steam will not work with origin or disks if you buy the disk from amazon wal mart target asda doesn't matter where you buy those from you can install and play from the disk if you buy island paradise as a digital download from origin it will then show up in your my games tab to download and play if you buy the disk version from origin it will be shipped to your address
So if I understand correctly, you're saying that my Origin version of the game will only work with expansion packs purchased through Origin?
you can use your origin and expansion packs disk version bought in stores or disk version from amazon or digital download, just orign or disks will not work with steam
then how can anyone fix that problem? I got my disk version as a Christmas present from a friend. I already had the pets, seasons, and generations downloaded from steam, but obviously, I can't just install the expansion pack from the disk when I downloaded the sims 3 from steam. I don't want to waste my friends' money, so how can I possibly make everything work?
