I am disappointed because I still have not played it as I ordered a DVD for PC and never got one, but was sent an empty box with a code, from Amazon, they said they will replace it but I think the one they are now sending is still a code? Why could we order a DVD for PC then not get it? Have EA not put out the DVD yet, as I wanted one so that I have it on my shelf with the rest of my Sims collection, and to use in my laptop. I do not think it is right that they keep giving codes to download games that we pay a lot of money for

from what i've heard, from now on they will only have the code in the box. getting a code and redeeming works the same as if you had a physical disc. the boxes are still provided for people who need to buy in store due to not having a credit card to use online, online security risks, and for people who still collect the boxes. so it is normal to not have a disc in the box. hope this helps!

Apparently you have an internet connection, so I'm not sure what the problem is?The latest patch was larger than the download for Cats and Dogs, and I'm sure you managed to download that eventually. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to play the game. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not to mention several laptops nowadays don't even come with an internal CD-ROM anymore. Maybe that's why.Still, I miss the days when we'd be able to play things without having to be connected to the internet first. Would have been nice to play Sims 4 on like, a boring roadtrip or something else that typically doesn't guarantee an accessible wifi connection. Freakin Origin stopped me from doing that this summer. Like??? I paid for this game? You better let me play it when I want to? Ugh.

Yes exactly Magdaleena , I like to have the Disc, as I said, can we not play it offline if no wifi? And suppose these companies eventually stop , go bankrupt or something what could we do then to access our games?

Just like the 3.5 drives, someday CD/DVD drives on an computer will be obsolete.

The code worked on Origin and I was able to install Seasons from the disc without any issues.

I do have a couple of discs but I think they're just discs with a code on them? I think it's GTW, where I put the disc in and it went into Origin and downloaded the content. I have two like that and others that are codes in a box. So whether it be a piece of paper or a disc with a code, they all lead to downloading it nowadays.

During installation it went to Origin and it said "copying" so Origin probably copied and installed everything from the disc. It didn't download anything because it was all done in a couple of minutes, while the actual download would've taken at least two hours, based on my Internet speed.

Cats and Dogs just had a code in the case, but seasons where I get my sims 4 stuff retail just a carboard thing you take to the register and the origin code is on your receipt.

It probably depends on where you live, because I've seen some European versions of Seasons with just a code in a box, while the one I got has a disc.

You put in your code into origin and download the game from there. There are no physical CD's anymore.
