I even offered to answer security questions, but alas. I contacted the support team, and there was nothing they could do unless I could access some obscure email from years ago. meaning if you lose your account information you're basically crap out of luck and crap out of $50 (original price). Turns out even if you own both discs to install and play the game you still will need to redeem a code, which I had access to, but it can only be redeemed once. Well here I am in the future and lost my account information so I made a new account to play my game. I didnt fully understand the whole origin situation then so I didnt take my username and password seriously. I bought a hardcopy of the sims 4 a few years back. If you didn't buy the Sims franchise all those years ago, EA, I would never use Origin if I could get away with it. That's just one fun example of the joyous ride that is the overly sour Origin platform. Cue endless loop of games never launching. Origin thinks I need my membership reinstated to access the games. Now Steam needs Origin to launch in order to play the games. However, the games that were added with the Membership stayed in my library with a fun notification of "Membership Expired, reinstate to play." Fast forward, I purchased these games on Steam. I own all of the Sims 4 content, save the Digital Deluxe version of the base game. I added some games to my library, played a few of them. I got the membership for 1 year for free through a promotion. This only gets worse when you add in more content, for example The Sims Franchise. The Origin client itself runs very slowly and often encounters problems simply launching, running, saving games. Origin is more like some sort of bleu cheese whose aging went horribly wrong at some point. I wish Origin improved with time like a fine wine.
