I have decided that every time I encounter a problem with EA/Origin/anything related to Sims, and finally found a solution to it, I will post it on my blog so that I can help others too.
I should probably create a new blog that's call the Sims or something but I'm too lazy! Hehehe.
So, anyway, I had a problem trying to get the bonus simpoints that you're supposed to get if you buy the base game and/or World Adventures - 1000 simpoints EACH.
And I never knew about it. Sigh... My cousin gifted me with the Sims 3 base game and I had registered it with Origin. And World Adventures was bought via Origin. I didn't get the chance to register it on the Sims 3 Store, so I couldn't get the 1000 simpoints. The button to redeem the points was not there.
Soooo...
If you bought the Sims 3 base game and/or World Adventures via Origin, or redeemed the game via Origin, read on.
