Good luck with that. I have the disk version and just updated my whole pc - so I tried to install it using the disk but when it got to asking the code - I put it in and it said that code was already used. It gave me no choice but click on the one in my library at origin that then installed the digital version. When they say that code is one time only - they mean one time period apparently.

Then once the game was installed and they update it - then you click on the info on the game and it opens up a panel with all the games made thus far for Sims 4 - if it has a plus on it - it means you have not bought that yet - don't click it or it will allow you to buy it - the ones you own already you click and it installs each one - it did not accept any other disk. I just went through this in the last 2 weeks.


I also have Sims 2 and Sims 3 and they installed the same exact way - and would not use the disks and code. Origin turned all my Sims into digital.

did you have origin installed before adding the discs and were you logged in?

in theory the disc should work for more than one computer @marioXtremo if my guess doesnt help do contact customer service and ask them the official steps. Ea/origin can act like you need the digital file but the disc should work and it should work on more than one computer using the same origin acct. sorry i just dont have the ability to test it myself.
