Can I use my sim 4 key on more than one computer.

I havebought the sims 4 for my children and am wondering if I can put it on all my units in my house hold. They are all under the same IP address. My childre each have a computer in their bedrooms and we have one in the living room. I also have my own personal rig in my bedroom that I would also like to put it on. Can I use the same key on all 4 computers. I'm afraid if not I will be returning the game. Cause I don't want to have to buy more than one copy for both my children to play it. Tnx

  • Codes can only be used once and once only, but you can download the game on your Origin account in your game library more than once as much as you want on the same computer or different computer.

  • : / But what if my kids all wanna play at the same time? Can they all be logged in at the same time? Do they have to be logged in to play the game once I DL it to the comp? Tnx =D

    Hello,

    Unfortunately that is not possible unless you buy separate copies for each child's Origin account. Because The Sims 4 can be tied to only one Origin account, only one computer (and thus one person) is able to play the game at once.

    They could always take turns, or play together using the one computer.

    I hope this helps and keep simming,

  • unfortunatly not D: My kids now try to play sims 3 together and it's just all day fighting.... I'm really disapointed that EA them selves wouldn't help a loyal customer out in a situation like this. I have now purchased 2 copies of the game on origins because of the last reply and a physical copy and because they are so picky about what I do with the game I paid for I will have to buy another 1-2 copies of this game. Seems so unfair specially for people like me who really don't have a buget this year for it. This will most likely be the last sims game I buy and I usually buy all the x-pacs.  (This is the first year my kids play too)  /sigh  Tnx everyone for your helpful info though =D

    I understand where you're coming from but that's how most PC games/software works these days. I know this game is expensive and if you're on a budget, you can't afford to buy it multiple times but if you think about it, most real life stuff works the same way. You can either share and play together (and need to find a common ground how you play) or you need to copies of something.

    Anyways, could you please accept a solution to this post so we helpers see that this is solved and that it needs no further attention. It also helps the next person with the same issue.

  • Hi! I have a question. Do I have to start a new game everytime I download Sims 4 on a new computer? Thanks.

    Yes it is possible, you have to log in to origin on the other computers and download the game on that computer, my dad and my niece have my origin log ins and they can all play and I believe at th same time also I’m not sure though, since I rarly play it
