@crunchies4me It should work but you have to use the Origin version of the base game for Origin expansion packs and the Steam version needs Steam expansion packs but you can use the Steam codes in Origin but you can not use Origin codes in Steam. You can buy packs from third party vendors and redeem the codes in Origin and the packs should be enabled. Used codes will not work.

@crunchies4me Origin is run by EA just like Steam is run by Valve. Just don't buy Steam expansions pack. If you buy from a vendor just redeem the code in Origin or thesims3.com and the pack should appear in Origin. If you buy through Origin the pack is automatically added to your Origin account.
- Anonymous9 years agoThanks so much!!! I got the pets expansion pack cd rom from Amazon because it was much cheaper than origin. Plus downloading the game from origin has taken me atleast 3 days of nearly non stop downloading. It was a bit frustrating. Does the code for the expansion pack cd rom cost anything??
