@puzzlezaddict Thanks for the info!
What do you mean by this?
This has the added advantage of allowing people who don't play through Origin to still buy worlds and install them like everyone else.
Even if you purchase your worlds through discs, the box cover will literally say that the product requires Origin, as that is the case of all Origin games. You can install the expansion pack directly from disc or register the code in Origin. If you register the code in Origin, then you will be able to download and install the digital copy.
I'm not sure what you mean by "people who don't play through Origin". To my knowledge, once you close The Sims 3 game, you will see the Origin window. Apparently, you must also have Internet access, because the computer will first load Origin, then your game. If you drop the Internet connection, then you will be directed to a page on the Origin window, saying that you are not connected. The Sims 2 was made way before Origin arrived, so it was a straightforward insert-the-disc-in-and-play.
