Sims 3 Ambitions

[midnightgobler]

My wife bought me this add on a from steam few years back I have submitted tickets about me not being able to use this add on because the game is a retail game and steam for some resone will not let me use the key to add it on and my tickets have still gone un Answered. So basicaly there is a $10 purchase just sitting in my inventory that I can not claim amd has been for a coup;e years because steam hasnt addressed this yet can I get a little help?

That's not a Steam key you have there - it's a key for EA's Origin service. If you've been playing the game through Origin then you need DLC that's been bought from Origin - Steam DLC only works with Steam versions of the game.

even though it was baught through steam and is siting in my steam inventory?

DLC from Steam can only be used with the Steam version of the game.

Sorry, edited my post to better reflect your situation.

[midnightgobler]

yes but my wife did not know that and I am not buying a game I already own to use the add on.

Then you're out of luck, sorry. Maybe you can find someone to trade it with.

see at the time steam did not make that clear to the purchaser there had been many people who had the same issue.

The big purple banner on the store page says:
"This content requires the base game The Sims™ 3 on Steam in order to play."

yes I understand that but at the time there was no big purple banner they put that there after other people had this same issue. the reson for the banner is because many others had baught add on to games then found out they could not use them. My wife was one of the many who made that mistake then steam decided they would put the banner at the top.
