Origin wont let me install!

[ivy321]

I have bought the Sims 3 and lots of expansions through steam and installed them on my pc, I then wanted to buy the new supernatural game but it wasn’t available on steam so I bought it on origin. I downloaded it and when I went to install, it tells me I can’t because I don’t have the Sims 3, when I do. So are you really going to tell me that the only way I can play the Sims 3 is to uninstall it all, redeem all of my product codes, and download the game and all of the add-ons through origin? Which will take me more time then I really want to be spending installing a game that’s already on my pc?  Please tell me you have a more simple solution for me!

This is not the first time I have had a problem installing a game with origin. I requested help a while back because battlefield 3 wouldn’t install, and got very little help and I have yet to be able to play that either!

It's the only way. The Steam and the Origin version arent' really compatible.

dont worry i wont shoot the messanger lol but i am livid! steam is now selling the game! i just uninstalled the sims 3 and started redownloading them through origin, wich takes a realy long time because i dont have the best internet and i can only download between 10 pm and 10 am or my internet gets capped.
