Hey there @mestar1_peruna 

 

It sounds like you may be logging into a different EA account than the one you originally purchased The Sims on. Go ahead and check your Order History on this account- if you're not seeing any purchase history for The Sims, that means your game is located on a different account. You'll need to login to the account you originally purchased your game on, and you'll see the content in your game library again. 

 

If you need help locating the other EA account, that's something the live support team can help you with- here on AHQ we don't have access to look into those account details with you. You can reach out to the live support team on the help site here, or you can contact in through Twitter or Facebook as well if you prefer.

Origin accounts won't reset on their own, and if the name has changed, it does sound like you're on a different account than your original one. I'd recommend you go ahead and reach out to live support about this so they can help you locate what account your game is tied to.

@mestar1_peruna,

 

Codes are one-time use only, so you would not be able to redeem the code a second time on a different account.
