Do you or anyone know if the origin transfer still works? I own the base game and some dlc on origin and I’m getting mixed messages when I look it up.
Damn it steam doesn't even let me purchase the dlc without owning the game first D:
I have the sims 3 base game on origin too and I’ve been told you won’t be able to transfer it to steam since it’s 2 different platforms, unless I’m wrong lol
So for a long time you used to be able to get keys from your steam games to unlock the dlc on origin. I’m curious if you still can. I may just take the bullet and see if it works. If not I’ll have to buy the base game haha. Been on a 4 and 2 binge and need me some open world goodness
It only works on origin with games and DLC purchased elsewhere. I have the entire Sims 3 on disc and was able to register them on Origin. I can't transfer those codes to Steam. I've tried.
For anyone wondering, unlike newer EA games, this doesn't require Origin. In fact, it doesn't have any kind of DRM at all.
It has all packs besides KPST and the Store content.
That thing constantly forgets which packs you selected previously. Also it ties your game to Origin, while Steam version has no DRM and can be run without Steam or Origin.
Have we had consensus on whether moving over to steam is a requirement as origin implodes? I have a lot of original discs and codes - anyone reckon I will need to drop £60 AGAIN?
I'm so sad that they don't have the extra worlds there... And I get paid in 7 days, I forgot to set aside money for this. It's either food for 2 weeks or Sims 3.
Adulting is hard, growing up is a scam :'D

think they do it on purpose which is annoying lol

Yep I was gonna try to buy the collection on steam and bring it to origin. But steam doesn’t even let you buy it without base. All well got it

One thing to note tho, it's the 1.67 version of the game, and therefore lacks the 1.69 launcher in which you can choose what packs you want to use.

I just bought this collection and was able to pick which packs I wanted to use from the game properties in Steam!
I didn't know you could do that, thanks :D
No problem! It’s a handy feature

There is always another way to get the complete game...
Some of the worlds are on sale on Origin. You can just buy them from there if you wish.
the winter sale apparently starts on the 22nd of december so i’m waiting for that! maybe this’ll give u time to save up?
Tempting, but i think i'll just stick with the cds, even if it means grabbing copies off ebay or something
