Hi fello gamers I took your advice and copied zipped files to where you said and extracted them there, how do I now play it? There seems to be no exe file to press or anything... I am not comp savvy as you can tell but have no internet useage really so need from disk also how do you get the extra updates in there like all the patch files? cheers

1. Start your own thread.. lol. This one is ancient.
2. Tell us what stage of the install you are on. Have you installed before or just trying to install from disc the first time?
3. In the least, you'll need an internet connection to download the patches.
There are currently 10 of them, which include the expansion, all of the DLC and online/offline play.
That's insane you should just by the game online through origin then why even sell a hard copy in stores wow!!!!
I agree. My son and I enjoyed SimCity 4 a lot. I upraded to Windows 10 and it wouldn't work. So we bought the newest SimCity offered at WalMart. We inserted the disk, clicked install, and the only thing that happened was an Origin Window opened up. From there it appeared we could only buy games, etc. We wondered were the game was we bought? It was nowhere to be found. We went into file explorer, tried to open the Zip file and....I could tell you all the step we tried to take, but the point is it didn't open anywhere. One should be able to just insert the disk, follow on screen instructions, and within minutes, be able to play the game I paid for. Done. That's it! That is not possible, and so my son and I have a very negative view of EA, Origin, etc. because of this non-user friendly business. I'll not get my 20 bucks back, and frankly I don't care because I don't want to spend another second on this.
DICE TeamIf you want to install your game using a disc make sure that your game is registered first. After that, follow our instructions to start the disc installation--if you run into troubles, please select Go Offline from the Origin menu. If the disc won't read, try a clean boot.
If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Why the need for a hard copy of Simcity 5? If yuor computer crashes, you'll have to keep paying for those digital dl. And Windows 10 has crashes.
DICE TeamThe game will be registered to your account. This means that as long as you're not charged for internet data, just login to the same account details and you will always be able to download the game. No matter how often your system crashes.
