Problems with activating code from box vers. on Origin
I need help.
As a kid, I collected Sims 3 and its extension packs in box versions (aka could play it offline with just installing it and applying the code). But since I updated my Windows and lost all files as well as I lost the box version of the original Sims 3, I cant run my expansion packs now. So, I wanted to try it run on Origin. And it worked. Except, some of my codes from box vers. of expansion pack (those codes from inside of the box) are not working.
When I put them into "origin redeem product code", it says "your code has been already redeemed" even though I've never uploaded them on Origin in the first place. Now Im not sure what to do since I cant play it either way. It's really difficult to get the original base game of Sims 3 in my country, so I hope I find a way how to install those expansion packs on Origin. (to be more exact, it's Supernatural, Adventure time, Generation, etc.)
Is there anyone who knows what to do in such a situation?
