Lost old sims 3 games in fire

So in 2013 I had a house fire and lost all my games and my desktop. I don't have the disks or the codes nor do I remember the login I had back then. Is there anyway I can get them back. I had the base game, supernatural, ambitions, world adventures and island paradise. I always wanted the university one but since my games were destroyed I figured I'd never play again. I would like to know if there is anyway I can prove I owned these games?

  • @pigpocket18  If you ever registered the content, either with Origin (as was the option back then) or on the Sims 3 Store site, the game and packs should be attached to your EA account.  So if you did have an account at the time, try signing into the EA App with that email address and password, or just enter any address you had a decade ago and click "Forgot your password?"

    Otherwise, no, sorry, there's nothing you can do here.  It's not what you want to hear, but both the EA App and Steam have frequent sales of Sims 3 content.  The App offers the Starter Pack (base game plus two packs) and almost everything else for 50-60% off, and Steam has a "The Sims 3 Collection" bundle that's discounted all the time and even more so during sales.  In fact, both have a sale going on right now; the advantage of Steam is that you don't need to use the EA App at all to play, although you could if you wanted.
