PLEASE HELP! Sims 3 Expansion Packs

Hi!!!

I'm getting back into my old sims 3 games and the gaming world seems to have massively evolved. 

I am wanting to install my old expansion packs to the based game. I do not have a CD Drive. When I enter the serial code number, it says it is invalid because it has already been used. 

The expansion packs were installed years ago via Origin and I do not have access to this anymore. 

Please help ☹️(( 

I have sooo many expansion packs I would like to install.

  • @motherdingo  Do you not have access to Origin anymore, which is normal; or do you not have access to the email address you used in Origin?  That's all you need: sign into the EA App with that same address, and your content should all appear in your game library.

    If you can't access the email anymore, you might be able to recover the account.  You'll need to contact EA customer support:

    Open the link in a private browser window and choose the "can't login" option when you see it.  Gather whatever evidence you can that the account originally belonged to you, for example it might help to provide photos of your discs, their cases, and the product codes.

    If this doesn't work out, external disc drives are cheap.

    @motherdingo  They should work, yes.  But if you want to be sure, borrow a CD drive from a friend to test with.  If it works, buy the same model, or maybe buy it from your friend if they don't have any use for it.
