SIMCITY 2013 - installation from CD failed

Hey

I bought in 2013 the SIMCITY 2013 limited edition and wanted to share this awesome game experience with my kids... so we are trying to install it on a windows 11 PC but we get into troubles when the Origin window pops up asking for us to connect online. Even though I have a valid EA account, it doesn't regonize it... maybe the Origin thing is too old...

How can I install the game on the PC without out having to go online ?

Anyone running into the same issues ? Let me know, thanks you all !!!

    Hello there, 

    I am having an identical issue. I can't find help or support anywhere, and, like yourself, was hoping to share the immense fun with my kids in the upcoming holidays, but sadly, don't think it will be happening. Here's hoping that I won't have to be re-purchasing the base game as well as all the expansions, because it really feels like since the "merger", a lot of my old purchases through the "origin" and physical purchases, no longer work. I'm a massive "The Sims" fan, been in it since the sims 1, over the years through all releases bought Every. Single. Expansion, and stuff pack you can get. In all of the series. No joke. BUT now, all that works, (for now at least) is my sims 4 stuff and nothing else. Everything is valid, and verified, but no go. I wish you luck, and please update if you find a work around. I still have my ancient computer that still runs like a dream, I just might try installing it there, but I don't like my chances.

    Good luck hun
