The Sims 3 not support SecuROM?

I bought the digital version of the game "The Sims 3" and after downloading and installing the Origin, the game requires the game disc in the main menu of the game. Why does not validate the game over SecuROM, as well as on Steam, where the digital version of the game does not require a game disc.

  • It doesn't require a disc when you buy the download version. It's SecuROM.

    Did you have the disc version installed before ? Do you just have the base game or any expansions as well ?

    I bought the game on Steam shop. Game when I first start to register my EA account and immediately appeared in my Origin tab of the "My Games". Steam announced before installing a warning that the game includes SecuROM. When I uninstalled the game from STEAM and let you download it through Origin, so for me, now requires the game disc. CD-Key game is still the same. Why Steam recognizes digital version of the game, and Origin is not it?
