Can't apply game code for Sims3 here because I used it for Origin before.

Hello,

I want to be able to play without CD so I registred on Origin and applied the game code there. Only then I found out that I should have used it on www.sims3.com first because now the game code appears to be invalid. Can anyone help please?

You're talking about the base game?

If you use the same log in credentails, then the game will automatically register on your Sims 3 account

For downloading purposes, you do want to register on Origin as you download it there. 

Make sure to manually uninstall the Sims 3 base game: https://help.ea.com/article/manually-uninstalling-the-sims-3 Assuming you have expansion packs, you'll need to manually ONLY the latest one manually (merely type in google: manually uninstalling sims 3 x) and then download it via Origin. 

Here's a list of the games in order: http://help.ea.com/za/article/the-sims-3-installation-order/

Now, say you're using the Seasons game disc for example, this would be the procedure:

• make sure all your games are registered on Origin and you have Origin client downloaded onto your PC/MAC ( http://origin.com/download )
• manually uninstall Seasons (follow as said above for instructions)
• open Origin and find Seasons and download it - then you can play without the use of a disc

I hope that helps and everything goes well mileyhappy:
