I bought my Sims 3 game yesterday--at Walmart,still in the box--NEW. When I try to register it, registration is refused saying it is an invalid code. So, what do I do ? The code I used is the 20diget code at the top of the page of the instruction booklet--is there another one that I just do not see?
Hey
With serial codes stating they're invalid, you most likely will have to contact EA, they can be found here: http://eahelp.ea.com/en/ . For help with navigating your way around, see this: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Beta-Archive/How-to-contact-a-Game-Advisor-using-the-new-EA-Help-page/m-p/2161281
With registering codes on ORIGIN and not being able to find your code, etc please see here: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2013/09/how-to-find-your-serial-number.html
Please keep in mind that if you bought the game off Origin, it is AUTOMATICALLY registered FOR YOU! To get your accounts connected, simply use the same details as you use for Origin.
If you have bought the game second-hand - you will not be able to re-register it. Games can only be registered ONCE.
