Sims 3 Expansions Split onto Two Accounts
So back when Origin first launched I accidentally made two accounts, one attached to my Sims 3 account and one with a different email. I've moved to a different computer and half of my sims 3 expansions are on the older account, and half are on the newer account. I can log into and download from both accounts, but if I launch sims 3 from one origin account I can't play the expansions on to the second account, with some exceptions.
The Older Account has: Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, Ambitions, Late Night, Outdoor Living Stuff, and World Adventures
The Newer Account (Which has all my other origin games): Seasons, Showtime, Supernatural, University, Pets, Island Paradise, Into the Future, High End Stuff, and Fast Lane Stuff
For some reason Pets, Showtime, and Supernatural are accessible by both accounts but that's the only overlap
How can I get all my expansions on one account, or at least make the game recognize all the dlc I have on the computer even if it's on the other account?
@GrumpyMac Sorry to hear that. If the store content is only on one account, you can keep that one and have the other merged, and your content should stay intact. But if that's not the account you'd like to keep overall, then maybe the most cost-effective approach is to buy the missing packs when they go on sale. Origin will probably have a holiday sale soon, although it's not always clear what gets discounted. Steam probably will too, and I've seen Sims 3 packs offered for as low as $5 each.
It's too bad there isn't a better way to merge accounts, but that's unfortunately how it is.
