i think they are trying to fix the "date night dlc" problem (was advertised, but no one could redeem it)...so now they are giving keys only for what is advertised on humble bundle site...
i used my key yesterday too, but now i got 3 new key (including the dlc's) and the games are still in my library...
+1 for EA

EDIT: the new keys have 20 digits, not 16 like they had yesterday...
i tried to redeem one key and accepted my key, even though i allready had sims 3 in my account :(
-1 for EA :)

It's because the Sims 3 installation requires a 20 character CD key, but the keys provided by humble bundle from EA were only 16 characters long.
EA have replaced existing keys with the 20 character keys that should have been added for each Sims 3 content in Origin when you redeemed the single 16 character bundle key.

Well there is a Date Night Dlc. Or at least a content named Date Night.

Well on the Humble Bundle key page, it does say, "The Sims 3 Date Night DLC will appear here, after some technical difficulties are sorted out!" I think they're two different DLCs? I'm confused on that.

The problem is that you're missing an activation key for the game.You can download it but you can't install it.

wait....what? i don't get it...what activation key are you missing? cause you get 3 keys to activate 3 different "things": sims 3 base game and 2 dlcs....
can you please be more specific?

I just found out that not everyone had this issue.

Anyway,many people had the problem that they were missing the 20 digit code which was needed for the installation oif the base game.

Comment has been collapsed.

Yeah, it was actually a 16 digit code instead of 20 digit one. It was a bug and I asked the support and they gave me new, 20 digit serial number :)

That's how it should have been
But a lot of people, including myself, didn't get a 20 digit key on the details page

When I redeemed the keys the first day the same happened to me. The next day I checked and they were showing fine, so I guess it can take some time to show up.

I don't get it, I redeemed the single key 2 days ago, and I do see that there are now 3 keys but does this affect me in any way?

only in the way that you now have 3 more keys (one for the base game and 2 for dlcs) to redeem on another account (or give away)...

I've redeem it on origin and able to install and play it(dlc). I already have The sim 3 and back it up on origin before this bundle came but I cannot redeem it on the website and the dlc remain gray in my games page. Anyone with the same problem?

p/s: is it needed to register on website? what's it advantage?

I had trouble with my key, since I used their first redeem method (which locked my key). When I contacted their support, they generated 3 keys to me. Other people had other problems and their solution was the same. Probably something internal..

I was wondering... for people who own The Sims 3 on Steam. It may be possible to get the DLC on your Steam version because the game still makes you login with your thesims3.com/EA/Origin account right?

Could anyone who owns The Sims 3 on Steam and bought the Origin Bundle BTA test this?

Nope, it wont work. The DLC wont install if your The Sim 3 is steam version

Well, I gave the original "all-in-one" Starter Pack key to my girlfriend. The following day I got 3 separate keys so I activated them myself. Now I've got The Sims 3 with some DLCs on my Origin, but still - as some others say - having them greyed out on The Sims 3 account page. I can play TS3 just fine, but having these greyed out feels weirdly "incomplete" to me. God I hope this "resyncs" somehow and they show up eventually.

Can anyone confirm whether these keys acts as 2 separate activations or not? (the "greyed out" icons mentioned above makes me doubt that this is the case).
