80s 90s pack?

Same for me.  Only I can't register Seasons or the 70's 80's 90's Stuff pack, either.  It says my codes are invalid!  I'm getting them right off of the Origin Information screen! 

Sorry this isn't a help, but wanted to report the same problem.

Hi all,

I'm having a weird issue trying to download the Origin pre-order bonus for the Sims 3 70s 80s & 90s Stuff Pack, the Decades Pinball Machine. When I go to the page to register the code I received through e-mail for downloading the game, I get a message saying that I entered an invalid code.

The code itself is 16 letters/digits, split up into 4 chunks of 4. I tried entering it with and without dashes but got the same error. I tried downloading it using the code with the Origin client, but got an unspecified error just directing me back to the Answer HQ.

Can someone offer me advice on steps I can take? I apologize if this is a weird question to ask here, but I've checked the help website multiple times and the Live Chat option never seems to be available.

Thanks in advance for any tips anyone can provide!

If you buy on Origin, the game auto-registers on your thesims3.com account.

See if this thread for details:

You're right.  I did purchase it on Origin, but when I tried to register from the Sims 3 My Page, I got the same message.  The code is invalid.

But crinrict, I think the problem we described is different. I can actually load up the main 70s 80s and 90s content just fine. What I'm describing is a single bonus item that requires having a code used, at the following URL: http://www.thesims3.com/incentive/sp8originredeem

Here are the specific instructions that were delivered via e-mail:

Here’s how to redeem your Origin exclusive The Decades Pinball Machine:

1. Install your The Sims™ 3 game first!
2. Register with The Sims™ 3 Community if you haven't already- Go to www.thesims3.com/register in your browser or click the "Sign Up Now" button on the Game Launcher.
3. Return to this page: www.thesims3.com/incentive/sp8originredeem and enter the unique code you received from Origin in the field on the right.
4. Once your code is entered, you'll see a link to install the item from your Purchase History page (found on store.thesims3.com). Locate the item on your Purchase History page and click install*. This will launch the game and install your item.

Yes, there has been an issue which has been fixed (not so quietly if you know where to look)  🙂
