Community AdminYou need to use Origin for the initial install. What issues are you having, perhaps we can help?
Once the game is installed and launched once, you can set Origin to offline and launch the game without using it. It's worth checking back occasionally for updates/patches though.
i have a similar problem, i have an acount on origin and i downloaded the sims for the 48 hours freeplay and then i wanted to buy it 2 days after and with my paypal account but everytime i try in origin it sais there was an error and i cant download it, i also created another origin accout to see if the same thing happened and it did.
i dont know what to do anymore
Could you post the exact error message you're getting ? Is the game on your account ? Does it show in my games or still only the game time one ?
