This workaround does not work. Help us!!!!!!!

Since this mess with Origin that they are taking absolutely no time to fix, rendering my Sims Medieval game unplayable and my Sims 3 game apparently incompatible with El Capitan for the last two months, I've probably spent total 15+ hours trying to fix Sims Medieval, with EA customer support being useless. Then of course the days of my life wasted trying to fix every other sims game I've owned at one point or another. Really bummed that EA doesn't care that like many others I have spent hundreds of dollars on their products and am pretty angry that they don't work now. I think this is the end of my era of buying Sims games since EA obviously has no interest in being a decent company and supporting the products they put out.

My god, this is horrific. I did just as everyone else did, bought a code (not on origin but eBay) and activated, downloaded, and installed via Origin. My SM original used to work but now I have Pirates and Nobles installed it does nothing but ask me for the code and deny me access. I HAVE ALREADY GIVEN YOU THE CODE, LET ME PLAY MY GAME ON MAC LIKE YOU SAID I COULD EA!! VERY UPSET!!

I asked support if they would take it off the store or put a warning up about it being unplayable for Mac users. They replied that not everyone was having this problem, so there wasn't a need to.
Welp.

I've been following this thread to find a fix to the same issue. There are plenty of us who are quietly waiting for a fix, searching the forums for an answer, and apparently EA doesn't even realize it's a widespread issue. This is why DRM is a problem. Those of us who paid our money can't get past the key validation to play the game we rightfully bought....

Having the same issue - tried everything in this thread. Have been playing base Medieval for years, found out I need to buy medieval AGAIN to get the pack with Pirates & Nobles which I didn't have, then this happens. Not happy.
I am using a PC though - so not sure if it's a Mac only thing
