Registering A Game
I am playing Sims 3 through my Origin/EA Play subscription. I was trying to use the exchange but it says I need to register the game. Is there a way to do that.
Forum Discussion
@michelle_renee86 There should be a way, yes, although I'm not totally sure whether the "normal" way works. If it doesn't, let me know, and I'll ask if there's something else you should do instead.
Open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 3 icon, and select Game Properties. Among other things, you should see a 20-character CD key. Try using that key to register on the exchange site; you can copy and paste it to make sure the code is entered correctly.
It didn't work, I tried it multiple times because it wouldn't let me copy/paste, but each time this popped up.
@michelle_renee86 Just checking, but did you try to sign into the Sims 3 site using your Origin account credentials? If you'd bought the game outright through Origin, you'd be able to sign into the site without creating a new account. I think that's not how it works for people who just use Origin Access/EA Play to download the game, but I haven't tried that route.
At any rate, I'll ask if someone knows the answer. It might take a couple days to get a reply though, this being the weekend.
Yeah, I used my Origin/EA play, because I have the subscription.
