Uninstall games on origin

★★★ Newbie

i want to give my games to my little sister but i don't want her to have acces to my origin account. i would like to remove sims 3 games from my account and let her install it on hers, they were working before origin came so there shouldn't be a problem i think.

@kurancrossyuki  In 2012 both Windows and OS X no longer support the DRM The Sims 3 was released with. Origin is the replacement DRM. At that time the conditions of the license changed (the thing you agree to the first time you place the game). Once a game is activated to an Origin account there is no way to uninstall from Origin. That code is locked to that account for as long as the user maintains that account. The game will continue to run under the old DRM until you reinstall the game or try to install post 2012 DLC - at that time you will have to update your game to run under Origin.
