My computer broke and my Sims 3 Game was still installed, can I still transfer it to another computer?

★★ Novice

My computer broke and I didn't have a chance to install my sims 3 , I just recently got a new computer and I have my Sims 3 game disc and everything but I was wondering if it will  let me re-install it even though I didn't un-install it from my other one?

Absolutely. Just install it on your new computer.

I have this exact problem. I bought Sims 3 starter pack, after a while my computer broke(not because of Sims 3), so i tried to download it to my new computer. But, when i did it told me it had already been used, so it won't let me download it onto another computer. I hope it works for you.

Are you using the same account you originally used to register them?

I also have this problem! Worse thing is that my Sims 3 games don't even appear in the library so I can't just download them either.

Did you register them before ? Were they bought new or used ?

I don't work or have any association with EA. I give advice to the best of my knowledge and cannot be held responsible for any damage done to your computer/game.
Please only contact me via PM when asked to do so.

Hey! I had the same problem fairly recently. It  wouldn't let me re-download sims but when I went through Origin, it did let me play through that. That's the best suggestion I have! <3
