Why do I have to download the sims 3 when I bought the CD?
I bought a physical copy with the sims starter pack. I have origin and the EA website all set up. However, my digital download is literally going to take days. I bought a physical copy so that I wouldn't be required to download. Is there a way for me to get it downloaded straight from the disc?

Should be the same for Sims 3. Just do the same for Sims 3 instead of Mass Effect 3.
Let me know if it works.
