I had to factory reset my computer. and now ive lost my disc. i have the game on my origin along w/ expansion packs but it wont let me play. i dont know if its because i dont have my disk or what. i know theres the thing where you have to put your disc in for the first time bc thats what i did in 2013 when i first got the game. It keeps saying "no internet connection found please try again later" when i clearly have an internet connection. Someone help!!!!
Hi there @whitee_girlss
If you have lost the disc, you can download the game through Origin.
If your games are not already registered, register them first before doing anything else: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/INFO-How-to-Register-The-Sims-3/m-p/387162
Download the Origin client (you should have it installed already) : http://origin.com/download
Go to your My Games and download the game from there
Also look here for more information: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Steam-VS-Origin-VS-Discs/td-p/3135440
I hope this helps - let me know how it goes 🙂

I am not a Sims expert, but I am pretty sure you cannot play Sims 3 without a disc! If you had Sims 4, you could, because it doesn't require the disc. But Sims 3 disc is required. ☹️
if you registered your disk version of the game/s then in origin your entitled to a digital download and disk versions of the game work with origin digital downloads so they can be mixed
