Playing at the same time

Soooo....
I have two smaller sisters:twins, they want The Sims 3 for birthday, my question is quite simple, do I need to buy a copy of the game for each, or can I buy one game, install it on two computers and have them playing at the same time? 
-Also should I buy the game/games via my origin account, or make one/two account for them two use. (Say I wanna play BF3 while they play the sims)

    You can only have Origin open on one computer.  If you are signed into it, you can't use another computer at the same time.

    Yea definitely! I know for a fact that more than one person can playing using the same game. On separate somputers but I would think only with the download and not the disk. Cause they would need the disk in both computers to play which is impossible to do at the same time..

    But one install on two. The only thing is it can only be registered to one account, so I would have the share the same origin account.

    Are you all sharing a laptop? Or have separate laptops? If you all have separate laptops then of course you can play the games at the same time on separate laptops 🙂

    Seperate laptops 🙂
    So basicly there is nothing keeping them from playing at the same time, logging in, using the same account, on different laptops?
    Cut out:
    I can buy one game, install it on two computers, play the same game, at the same time, on the two computers? 🙂
    -Thanks btw for the fast reply! :D
