@roberta591 Well, i never got the games back. And i think it doesn't matter when i had the cd's, because there was no app connected to the games. Therefore no traces of me owning the games. End of sad story ;(

@mariellio If your base game disc was manufactured before September of 2012, you could install Sims 3 via disc without Origin's (or now the EA App's) involvement. These older discs don't require Origin or the EA App. (It doesn't matter when the packs' discs were made.) Let me know if you'd like help with this process.
You could instead register the codes that came with your base game and packs in the EA App and download everything without needing the discs. Or if you've already registered the codes, even on the old Sims 3 site, you could login to the App using that same account and download the content.
