Re: How do you put money in the sims game
@555AM555 Do you mean you bought an Origin or EA cash card? If so, there are a couple of ways you can add the value of the card to your account. Open Origin, hover over your username, and select EA Account & Billing, which will take you to your account info page on ea.com. Click the Payment Methods tab, then EA Wallet, input your code, and click the box to indicate you accept EA's terms and conditions.
The other method is to pick something you'd like to buy. Click on Buy Now, and when the payment method screen comes up, click the EA Wallet header. Then click the blue text that says "Add funds to your EA wallet," add the code, check the box to accept the terms, and then click Submit. You may have to scroll down a bit to see these options. By the way, this method works even if you don't want to buy anything at the moment—after adding the info, you can X out the payment information screen, and your money will still be on your account.
When paying for an item, if you want to use your EA Wallet funds, click on the EA Wallet header, chen check the box that says "Apply to Purchase," which is right underneath the balance left in your wallet.
