the way it works is the origin account and the sims 3 account use the same email and password which then ties your code to that account but since you made an other account your getting the code is used message so you need to contact CS so they can assist  with mergeing your accounts

@ mralcap  yes log into your origin account then to find your game code try this to find the game code log into your origin account right click the game icon-show game details your code should be there  make a note of your code have pen and paper handy

but if you then you  want to download the digital version of the game  if you have a disk version of the game you lost your code for that you'll need to uninstall the disk version before downloading the digital version of the game

 

  edi to add if you do decide to download the digital version please take note of this if you get a DLC alert to be able to install the download version without reinstalling despite that message, do not click on the download button in origin click on the “i” (information) button  this will open another window that also has a download button click on that to install

I have lost the booklet witht he serial code on, and cannot acess the account that I used to put my ep on. I also do not want to email them because it could take forever for a reply, and I cannot contact customer support via phone call because they are only open Monday-Friday and it's a Saturday. I don't want to wait either, so what do I do?

Hi, i want to asked you about my SIms 3 disc. I lost my sims 3 disc the base one but i still have the cd box and code. When i buy katy perry expansion pack i just used the katy perry disc to play because it already connect to the sims 3. and few weeks ago i buy World adventures expansion pack but when i click the World adventure it always open in katy perry edition so i quit & quit again and still like that so i decided to delete the katy perry. and try to open the World adventure again, and it cannot be open and also cannot open to the sims 3. ( i think it because i delete katy perry ) so it have to download the sims 3 again but the problem is i lost my cd,.

@anggialarasati the Katy Perry one is your newest installed released game they combine for playing world adventures is older than the Katy Perry one so your game plays from the Katy Perry one also if your lost your original game disk then see this
