worlds if bought in orign or on a disk are redeemed on your the sims 3 account downloaded and intalled from there
if you redemed the code in your orign account that may make the code invalid contact CS to assist with that
The disc installation process skips over instead of installing
Not sure what's up with that but try to redeem your code in the store and download from your purchase history instead
If you bought the world through the Origin Store, you'll be sent a code which you need to redeem at thesims3.com (NOT on Origin or your code becomes invalid).

- Click on Redeem a Code
- Enter the 16-letter code, accept the Policies and click on Redeem
- Go to your purchase history to download the world (make sure your game is updated to the newest version)
OR
