If I purchase the PC download version of the Sims 3 (or any expansions), will I be able to download the game onto multiple computers? Is there a limit to how many computers I can download the game onto?

up to 5 computers in your own home when you have your game registered with origin they automatically register it for you on the sims 3 site uset he username and password for both origin and the sims 3 site you then can from your origin account digitally download your games if you download the games onto for example two pc's you won't be able to play at the same time though cause only one given computer can be logged in the origin account at one given time

Thank you for responding. With the 5 computer limit, if for some reason I needed to uninstall then reinstall it, would that count as another computer?

if you need to uninstall and reinstall for any reason you may have to manually uninstall some files and registry keys as sometimes they get left behind and may give an error/reinstall issue ( a just in case you have to bookmark it https://help.ea.com/article/manually-uninstalling-the-sims-3 ) you may also get an licence limit reached message https://help.ea.com/article/origin-lifetime-download-limit-error-message
then you need to contact CS

Choose a category, a game and a platform for the contact options to show up.
If live chat is gray, change your country to US and make sure you're on US Business hours. It might also gray because they're very busy. Try later.
