Current Price of The Sims 3 in 2024

EA no longer sells The Sims 3 directly on Origin/EA App (delisted 2023). Prices are for **second-hand keys** or **physical copies**:

Digital Keys (Gray Market – Use Caution)

• Base Game Key: $5–$15 (sites like G2A, Eneba, CDKeys).
• Complete Collection (Base + All EPs/SPs): $20–$40.

Physical (Disc)

• Base Game: $10–$20.
• Expansion Packs (Individual): $10–$30 each (Seasons, University pricier).
• Complete Collection Box: $60–$150+ (sealed).

Best Legal Route (2024)

1. Buy a **used Complete Collection disc set** on eBay / Mercari / Local.
2. Install base game → Register each EP code on EA App (adds to library permanently).
3. Download via EA App (no discs needed after registration).

Warning: Avoid "Origin Accounts for sale" (ToS violation, ban risk). Keys from unauthorized resellers may be revoked.
