Hi so my sisters and I got sims 4 as a gift. my sisters made an origins account and installed the disk onto their laptop. once they were done I got the disk and I tried to install it onto my computer. how ever the key code was already used. I was able to install it when they used their account. however I cant log onto my account and play the game unless I use their Origins account. is there a way to use my account and their account using the same CD.
Every game has 1 serial, when you and your sister want to play at the same time you need 2 serials, what means 2 copies of the game.
But you can play the game when your sister isn't playing the game and vice versa. And yes that needs to happen on the same Origin account the game first was installed to.
I know this is frustrating, but look at this from EA's standpoint. If you could play the game on multiple devices at once with just one copy, you could lend the copy to everyone you know. Everyone would have a free game to play, and EA would not make money. And would not be able to pay the amazing people that made this amazing game.
I hope that explains it, and I hope your sister and you can work it out.
