Just bought used sims 3

I just bought a copy of the sims 3 starter pack off of a friend, but the sheet that listed the keycodes isnt with it. is there anything i can do so I can install it?

@BeautifullyMad1 Hey. Pc games can't be re-used and the codes can't be transferred. The discs are only really for data storage, the real part of ownership is the code consumed on your account. I'd guess you'll want to get a refund, and if you still want the game you can buy an unused physical copy or buy from the Origin store.

If data usage is an issue, you should be able to use the discs to install once you have the game on your account. 

Thanks, I hope this helps to clear things up.
