Re: Can you play the sims 3 without the disc?

Yes.

Download the Origin client and input your registration code to add it to your games (if it was not an Origin purchase).  If it was an Origin Purchase your game will be there.  You will need to uninstall the physical disc copy of the game you have installed on your computer and install the game from the Origin client as a digital download.  For more info see this article: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Lost-and-broken-DVDs-and-missing-serial-codes-What-to-do/td-...

Hope this makes sense.  Best of luck.

    When I redeem the product code within the Origin client, it tells me that the code has already been used.

    Does the game already show up in your myGames on the client ? If you've registetred you don't have to redeem the code again.

    @Nysha93 I have several ep's with the physical disc but I redeem the code in Origin that comes with the disc and get the digital download. If the game is at version 1.69 the DRM of SafeDisc is disabled and/or removed and you don't require a disk to play.
