hi I recently decided that i wanted to give sims 3 another go i went on Origin and and downloaded it and the only pack that it said i had was ambitions which is not true, I’ve lost all my serial codes as i have not played the game in a long while. To make things even more complicated I played majority of my sims on a pc which i no longer have * to if anyone could help me please do i really don’t want to have to purchase all the games again
@lilpilauld When TS3 was released in 2009 pack codes were stored in the registry on the computer the game was installed on. When Windows 10 and IOS announced it would no longer support the DRM of SecuROM, TS3 was patched to use the DRM of Origin which is much like Steam. Prior to Origin it was the responsibility of the purchaser to retain the pamphlet with the activation code. The bad news is without the old computer and no pamphlets or email that has the codes you are probably going to be at the mercy of EA support. The good news is that the prices are lower now. Before Origin the activation of packs was very loose. Now with Origin - one code one owner. I have several Games for Windows that got orphaned when Microsoft shut down Games for Windows. This is the one thing I feared would happen when a distributor now longer will support the DRM the game was published with. I was able to recover some games by buying the console versions (and/or Steam version) but I don't know how long that will last. I'm on my second Xbox one s - seems there is a motherboard problem that has component failure. I don't know what to tell you. I feel your pain being a long time PC gamer. I have several Xbox 360 games that are orphaned and no other source. Old games are going the way of Betamax.
