My Sims 3 World Bundle Won't install.
Hi, today I purchesed sims 3 world bundle in the physical. It includes Hidden Springs and Monte Vista. I followed the steps to install it. Once I had finished I went onto my sims 3 but it wasn't there. It came up but it said I had to purchse it for 2,000 points at the main screen. Surprisingly there was no code in the cover and no manual. But there was a code but that only unlocked a chocolate fountain. I've been sitting here for about two hours installing it and uninstalling it waiting for it to come up. Please help!!!!!!

Hidden Springs
The world can either be bought through Origin or as Code in a box in a retail store.
Hidden Springs is probably the most difficult to redeem if you bought the disc version (available also in the world bundle). The retail version does contain a disc but there's not much on it (the world sure isn't). To make it even more confusing, when redeeming the code or going through the install process, for some the world isn't added to your purchase history but you get Simpoints credited to your account. You can then use to those to buy the world here: Hidden Springs. It doesn't matter that it says it costs 2000 SP on the page. If you got 2450 SP credited, that's what it will cost. The disc version is only for the world, there's no extra Simpoints. You can also only use those for the world itself and not buy something else.
There seem to be disc version around that give you a code that add the world directly to your purchase history. So if you don't get Simpoints, check there.
Monte Vista
The world can either be bought through a Simpoint Bundle, on Origin or as Code in a box in a retail store.
The disc version actually contains the sims3pack file but you'll still need to register since the file itself needs an account activation. After inserting the disc, a wizard will guide you through the process. The world should then be copied directly to your downloads folder from where you can install it through the launcher. If not, you can download it from your purchase history or through the Webpage: Monte Vista
The code comes on a leaflet inside the DVD Box. You can also redeem the code directly, following the Origin instructions above without inserting the DVD.
