Origin just does not recognise I have it on my computer unfortunately and I would love it to be offered as a download.
I've just been playing the Complete Edition on my Windows 8.1 laptop so it is possible. The problem might be that the oldest separate disks 1, 2 etc. might be even too old for XP?
I had had to buy a new external disk drive as my laptop had no disk drive and USB 3 slots and wouldn't accept the external old USB2 CD drive (no drivers for it). I am playing it in the offered XP mode. The main problem for me was that I had to manually open the CD drive each time to put in the 2,3 and 4th disks as the window wouldn't collapse when new disks were wanted so I couldn't rightclick on the drive to eject each time.
It still takes ages to load and ages to add every neighbourhood and move people in though even with a fast computer and I cannot play it at the resolution I want yet.
