They have closed the Origin store. It is no longer possible to buy Simspoints through Origin.

Re: what happened to simpoints?? 2022

@NatalieQuay  EA has taken origin.com offline, but the Origin app still works and still sells points.  I'm looking at the store page right now, which I found by searching for "simpoints" in Origin, and I can get far enough for Origin to ask me for my credit card info.

@EA_Cade When will it be fixed?

Re: Can't Buy SimPoints on Store.TheSims3.com?

@KerriBomb  You can buy SimPoints now, without waiting for a fix.  In the EA App, open your game library, click on the Sims 3 icon, then click the DLC button, and you should see an entry for Currency at the top of the list.  Click that, and you'll be on the SimPoints product page.  In Origin, just search the store for "simpoints" without quotes.

@NatalieQuay  Origin software is still installed for Steam players (TS4/Mass Effect LE), you can get Simpoints from it.

well that sucks, I was saving until my birthday to buy some of the last sets I hadn't gotten yet and then when I went to get SimPoints it just re-directed me to the EA page for buying games, but I will try going through the Origin app on my desktop to buy some SimPoints and if that doesn't work I will try the EA app.

 

Well I just tried to open the Origin app that came with my sims 3 games and I logged in and it kept telling I had to be online to log in-which I was, but it wouldn't let me log in, so I'm trying the latest version to see if that will work

 

**Just another update, in order to get SimPoints I had to download the new EA App and when you run it and click installed games-The sims 3 and scroll down, there is an option to purchase the Sims 3 currency, which will allow you to buy SimPoints, and I was able to get them that way.
