Product code Sims 4

What is the specific reason for the product codes to be single use. I bought The Sims 4 for my brother and I and I let him download it first. Does this mean I will need to spend another $60 to buy another game? Is there a different way to solve this? Need help.

  • I bought the sims 4 for my self, but my son likes to play sims also.  So I put it on is computer first.  I did not think anything of because we always used the same sims 3 games.  It is crazy if everyone will have to go out and buy another copy.  Well I was crazy because I was not going to us my son's username

     and password.  I paid 80 for my game the first time.  Good luck 

  • I'm not sure if its different with the sims 4, but with all my sims 3 games, I registered the games with origin and downloaded the origin client on my computer and my daughters computer and am able to download and play the games on both using the origin downloader.

    If you bought the DVD box, you can find the code inside it. If you bought it on Origin, you can find your game in your library.

    You have already registered the game yourself and are trying to reinstall the game
    The game does not need to be registered again. Login in the Origin Client with the Email/PW you first registered the game on and download and install the game from there. The game only needs to be registered once and you won't need the code again after your initial registration. This is true for both the DVD and the download version. You can skip the activation step on reinstalling.
