Steam Product Code For Origin

Just brought the Game on steam, Where is the Product Code for Origin?

I can't play the game and Origin is asking for a Product Code cause its an "Unidentified Game". I can't find this code anywhere its not in my Email or anything. So where is it?

Keep getting after I open the game (Yes I'm launching it through steam) (mind you I downloaded it and uninstall it many times thinking it was a download issue) I keep getting "Activation Required" and Origin wanting a code. Can someone please help. I see in the download that there is a Sims 4-Key and its install.

It's Launching from Steam, Opens Origin, Origin Asking for an "Activation Required" You get Two options, Activate Game or Not (My account). I click Activate its asking for Product Code.

I have deleted origin and had steam re-download it many times now and it still asking for activation required and need a product code. i even tried to Verify Game Files but still does the same thing.

Click Sims 4 inside steam under library, launches, open origin, and keep getting that same issue.

  • Yes bro, I just bought sims 4 and I’m having such a hard time even trying to get the game running. My origins account is asking for the product code so it knows I have the sims but I never got any type of code.

    @John1803Metcalf  The typical reason this happens is you're signed into the "wrong" Origin account, as in, not the one linked to the Steam account that owns Sims 4.  Make sure you're in the correct account and try again.

    If you're not sure what account to use, go to ea.com, click the sign-in button and then the Steam logo, and enter your Steam credentials.  Then check which email address is listed in your Origin profile.  That's the email you need to use when signing into Origin.
