We'd then be able to get Town Life stuff pack (assuming we don't already have it). So it seems like, for the current price of $5, we can move Sims 3 and all its DLC over to Origin. And I was able to "buy" (for free) the Town Life stuff pack from Origin. I was, however, able to register Showtime with Origin. *** NOTE: I'm assuming that we need to purchase the Origin version of Sims 3 even if we own the Steam version, because when I tried to register Sims 3 with Origin (using the "CD Key" provided by Steam), Origin said my key was invalid.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO PLAY SIMS 4 WITHOUT ORIGIN INSTALL
So, in order to use any of the non-Steam Sims 3 content, we need to migrate our Sims 3 licenses from Steam to Origin.ġ) register all Steam-purchased Sims 3 DLC on OriginĢ) uninstall Steam version of Sims 3 (and all its DLC)ģ) purchase Sims 3 on Origin (currently $5) ***Ĥ) install Origin version of Sims 3 (and all the DLC) It's tempting to go buy a bunch of Sims 3 stuff on Origin right now, but of course there is a catch: Sims 3 content from Origin (or Amazon or another retailer) will not work on the Steam version of Sims 3. And then there's the promise of "Exclusive Bonus Content", which I guess is a bunch of little things that are in the Origin versions of DLCs but not the Steam DLCs. Origin also has some bundles (Starter Pack, Expansion Bundle, Worlds Bundle) which appear to be a better bargain than Steam's Sims 3 offerings, even during sales. However, like everyone else, I notice that Origin is having their own 50% anniversary sale, and are giving away a stuff pack (Town Life) for free.

I've been playing it a lot recently and was hoping to pick up some expansion packs during the upcoming Spring sale. I bought Sims 3 (along with Showtime) on Steam last year.
