I deleted the game before and hadn't played for a while. After a while of reinstalling I realized that the key was not there. By the way, I have linked my Steam and Origin account now. I just have to import The Sims 3 into Origin.

@denizelifs Did you buy bundle? If so, base game and that expansion share the same code, you just need to register the expansion key and base game plus the expansion were registered in origin.This worked for me.

    No :/ but I contacted with EA again and they said there is no way to transfer game Steam to Origin but I don’t know if it will work when i find the CD key.  Thanks for helping.

      @denizelifs  The EA support rep is incorrect: it's always been possible to register a Steam copy of Sims 3 in Origin.  Newer games don't transfer this way, but that's a different story.

      If you contact EA support again and get the same answer, please let me know.  That shouldn't happen.
