I had to make anew origin account because I forgot my password. so I made a new origin account but I cant reinstall sims 4. what can I do?

[BriannaMonai1]

I lost my yahoo account password & now i can't even retrieve my origin account password.. I tried my best to get my email account back but it wont let me change my number there sending me a verification code to an old cell number of mine that no longer exists. YAHOO should be more caring they even took off there number so you can't contact them anymore. I have many accounts assigned to that email! There unbelievable!! I get a robot basically to help me out now.. It's called yahoo helper no way of contacting a live person if in need of assistance these days & all that does is give you a complete run around! most defiantly switching over to Gmail or AOL.  I bought the game When it first came out! the special edition & it's barley been played for my old computer wasn't too compatible & needed a better graphics card. I came to buy a whole new computer for this game & created a whole new email! now i have no way of playing it. UPSETTING!! I wish someone could just help me out. I really dont have the money to purchase a game i already BOUGHT. I've been buying sims games since day one. I could prove that i'm a faithful fan and this is my game. PLEASE BE ABLE TO HELP! I know when you first sign up for origins they give you a security question... but it just sends a verification code to my email..too bad instead of this whole email thing i cant just have that be one of my options so i can change my password. This has been a lot of money for me & I needed the internet back on just to download origins & no dice. This game has been a curse & a blessing. This moment curse... It's becoming expensive & unfair. Sorry if i sound like a witch right now, but its been a really long long  stressful situation for me. hours just trying to recover my own thing. It's annoying..

Are you on PC or Mac ?
