You might’ve left the game running in the background or something, try opening your task manager and look for Sims 3 Launcher, click on it and then end task, now try opening it again! Hope this helps those of you who had this problem!
Why can I not play Sims on Origin?
Re: Won’t let me play the sims 4 Sometimes this can be caused by corrupted local data and these need to be deleted. Please open this folder: C:\ProgramData\Origin\Llocal Data)\The Sims 4 and delete the content. After that the game should become active in Origin again and you should be able to click on Play again.
Do you have to register Sims 3 on origin?
If you purchased a digital version of The Sims 3 (base game, expansion pack, or stuff pack) from Origin, your game is automatically registered to your account. You do not need to re-register your serial code with TheSims3.com.
Do you have to install the Sims 3 first?
Always install The Sims 3 base game before installing any expansions, stuff packs, worlds or store content. Anything you buy through Origin is added to your download queue. If you need to reinstall something, or something you’ve bought does not download automatically, find it in the Origin client and click Download.
Where do you get codes for the Sims 3?
You’ll need to register these on The Sims 3 website, or redeem your codes for them in Origin. Go to thesims3.com: If you already have an EA Account, click Login and log in to your account. If you don’t already have an account, click Create an account and follow the instructions on-screen to register.
What’s the latest version of the Sims 3?
When you’re done, use the super-patcher to update your game to the latest version (Version number 1.67.62). You should always launch The Sims 3 using the disc for the most recent game expansion or stuff pack you have installed, and you will need to use your disc every time you play.
Is it possible to UN-register your Sims 3 game?
I bought mine used and was told I would need to buy a new game in order to play, meaning the one I already bought is unusable. Because the game is installed through Origin it is not possible for the previous user to un-register the code and pass it on. They are one time use codes now. That’s ridiculous.
Can you register your serial code on Sims 3?
I bought my sims 3 game used, and I can’t register my Serial Code? So, I bought my Sims 3 disc used, from either amazon or ebay, and whenever I try to register my Serial code, it’s say it’s invalid. It let me download the launcher fine, but at the sims.com, it won’t allow me.
Can you play Sims 3 if you bought it second hand?
Thank you. Re: I bought my sims 3 game used, and I can’t register my Serial Code? You can’t register a game that has already been registered (and chances are high that this is the case if you bought it second hand). If it’s the older version, you should still be able to play though, just not register.
Can you register a game that has already been registered?
You can’t register a game that has already been registered (and chances are high that this is the case if you bought it second hand). If it’s the older version, you should still be able to play though, just not register. I don’t work or have any association with EA.
