Re: Sims Medieval won't start and Codes are invalid

@lesoleildeminuit Hey there, I took a look at your account and I think I know what's happening.

To start, you can uninstall the disc version, if memory serves it won't run on Windows 8.

However the Origin version should run fine. You mention the codes not working when they should, but it looks like The Sims Medieval has been redeemed a few years ago on that account. So I'd guess it's in your library, just filtered/hidden, which would explain why you can't add it again.

So can you log into Origin, then click the Filter button in the top right, and go through all filtered games, especially the Hidden Games? Hopefully Sims Medieval will show up there for you, and you can download and play without further issue.

Please let us know how you get on, or if I've misunderstood any part of your post.

Thank you.

Thank you so much to everyone for the quick help!
I tried following the instructions here and you were right! After a bit of confusion I did found the Sims Medieval, the only issue I have is that the extension pack (Sims Medieval - Pirates and Nobles) is not there and the same issue applies with the code being invalid. I do not know why exactly the base game works but not the extension pack (I bought both in a combo)?

@lesoleildeminuit Does Pirates and Nobles appear in Medieval's Expansion Pack list? DLC no longer appears separately in Origin library, but in the list that you can access when you click on a base game in Origin.

I think it does appear but only as an option that I can buy as a Deluxe Pack. The version I had came with two CDs and two codes for them, but only one appears in my library. Also, thank you!
