That is exactly what it does to me. Origin has taken over the while damn game! SICK of it, and getting NO HELP from them!
@micheleg1 The big issue is your operating system. Both Windows and OS X no longer support the DRM of SecuROM. In 2012 the DRM for Sims 3 became Origin. The Sims 3 was released with SecuROM and SafeDisc. The good news is there is no longer an install limit and you no longer require a disc in the optical drive to play once you get the game in Origin. Much like Steam, Origin is required to use the game. At the very, very least you need to activate The Sime 3 in Origin. As the disc version contains SecuROM it is easier to install using the digital download version through Origin. There are so many public internet access you should not have any trouble finding the internet. The public library is a good place to start. When I'm on a work site I tether my cell phone to my laptop - it is not fast but when you need technical information it's faster then driving back to the shop. Origin is DRM much like Valve's Steam. There is no DRM in The sims 3 as the DRM is now Origin. The right to use this software is no longer controlled by software embedded in the software but an account that allows you to use the software. I don't see what the issue is as Steam seems to be extremely popular and Origin has principles very much like Steam. The days of Shareware are gone. Today's games are no longer created in garages and taverns (boy do I miss those days). Games are no longer created in a group of user's spare time. Things really changed when John Carmack created id Software and the Doom game engine. This shortened the game development time and when companies invested money in the game engine people were paid to develop a story line and art work much like a movie. Time became important as return of investment became important. It's called progress. If you don't like Origin you probably don't like console games. My PS3 console worked for over a year and all of a sudden none of my games would play until I registered the PS3 console when the PS4 console came out. I'm waiting for Microsoft to pull the plug on the Xbox 360. What kind of help are you looking for? Who are them?
