I have the exact same problem. I have tried everything. I went to the store where I bought it, they said go to the EA website.  I went to the website, they just keep giving instructions on HOW to register your product, not what to do if it says it is invalid. It is a new game, the code is easy to read (I have tried a dozen times and very carefully made sure it was entered correctly). Some of the answers I got on the internet included using codes they provided, which sounded sketchy to me and I am not willing to try something that may be illegal. My game is very limited without the serial key and I would like to be able to play the full game which I paid a lot for. I wish I could get an answer to how to make my "invalid" new key work!

So you bought the disc version ?

 

Then only EA Customer Support can help you. We're Users here like you.

 

They can be found here: https://help.ea.com/contact-us

Choose a category, a game and a platform for the contact options to show up.

If live chat is gray, change your country to US and make sure you're on US Business hours. It might also gray because they're very busy. Try later.

See this post if you have trouble with the site: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2012/10/how-to-contact-ea.html
