So.. I bought a lot of the Sims 3 games around Christmas in a gamestore. I installed it on my only laptop (the laptop was almost brand new, but it was not a gaming laptop,) and the computer worked fine in the beginning. I only used my laptop to play Sims, but after a while the computer slowed down and in the end it would not start.
SO, I bought a new computer, but when I tried to install the games again, it says that the code is already used. I use the same account on Origin as on the Sims 3 website, but I just can't install the games again!
Can I only install the game once? (Because many of my friends have used one thesims3-CD on multiple computers?)
Please help, I don't have the budget to buy every game again.. :-(

You shouldn't need the code again at all. You should be able to simply be able to install Origin on the new computer and log in. When you go to the MyGames tab, your games should be there ready to download and install. It shouldn't be asking you for anything.
I just re-read your post. You installed from disks? But, you still should be able to simply put them in, type in the code on the paper when it asks, and install it. I've installed from disks too numerous times. I've never had it on more than 3 or 4 computers at once, but I've had it on God knows how many over the years if you count Sims 2 and 3. The only thing it should prevent you from doing is registering the games on this site again, since it's already done.
What exactly happened before it asked you for a code? Where was it asking you?
