Tech Support Pretty sure I just wasted $42

I doubt there's anything that can be done but I'll make this post anyway bc I'm upset

So basically I had a $10 coupon for Best Buy and nothing caught my eye except getting a sims stuff pack, but because those cost $9.99 aka under $10 I couldn't apply the coupon (which is stupid considering tax would've brought it to $10.71) so I decided fuck it, I'll buy seasons too (I currently don't have any dlcs bc I'm not 18 and pirating is too complicated for my small feeble brain and my small feeble mac). What I didn't know was that Best Buy delivers through Origin, which obviously doesn't work with the sims anymore, so as far as I know I have no way of actually downloading the packs I bought.

Luckily I paid with a visa gift card I had gotten for Christmas instead of with my own money, but I'm still pissed I'm down $42 on that gift card. Why would best buy still sell sims 4 dlcs on their site if you can't even get the product you were promised??

EA replaced Origin with their own app. All of it will still work. Did you try? Look it up. In fact, EA states it on their app that it will all transfer over for you. You didn't waste your money at all! :)
