Sims 4 Cats and Dogs No Disc

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?

The other Expansion Packs have had Discs in.

Some desktop cases do not even come with external slots. Just like the 3.5 drives, someday CD/DVD drives on an computer will be obsolete.

Yes but you can buy external disc drives.

I don't think sims 4 or any of its current dlc has had a disc, i went to a store to purchase sims 4 as a hard copy when it was released, and when I got home, and opened my sims 4 case, it was in fact empty with just a code inside to download it from origin, and I suspect it would not make sense for any of the other add on's for sims 4 to be any different. Tho you do get a fancy sims 4 decorated plastic case ~~ ooo

I recently got a new computer built and not even my new pc can use a disc, i would have to buy an external drive to play discs, pretty sure that in the future people will not even need to leave their homes, we will all just do everything even simple tasks online, i would not even be phased if we would still be connected to the internet even while asleep, maybe we will discover technology to document dreams and stuff and just 100% of the time be connected to the internet.

Maybe the future for humans will be just everyone living in really clean nice spaces, and outside world will be full of eco friendly wilderness stuff, finding new and creative ways to use solar power, always connected to the internet, to your friends, to your family, to the world, you always can choose to be aware of everything or not, and just never truly be alone. ever. wow.

The future could be like that one episode of black mirror--- no wait, that would suck.

That is true and you can also buy one for the laptop as well, companies are less dependent on physical media because it reduces overhead in certain areas of production. Those that do not have access to the internet are considered casualties being as long as they can get the majority to connect. The writing was on the wall for a long time that anything that was on physical media was doomed. I myself prefer physical media but in the long run it does not matter because unlike the past where you did not need the internet or an third party to completely install an program like now. You basically have to pray when an company goes belly up they allow the user to disengage from needing them to finish an install or let you DL the Install file like GOG does. I have accepted DLing games being it is getting harder to get your hands on an hard copy.

I have the Discs for the Sims 4 and the Sims 4 Get to Work, The Sims 4 Get Together, The Sims 4 City Living. The only one I do not have a Disc for of the expansion Packs is the newest one Cats and Dogs! But it does say on the Box DVD ROM.
