Sunset Valley
I downloaded my Sims 3 game (plus Pets & High End Loft) onto my new computer, but Sunset Valley now says I have to purchase it with Sims Cash. When I click to do that, it asks me to log in. I try to ...
@thesims1depot I think the op is being requested to activate the game on the new computer and the browser the op is using may have a corrupt cookie and can't log in to an existing account. This is an uncommon condition that happens when the web site is restarted. Existing cookies need to be cleared so a new cookie can be created or the old cookie will expire after some time. The game needs to be activated on every computer the game is installed on which requires an Origin account to be logged into. I'm guessing the game installer is finding Origin installed already and wants the op to login to activate the new install.
So are you saying you're still having this problem, except with Hidden Springs?
