@Scarlett313 Did you at any point register the Sims 3 base game on Origin or on http://www.thesims3.com/? If you did then you wouldn't need to purchase a new copy of the game and you should be able to download the game from Origin. 

 

Also if you have your expansions/packs registered those can be download from Origin as well, just right click the Sims 3 base game tile in Origin client and select 'View game details'.

 

Let us know how you get on!
