The Sims™ 3

The Sims™ 3

Can't register sims 3 account
I bought Roaring heights through the EA app and noticed it didn't download. When I looked on this forum I saw you need to somehow activate it through the sims 3 store, however when I try to loggin using my EA account it doesn't work. So I tried to make a Sims 3 account which is apparently different (?!) but https://www.thesims3.com/ is offlne... it says 403 Forbidden... Anybody know how I can get out of this hell loop?

every time you try it will just say invalid code now on the ea site i would enter just add the packs you bought because for some reason it wont recognize the code for the base game but it will add it when you add a pack
I tried that, both in the app and on the EA site I get this: We're sorry, this code cannot be redeemed here. Please redeem your code at the following site: https://store.thesims3.com/myAccount.html. FAQ

For me the entire website is down. The only thing it says is ''Forbidden'' on it...

I'm not sure I understand your comment. How do I ''just add the pack''?

every expansion pack you buy comes with a CD Key for the game enter the cd key that comes with expansion pack you bought when you try to add the base game code to your account it will say that the code was already used thats what it said when i tried but when i added the an expansion pack it also added the base game
I am not trying to get the basegame. That worked just fine. I got Roaring Heights and for that it is trying to force me to go to the above mentioned site, which does not work.

Where do you mean to add the expansion pack?

Yup, I redeemed it there and through the app, result: We're sorry, this code cannot be redeemed here. Please redeem your code at the following site: https://store.thesims3.com/myAccount.html. FAQ
Also been trying to launch a ticket with EA but their website seems to have the ever spinning loading icon... so I feel like EA just stole my money :(
