Hi @riseshinefall,
Is your code for Pirate & Noble a 16 digits code? If so, open the game and click on the options button on the main screen:
Choose "Redeem Code" and enter your code in the pop-up menu:
If it still doesn't work let us know.
Hi @EA_Zoe,
My code is indeed 16 digits. I tried to open the game both in Origin and in Steam (after unchecking the EP in Steam), but both times I got an error message saying "Unable to start game: Error code 24576". It would seem that the universe is out to get me :P
Is there a way to make the error go away? I'd like to try your solution but I can't make the game run.
Argh, I hate when it does that @riseshinefall. Also this error code popped up a few times on AHQ but there's no bulletproof solution so it seems ☹️ Hopefully we can find the solution today.
First thing first, what OS are you using?
Secondly, do you remember how you uninstalled the game from Steam? Did you click on "Delete local content" or did you went into "Uninstall or change a program"?
When uninstalling completely a game I recommend to always use some kind of removal software like CC Cleaner. Because there's always a key registry or a random little file you have no idea was here that stays and mess things up.
Hello again! Apologies for my late reply, I didn't notice that you had replied (oops)...
I'm using Windows 7.
When I uninstalled the game from Steam I selected "Delete local content" after making a backup of my Saves, Saved Sims and Screenshots. I'll try uninstalling the game again, but using the removal software you mentioned this time to make sure I got everything 🙂 Hope this works *crosses fingers*
