Apparently, on the forums, users are reporting that they have yet to receive a 20-digit code for the game, and even after following the instructions, others are reporting that those codes were already used. Very weird stuff.

Mine worked... like the other comments. This is probably an exception.

i got mine. worked fine. is EA sure its not their servers? cause they have been going up and down.

just checked, i got a 16 digit code and entered it through the origin software, worked just fine.

"When installing The Sims 3 via Origin, you will be prompted for a 20-character activation key. This key is provided by Origin upon installation."

Maybe you have to register the code on the Origin website itself.

At the very least, it's easier to do that than to use the one build into the app.

Mine worked fine. Perhaps because EA's crappy origin servers were getting hammered from people trying to redeem the games.

Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....

This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.

Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
