Already bought expansions but the latest macbook pro's do not have a disc drive

Hi, I recently got a Macbook pro for a joint Christmas and Birthday present and I was keen to play The Sims 3. However the latest macbook pro's do not have a disc drive, meaning I can't insert the discs I already have already bought. I have: 
The Sims 3 
The Sims 3 - Late Night

The Sims 3 - Generations

The Sims 3 - Ambitions

The Sims 3 - World Adventures 
The Sims 3 - Design and High-Tech Stuff
Therefore these all add up price wise and can not really afford to spend more money and buy them all again. I was wondering if there is a way to get the installation screen up and put my codes in? 

Thanks Katie 

  • Hi Katie,

     

    You can always use an external disc drive for your Macbook. 

    In addition the Alpha test for the Mac version of Origin has started. You can download the Origin client for Mac here:

    Your participation in this alpha trial is greatly appreciated, and your feedback will help ensure the best possible experience for all Mac gamers when we officially launch. If you have a Mac running OS X 10.6.8 or newer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better, we hope you’ll download the alpha and start gaming today.

    Have fun testing!
