    The Sims 4 does require a connection to Origin to activate and download updates, even if the game can then be played offline. This mandatory connection is mentioned on the store page for the product, in the requirement.

    Really, you just need to follow the prompts to install from the DVD, but our very own crinrict has made a blog article about dvd install. 🙂

    1. If you have the US version of the Sims, you should be able to play it in India.
    2. There shouldn't be any issues from getting the game from another country besides languages, sometimes certain versions have only a few language packages and not all. This isn't the case of the US version.
    3. There are 2 DVD in the box, they only contain installation data and are not required to play the game.
    4. Provided the game you purchased from ebay India has the English entitlements, you will be asked to select a language when you start the installation. 🙂
