Re: Transferring Sims 3 to another computer

Yes, once a game was registered to your Origin account you will be able to play it whenever and wherever you are. I guess you accidentally logged into a different account, maybe? I can see all your Sims games on this account you posted with here, so once you log in with this account, all your Sims games should be available to you via the Origin library without asking for a new product code.

    • Download the Origin client http://origin.com/download
    • Register your game if it isn't already registered by going through redeem product code in the Origin dropdown menu
    • Go to your My Games
    • Download
  • for me when I had first installed my game onto Origin it didn't show up but I could still play it. An issue occurred on my laptop so I uninstalled my games and brought them to my Grandmas house. I successfully installed the ones that showed up onto my Origin but the ones that didn't show up I couldn't install them so now I have 4 Sims games that should work but aren't.

    Can anyone help me?

    I apologize if this EXACT question has been asked...Im kinda desperate if you're a fellow simmer you should understand, so I'll keep it simple. 

    I have a new computer

    I have some of my games discs

    I have some of my games registration codes

    The ONLY game I have registered is the Main Sims 3

    QUESTION? What do I do if the registration code is lost after never being registered on origin and I have a new computer? Again...I have a new computer, and I need codes for games that I never registe4red. Thanks!
