Reinstall The Sims 3 in 2021
Hello everyone. I hope I'm posting this in the right category! If I haven't, please feel free to let me know.
The thing is that I've been thinking about reinstalling all my The Sims 3 games on my new computer. The Sims 4 is so incredibly lacking when it comes to family play, it is ridiculous. I've had thoughts like "In TS3 we had this and this and this", and now I'm here like... Well, what if I just reinstall The Sims 3?
Ideally, I would want TS4 to be just as good as TS3, because I really wanna paly TS4. It's up to date, modern, and is being patched and worked on regularly. I want to enjoy The Sims 4, but right now it's just... It hasn't been giving me what I want since it came out.
So, I unearthed all of my old The Sims 3 expansion packs. I have a huge pile sitting right next to me right now. The problem is that they're all physical copies and my computer doesn't have a CD input thing.
I would like to know if it's possible to install all my old TS3 games on my new computer through Origin. I'm looking at Origin right now and it recognizes that I already own the base game to TS3, as well as a few expansion packs. But it's not all of the ones I own. I own a ton. Also, when I look it seems like all the Sims 3 expansions don't show up? Do the Sims 3 games exist on Origin? Is there any way I can play The Sims 3 with the expansions that I own?
Can I somehow register all my physical Sims 3 copies onto my Origin account to get it to recognize that I own the games, and then download them?
