(Sale ends on January 11th, 2022) But wait, I want to play The Sims 3 on Mac and/or via Origin?ĭon’t worry! Steam allows you to request a serial code from every single pack you’ve purchased and redeem it on Origin.

You won’t be able to transfer over The Sims 3 Base Game from Steam to Origin, only the Packs, so I recommend getting The Sims 3 Starter Pack on Origin (in case you don’t have it already) which is currently on sale for 20$. NOTE: You will need The Sims 3 Base Game, which is not included in The Sims 3 Packs Collection. This special Steam offer ends on January 5th, 2022 at 10AM Pacific Time. However, that pack was a limited-time Pack that was only available for purchase from July 2012 to July 2013 – after which it was discontinued. Unfortunately the only Pack missing is everone’s favorite The Sims 3 Katy Perry’s Sweet Treats.
