  • Raiden261412​  You'll need to use the EA App to manage your install, as Origin for Windows was sunset a few years ago.  You'll need to have registered the game to your account or be able to do so now; the EA App won't let you play without that.  And if Sims 3 is registered, you can simply download it from your App library without using the discs at all.  This has the advantage of giving you the latest update rather than your needing to try to patch it afterwards.
