Re: Can expansion packs on disc be added to the Sims 3 base game that was downloaded (through Origin)?

Yes, you can mix the disc version with the Origin version. You could also just redeem the code you get with the DVD on Origin and get the download version. So with the DVD you get both, DVD version and download one.

Only thing the DVD version doesn't work with is the steam version.

    Seriously? The Origin version has that crappy overlay that makes my games really laggy! That's almost dumb. Thanks EA, for doing that. Really appreciate it.

    baolin21- My game was laggy but I changed every graphic quality option to low (besides the graphic quality of the Sims) and it rarely ever froze or lagged again. And it really didn't change the look of the game. I wouldn't blame Origin because it also depends on the computer and its graphic card, etc.
