    @prettycupcakes21  The way this works is, you buy a card worth a set amount of money, e.g. you buy a $30 EA cash card for $30 at a store.  Then you sign into your Origin account and redeem the code, which you can do when you're ready to pay for something (click Buy Now, then choose the EA Wallet tab, and click "Add funds to your EA Wallet") or when you first buy the cards.  You can add as many cash cards to your EA Wallet as you want.

    When you're buying a product, you can choose to pay with your EA wallet funds: click that tab, then check the box under your balance that says "Apply to purchase."  You don't need to pay an extra fee to use these funds.  The entirety of your EA wallet balance will be available to you when you're making a purchase, regardless of whether you bought one cash card or a whole pile of them.

    If you want to buy Sims 4, consider waiting until it goes on sale: it can cost as little as $5 U.S.  Expansion packs can be $20, and game and stuff packs are usually discounted as well.
