How do I buy SimPoints?

[puzzlezaddict]

@BylineBelife  I've merged your post with the master thread for this topic.  Open the EA App's game library, click on the Sims 3 icon, click DLC, and "Sims 3 Currency," which refers to SimPoints, should be the first listing.

@puzzlezaddict Oh, huge thank you. I slowly started to think that EA slowly have started to discontinue Sims3 and that removing SimPoints was the first step, as that is something they would do. Now I can buy Midnight Hollow. I almost had enough points, but decided to buy the remaining points because I want to explore that world.

When I go on the EA app and click Sims 3 currency, it says I've already purchased this add-on. I used to buy through Origin, but now the EA app won't let me use Origin.

Hi @LadyTex213,

So sorry for the delay. We had an issue preventing purchases yesterday that should now be resolved, are you still seeing this now?

For me, there is no add-on for the sims 3 saying "sims3 currency" though

@OMGStap  What's the first entry when you click Add-ons?  Please take a screenshot without scrolling down at all.

Hi Everyone,

Right now The Sims 3 store's "Buy SimPoints" button is directing you to the EA website. If you hard time figuring out where to buy Simpoints instead like I did, I want to be of some help.

You'll have to go to the EA app on PC. From there you'll search "Sims 3 Currency" and that's where you can buy Simpoints. 

Hope this helps!

Hey! Just wanted to say thank you soooooooooooo much!

I spent all of yesterday mourning the sims3 after I had tried so many different ways to buy simpoints, and nothing had worked. (I was in mourning cause I thought I had permanantly screwed up my game because of how many times I had uninstalled and reinstalled different versions of origin and the EA app trying to get something to work. At one point I didn't have either EA app or Origin installed so my brain catastrophized. I somehow thought I had broken my save files. XD I know it makes no sense, but my computer know-how is extremely limited given how much time I spend on it.)

Anyway, point was: Thank you so much; after all that searching for articles on various sites, unistallations, etc, who knew it was as simple as just typing 'currency' into the EA App search bar and then clicking 'show all 19 results'! Clearly you did lol. Thanks again, and I hope you have a great day, I know you made mine a hell of a lot brighter!

If you need any ideas on obscure and needlessly complicated ways to kill sims, or anything else -not too I.T. related,- let me know! :3

Sincerely,
