SIMS 3 WONT REGISTER ACCOUNT

★★★ Newbie

So i've had the sims 3 for almost a year, and unfortunately cannot purchase any new content for it, because it will not create a sims 3 website account with my code that came with the direct digital download from origin. It says that when you directly download it through origin, it automatically registers your product to the origin account. But because it did this, it will not let me create a sims 3 account with this code, because it is already registered (to my origin account, which launches the sims 3 game) 

What do i need to do to be able to register this code to a sims account, so i can download new content for it?
It will not let me sign in with my origin account, it is a separate account.

Thank you anyone for any help you can give, i have been so frusterated i stopped playing the game numerous times because of this Frown

Thank  you!!!!!!!! <3

first log into your origin try the reload my games in your origin account or check the my games tab to see if the game is the hide my games if it's there then unhide

I have the same problem. And I have been sitting waiting for an adviser at least an hour and a half. Will I ever get my Cow Plant?  This is a widespread issue, and has been so for a good while.  It  shouldn't be hard for them to fix it, but I guess with sims 4, they may be occupied.   Frown  This has been going on for MOOONTHS. Maybe longer.
