How to play The Sims 3 through Origin

I recently bought a new laptop that doesn't have a disk drive, so I cannot insert my disk anywhere. So I was wondering is there a way to still play my Sims game by registering through Origin or something? Anything at all please and thank you! 🙂

    Did you register your game on the Sims 3 website? If not, read here how to do that:

    After you have registered your game and the EPs and SPs you have there, please download and install the Origin client from here:

    www.origin.com/download

    Log into the Origin client with the same account (= email and password) that you used for the Sims 3 website. The game, expansions, and stuff packs will show up there like this:

    Now you just double-click on your game and it starts to download and install. After you have installed your game, you can start downloading and installing your EPs and SPs.
