Sims 2 Disks = No Origin?
I'm still very happy with 3, but I like 2 as well. Uninstalled Sims 4 from the pc so I no longer need nor want Origin...but would I need it to play even if I bought the disks from ebay?

Plus- I use the UC and have bypassed their launch of Origin with their newest update. I don't need origin to open unless I want it. "Nikoa;c-16353647" wrote:
The only reason you would need Origin to play Sims 2 is if you have the Complete Collection EA was giving out a couple of years ago. Otherwise you should be able to install the game from the disk and play.
Yep, I have the Compete Collection on the laptop, Origin is already so big and clunky, now it seems to update every other time I open the game!"Rflong7;c-16353671" wrote:

:D Isn't that usually how it goes? It might have taken me a while to remember this snippet if I wasn't forced to do it again after years of not thinking about it. My hard drive was 8 yrs old before it gave it's life for me - that's the last time I dealt with this."Anmirla;c-16353695" wrote:

Forced? I don't recall holding a gun to your head and making you reply to this thread."MadIris;c-16353879" wrote:

Uhh...you have misread that. I was forced to have to remember to bypass the launcher after my hard drive crashed last month. :/
I had to reinstall and start over again because I lost everything! Well, that's not completely true because I had my downloads and other game files saved to a flashdrive as a matter of habit. 900gigs of data - gone! I still had to reinstall and make all my adjustments.
To clarify: I may not have remembered this at first if I had not had to do it for myself just a few weeks ago.- Oh, ok. The last time I ventured out of the Sims 3 forum I was met with snarkiness so... Sorry 'bout that.
