Registration Code not working for Sims3.com or Origin

Do not feel bad I am having the same issues and so far no one has been able to offer me any help. Hope you get some help on this.

for Origin enter your code here.

If you already have Origin open you may have to "refresh my games" for it to show up.


the redeem game code thing in Origin hasn't worked for a year or so now.

I'm not sure why you are having trouble registering it here.

Where do we enter the codes for the custom content that game with the Katy Perry game version? That is what im having trouble with, keeps saying the link is invalid.

For Katy Perry's edition, this is the link:
http://www.thesims3.com/incentive/CollectorsRedeem.html

For the Limited Edition, use this one:
http://www.thesims3.com/incentive/ShowtimeRedeem

This sites are for getting the extra content on each game. To know which code to enter go to store.origin.com, click on the "user assistance" tab on the top right corner (not sure what it says exactly, my version of the site's in Spanish and reads "atención al usuario"). You'll see an option at the top of this site that says "view purchase history" (or something like that). Click here and enter your order's data. You'll be redirected to a page with a list of your products and any extra content they came with. The code for the extra content doesn't have the option for downloading from Origin, and it's shorter than the code for the games themselves. Enter this code, WITHOUT the dashes (-) on the corresponding link I've provided above. After a while, you'll get to see the items on your purchase history.

I got helped with this by an EA advisor, it's the only way I could've possibly gotten all of that right, seeing as there are no official instructions anywhere! :roll:

Simplicity is not EA's thing, I guess ¬¬

There is a difference between registering you game and redeem codes for stuff. Use the codes for the links provided for redeeming but use your game SN number to register your game on TheSims3.com

You can register your game on the Origin site but since they are not fully sync'ed up with your TheSims3.com profile data the game will not show up on your My Page at least right away. Its best to register on TheSims3.com

If your SN will not work to register your game (which it will not if you registered on Origin first) then you need to contact Origin Help to help you fix that. They may have a typo in the code they are expecting or some other problem they have to clear.

I had a problem with pets when trying to register my game and it kept telling me the SN was invalid (that's when I learned about not registering on Origin first if I wanted the game to show up on TheSims3.com site right away). They had to fix something and then the game registered.

Unfortunately, when it comes to SN numbers (product unlock keys) there is no workaround or anything that you can do to fix it if it does not work - you need help from the tech guys who have the only access to fix something like that

I just bought Showtime from Origin a few days ago and my code didn't work. I used the Live Chat feature and, after more than an hour wait, finally talked with someone who, after checking and taking up another 15 minutes or so, was able to give me a registration code that worked. The codes for the extra content worked fine and I didn't have to do anything with them. The wait isn't usually this crazy but I'm guessing that, with the big sale Origin had this weekend, there were a lot of similar issues.

I'm having exactly the same problem only with The Sims 3. I have registered other games but it won't let me register the base game! Help!!!!!

I have the same problem. I have registered too all expansions except base game.

Hi, yesterday I bought both the Sims 3 game and the World Adventures expansion pack, but when I checked online I hadn't been credited any simpoints. Is this normal? Do you not get them if you buy through Origin? I entered their serial codes to try and redeem the points online, but it just told me they were invalid, suggesting they were already registered.
If anyone has had this happen to them and has been rewarded simpoints (or not) or if anyone knows of a way to do it, please let me know.
Thanks :)

I brought Sims 3 University life on Amazon and didn't send me code write to them and could not found code refund £10 but how play Sims 3 University life with no code to register I would like play game Sims 3 University life if there way can get register code please for Sims 3 University?

@Dasiy - Not sure which format you purchased from Amazon (Origin codes, disc), but can you not purchase the EP directly from Origin? If EA is the vendor and something doesn't work, then EA customer service can fix that more easily as only they can see into your Origin account.
