Serial Code Invalid?

So I have tried linking my serial code found on my origin to my sims 3 account (it is a new account I have just created)  but it keeps telling me the code is invalid. I have seen the reasons on why it might be invalid but none of those apply to me. What should I do?

  • @hammerandfail  Any code registered in Origin, whether it's because you bought it there or because you registered a third-party code, has already been used by definition.  The Sims 3 Store and Origin/the EA App share information, meaning a code used in one location can't be reused in the other.  But all you need to do is login to the Store with the same email and password you use in Origin, and your content should already be on your account.
