Hi there @beckys19,
The Sims 2 is no longer available digitally through Origin for purchase- if you do not already own The Ultimate Collection in Origin, the only way to play is through the disk version.
i just purchased the disk drive for that reason. whenever i go to play it i get told something about the administer on the comp won't let it play. i talked to a microsoft customer service person and he'd told me i needed to download it or it wouldn't play..so i'm not sure what to do. i just wanna play!
@HeyMyNameIsFaith , in regards to installing the game from disks and Securom, there are instructions you have to do a Google search for in regards to installing the game (actually affects everything from Freetime onwards) and how to remove or prevent Securom from installing. You do have to install the disks as an Administrator, but it is doable.
Any other questions on how to install the game, please start a new thread and be as detailed as possible on what happens, what errors you are getting and so forth.
