    Well, here is EA's statement on product code redemption as of 08-14-2013, hope it helps

    "We're aware that some players are unable to redeem their game codes in Origin, while others are just experiencing an up to 30 minute delay in redeeming their code. We are running a charity promotion with Humble Bundle which has received an extremely high response. The amount of redemption attempts has put a huge strain on the servers at the moment. 
    We're working to correct this as soon as possible. In the mean time, please hang on to your codes and stay tuned for updates. Thanks for your patience!"

     


    Also, forgot to mention that this applies to all games, not just humble bundle games. Cheers!

    I've got the same problem. I can't redeem my the sims 3 starter pack from the origin. Then it told me to redeem that at the sims' website. I redeemed that. In my purchase history there are the Monte Vista and Graham's Pet Swap Shop. But where is the sims 3? I clicked download but I can't open that in my firefox. Then I used ie and it still didn't respond? What happened??? I never thought that installing a game could be that frustrated.  So disappointed! It's such a nightmare! Why do I have to intall that through origin? Why can't I just do that as the old ways?

    digital download games are download and installed via orign  from the my games tab so origin needs to be downlaoded to the computer( if it's a mac you get the mac version of origin)  http://www.origin.com/download  then once origin is downloaded you log in with your account details (email and password )  then download the game or games as the case may be  https://help.ea.com/article/how-do-i-download-my-new-game-on-origin but worlds that are bought in origin or on a disk the codes are redeemed in your the sims 3 account and downloaded from your purchase history on the sims 3 site FAQ store worlds and how they work oh and also DLC content for example the stasis chamber the code is redeemed in your the sims 3 account and downloaded from the purchase history too
