Sims Medieval Removed from Library

Earlier today I loaded up The Sims Medieval and played for several hours with no issues. The game was already installed (I own CD copies of The Sims Medieval: Limited Edition and the Pirates & Nobles expansion, which I installed back when the EA App was Origin, and all of which worked fine). I loaded up the game with no issues when I double clicked the desktop icon. I closed and reopened the game several times in the course of the afternoon, and all ran perfectly.

However, when I returned after dinner and tried to reopen exactly as I had before, I got this message in the EA App:

You don't have access

This title may have been downloaded to you device by another user who owns the game. Log in to a different account or restart the app to try again.

 

No one else has access to my computer, and I have only the one account (that has been logged in this whole time).

  • I have tried restarting the app.
  • I have tried clearing the cache following instructions on Answers HQ.
  • I have even tried following instructions to enter the CD code on sims3.com and the Sims 3 store website.

NONE of this has worked.

I also have a message in my EA App that says:

! Games have been removed from our library. View details for more information.

However, when I click on details, there is NOTHING there! I have attached a screenshot showing the total lack of details or information.

I am incredibly angry and frustrated that this game - which has been paid for, which I was in the middle of playing - has suddenly been REMOVED from my library and I'm no longer able to play it.

I would appreciate a solution that doesn't ask me to repeat steps I have already tried.

  • @Lundlaeva , you may have to contact EA Help Support. They may ask you to provide a photo of your game case with the code. They are the only ones who can regrant permissions.

    Thanks for the reply. I was about to ask how I contact EA Help Support (because I've been clicking around the site looking for how to do that off and on since I posted yesterday, but without any luck!) BUT ...

    The Sims Medieval has mysteriously and randomly returned to my library. It seems to be playable, at least for now. I haven't done anything, it's just back. (I still have a message about removed games that is blank when I click 'view details' so not a clue what that is referring to.)

    A very strange situation but hopefull it is now resovled.
