@mississippi42315 When you installed the game on your old computer, did you add the code to your Origin account? You may have been forced to do it automatically, depending on when your base game disc was manufactured. If not, did you ever register the game on the Sims 3 Store site or thesims3.com? This site shares information with Origin, so your code would read as used if yoou tried to input it again.
The solution is simple: login to the same account that you used before, and your game should already be in your Origin library. Even if you only have an account on the old Sims 3 site, your email address and password should work in Origin as well.
I don't believe I ever registered the game on thesims3.com, and I know Origin did not require me to do so because it was years ago when I installed it. Maybe I did register it on thesims3.com, but how would I go about locating it?
