[EA_Spectre]

Purchasing The Sims 3 game and Expansions/Stuff Packs through Origin

When you purchase The Sims 3 or any of its Expansions or Stuff Packs through Origin, you no longer need to manually register your product through The Sims 3’s website. Just make sure that your Origin account details match the details of your Sims 3 account, and Origin will register your products for you.

If you don't already have Sims 3 account, you can make one by going to http://www.thesims3.com

 
Registering The Sims 3 game and Expansions/Stuff Packs to your Origin account

If you already own The Sims 3 or any of the Expansion/Stuff Packs, and wish to register them on your Origin account, please follow the steps below. Please note, these are 20 digit codes – if your code has 16 digits, it’s for bonus downloadable content. You can find instructions on how to register 16 digit codes in the next section of this article.
 
1.     Go to http://www.thesims3.com and make an account if you do not already have one.  If you have an account, skip to step 3.
2.     When making an account, enter your serial code for The Sims 3.
3.     Once you are a registered member of the The Sims 3 website, login to your account so that you can then register any other expansion packs or stuff packs that you own to your account.
4.     Click on the My Page tab.
5.     Then click the My Account tab.
6.     Click on Register a Game.
7.     Enter the product code for the expansion pack or stuff pack.

Redeem Bonus Content for The Sims 3:

Some expansion packs come with bonus content for players who register their game online. The most common bonus content is where The Sims 3 (base game) and World Adventures will each grant 1,000 Simpoints to a registered player’s account.

These are 16 digits codes for bonus content. If your code is a 20 digit code for the base game or an expansion, please see the earlier section of this article. If you do have a 16 digit bonus code to redeem but have not yet registered your game or expansion, you should do so prior to redeeming your bonus code.

1. Go to http://www.thesims3.com and login to your account.
2. Click on the The Store tab in the menu bar at the top of the page.
3. Then click the My Store Account tab.
4. Click on the Green "+" icon sign across from Redeem a Code to expand that section, if it's not expanded already.
5. Enter your 16 digit code for your bonus content.
6. Accept the Digital Services Agreement and the Privacy Policy.
7. Click the green Redeem button.
