I have full sets of game disks for TS1, 2, & 3, basegame and something else for 4. I view them as insurance; if something goes pooey, I can always reinstall.
completely agree I have S1 complete disc collection on an old Vista laptop, While I own the full S2 version of the game on disc I am able to play the ultimate collection version on a win 7 hard drive that never touches the internet on a seperate hard drive within my current desktop build but would be prepared to go to the trouble in future of playing my S2 version of the game on disc if necessary if the ultimate version ever becomes unplayable. I have S3 digital version of the game on win 10 hard drive which is completely borked possibly due to a win 10 and/or Origin update so my disc version of the S3 game allows me to play fine on my win 7 hard drive with no problems at all so I would be lost without some disc versions of the game and as I have the choice to specifically build my desktop computer to whatever Sims version version of the game I choose I can still continue to play whichever iteration of the game as I feel like it. (thank god because it's my favorite game ever-)
S4 i do play on my win 10 hard drive from time to time and experience no significant issues with it being a digital game but there is no way I would ever stop finding ways to play past iterations of the game whether in disc or digital versions :)
