    @445piox0ovir  You can't install Sims 4 using a disc anymore.  In theory, you'd register the code that came with the disc and then download the game through the EA App.  In practice, the code might already be used.  But since Sims 4 is free to play now, you don't need one, you can just claim it within the EA App and download it from there.

    If the disc is for a pack, you would still need to register the code in the EA App, and if you can't, then there's no way to use the content.
