The best thing about The Sims Complete collection as it is now is that you do not have to install Origin to sign on for it.
(you don't even have to register it as that fails every time but still plays).
I have just installed it easily from the CDs on an older Windows 7 laptop which I am now just using to play older games on. I've disabled all wi fi and ethernet connections and it is just bliss to have no updates or interruptions which I got in Windows 10. The game runs beautifully on W7.
My tip is not to throw away all of your old Windows 7 or even XP PCs or laptops. They are still useful.
Even Windows 8.1 is running another Sims 4 install better, with no interruptions, as my backup machine.
