  • I have Origin and was able to install the expansion pack (Seasons), but it won't let me play until the original Sims is installed. I tried entering the code in, but I had already installed the code on another (old) computer and it won't let me register that same code on my new laptop... How can I get the game on my new computer since I am not going to be using it on my old computer??

    @scoots_magoots13  Once a product code has been registered in Origin, it can't be used again.  But you should be able to download the base game from whichever account you used to register Sims 3 in the first place.  If you're not sure what account you used back then, contact EA customer support for help.
