@linnellingsund How old is the email? As of Windows 10 and El Capitan, these operating systems will no longer support SecuROM and SafeDisc. What does this mean to you? A new install has to use the new DRM - Origin. A reinstall will have to use Origin. If you buy a pack from Origin you will have to patch your game to use DRM of Origin. IMO this is better as now there is no install limit and you don't need a disc to play. SecuROM and SafeDisc were considered rootkits. SecuROM and SafeDisc never fully accomplished their purpose and both were poorly supported. You need to create an account in Origin and redeem the codes (base game and packs) in Origin and I would recommend installing by digital downloads. You can install from disc but you will have to use the manual 1.67 super patch then have Origin patch to version 1.69. Packs from disc will have to patch. It's not as bad as it sounds. I had to go through the conversion when I upgraded to Windows 10. My game runs without problems and I was even able to add a pack from Origin with no issues.
Don't feel bad I just bought The Sims™ 3 Worlds Bundle and I can't even find the thing to down load it I have repaired and Repatched and I cant even redeem the code at all
@litalstar You can download the Origin client installer at this link - Origin installer download - install - and redeem code for base game. Once the code is accepted the game icon should appear in the library and you can install from there.
@linnellingsund If you bought the game through Origin you shouldn't have to redeem the code. The game should be activated in the Origin account you were using when you bought the game. Log in using the log in and password you were using when you bought the game. The game icon should be in the library with an install button. The easiest way is you already have Origin installed, login using the same log in and password you used to buy the game and the game installer icon should be in the library pre activated. If clicking the install button in Origin does not work your may have something (antivirus, malware remover, etc) blocking Origin.
All my other games have appeared on origin, i have done nothing different this time but in the instruction mail this is what it says
