Physical or digital copy?
Hey everyone! So i recently bought the Sims 4 base game and now i'm interested in buying a few expansion packs! The problem here is that my computer does not have a cd drive so i had to borrow a port...

In addition to what @mcsupersport said, for most Sims 4 packs you will not get a CD even if you buy the game in a physical form. You'll just get the box with a paper and a code in it. For the smaller packs like Stuff packs I do not even think you can buy the box&code version, only if you get them in a bundle 🙂

Community AdminYep, in some regions discs are becoming more and more rare, and I know a lot of folks (including me) who haven't had an installed CD drive in years.
If you like boxes, just grab the code out of the box and pop it onto your display shelf, and download the game. 🙂
@EA_David don't worry. MS rendered a lot of our original CD's useless when they've blocked the old SecuROM, Safedisc, StarForce and Tages protections. And they still refuse to offer us a way to play our paid games. To add insult to injury, they've suggested to buy them on GOG, if they are available there, or use cracks, if not. Because we bought them to use a pirated copy, not the originals...MS....Saving PC gaming over and over again...If there is a company that i loathe, that might be the one. They seem to be completely out of touch with what their users want. Forced upgrades, cut features, promoting piracy (seriously?!), adding unwanted stuff to an already bloated software and gifving us no choice to decide if we want/need that stuff on our PC's or not.
So, yeah. We use digital releases, as we have no other choice. Pay again for already owned games. IF they are available in a digital format.
- Can I use 1 game in both of my PC and laptop?
Yes! Activate the game on your Origin account ans then log in to the same account on both your computers. Then you can play both at home and on the go!
Some games have cloud save, which means that the save files sync between computers if you have internet. This is not the case for the Sims though, so if you like the post author wants to play the sims, you need to have 2 different save files, or move them manually between your computers 🙂
