Re: Can I download Origin and The Sims 3 Games without internet?

You apparently never learned the definition of "download", using it as if it's a synonym for "install".  Thus, your subject line is already answering itself.  No, there is no such thing as a "download" without a network.  Having clarified that, I suspect that a hard copy of the Sims 3 that predates the existence of Origin may very well be able to install, the only way to find out, however, is to try, I'd say. 

P. S.  I see that Crinrict has documented the differences in disk-based versions very thoroughly, in two languages, and she is to be commended for the effort she has invested!

    I'm pretty sure you could have said that in a nicer way and no I didn't know the difference between install and download. I guess I wouldn't have asked if I would have known now would I? Considering none of the games that come with discs say you need an internet connection but the ones without the discs do say you need internet connection. It takes like a half hour of trying to download before it even says I can't (happened before when I was having PC issues). So I wanted to ask before just doing it and wasting time.

    that reply did seem a bit rude to the user asking.

    But anyways no you do need an internet connection to download them ;o because you have to access the origin website to download it since you can't just pull it up from your computer :3 be awesome if you could tho!! xD
