[EA Account] Turn on Login Verification & get a free month of Origin Access in November
Return to top
Comments
I only just remembered to check about Origin last night, because I had last minute emergency surgery last week, and for obvious reason, forgot about it. I have now been checking on the little things, because I am going stir crazy nuts, not being allowed to do things I usually do.
I'll just wait for a possible email then, if not, oh well. I was just curious if others were still waiting, since it seemed a bit long of a wait, but it's not a huge deal.

I had two step verification on from the start, so I didn't have to do anything. And there's not that much that I'm even curious about in the vault anyway. So while I am irritated, I don't feel enough like I'm loosing out to go to upset.
Also, I want to confirm that no matter when the free month is added to your account, you will still get a full month. That means that if you get it end of November, the free month will expire end of December, not November 30.
Thank you for letting us know. It was helpful to know the time starts from the activation, and not set to specific month.
(not all offers from companies do that.)
I finally got the email for the Origin Access this morning.
Hi @EA_Mai, is this free month a US-only thing? I'm thinking that could be the reason that some people have received their emails and others haven't. I'm in the UK.
While it may be US only, I'm in the US, and still waiting as of this morning.
Nope, not exclusive for US.
I hope not as I paid a lot of money for my sims games and I wasn't giving the option to decline this promotion.

The games you add to your Game Library from The Vault for free as part of the membership, however, will only be playable while your membership is active.
For example, let’s say you own The Sims 3 with no packs. During your Origin Access free month you upgrade it to play with the Starter pack which includes Late night and High-end loft stuff. Once your membership expires Late night and High-end loft stuff won’t be accesible anymore, but The Sims 3 will still be there.
Thanks for confirming that ^_^

I literally play this music above when playing Sims 4! Cozy and Fuzzy
If for some reason you didn't receive it, please, let us know here (<- read that post by @EA_Tom before posting please).
WHY is Origin asking me to pay for a membership just so I can play a one person game like the Sims 3 when I have never had to pay before? Is this a bug? My EA "Player Control" page says I'm Unlimited but "Origin Access" page says I'm inactive and that it's expired. Like I said before, I have NEVER paid for a membership on Origin, EVER.
Am I not understanding this right? Is Origin saying I have to pay again for my Sims 3 (which I have owned for 7 years) every single month just to play by myself? I didn't buy the Sims 3 just for a limit time use. That is not what the box said when I first purchased the CDs in a store 7 years ago.
I don't get it.
Can someone please tell me that I am wrong and overreacting and clear this confusion up for me? Is this a bug in Origin? And please tell me how I can fix it and get the launcher to stop crashing.
Thank You so very much for taking the time to read this. Any answer will be much appreciated.
YES! EA Help on Facebook helped me to fix it. My game is up and running again! WOOHOO!
After he checked out my account and worked on it on his end for quite a while, he then told me to not only clean out the caches and restart the PC like I usually do but this time to go to...
"Origin game repair and see if that helps. You can do this by going to your game library, right-clicking on The Sims 3 and selecting the repair option."
And that did it! It's finally up and running. YEAH!
I had no idea that repair option even existed. You learn something new everyday. LOL! Wink
Thank you EA Help on Facebook!!! You Rock!
