I have been having trouble with the Origin Client and I seriously do NOT want to deal with it at the moment. I have just bought Sims 4 and would like to play it, ASAP. So, is there a way to install the Sims 4 without logging into origin? It doesn't look it, but I'd figure I'd ask anyway. I just honestly hate the client. I don't need it.
You can't install it without registering.
Does it no longer show up in my Games ? Did it ever ?
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 ?
I tried what you said, and it worked! I'm waiting for it to be installed now. Thank you so much!
Mac is download only.
What issues do you have with the Origin download ?
It's best if you made your own thread so a mac helper can assist you, maybe even in the Origin forum.
There were some issues earlier.
Do you still have trouble now ?
Did you buy the game on disc or on Origin ?
tillyblue,.. thank you so much. Your offline method works great. But this took me hours to find. How would any newby know how to do this?
There should be an "Install Sims 4" icon". We should click it and then it should just work no matter what. Registration comes later. I paid for it over the counter in a shop and have the original DVD/CD in the box. It's mine and can't use it without wasting almost a day on my time. I'm extremely far from the only one with issues as I've trolled the internet for a solution.
EA can't possibly expect everyone to do this rubbish.
Why the firewall clean registry UAC stuff when everything on my computer works perfect. Nothing is wrong with my computer and I shouldn't have to fix something that's not broken. And I will certainly NOT disable UAC which Microsoft put there to to stop unwanted software being installed without the users knowledge.
So I ask anyone who can answer, why do people have to do all this rubbish to install the game on computers that are perfectly fine? (Taking into consideration that some people have the original box with discs)
