Sims 4 Limited Edition - Disc installation
Have purchased the Sims 4 Limited edition and am trying to install from the discs, there are two discs, put in disc 1 and it wants me to create an origin account which I have done and then it starts ...
Forum Discussion
I've just spent about 2 hours on this frustrating issue! Purchased disc version and followed instructions but it kept going into download of game - not install or copy from disc. Looked on another forum and tried a number of suggestions, finally the one which worked was to click on downloading game and select cancel (I had seen that option before but was too scared to go through with cancelling due to message that I'd lose all downloaded data so far).
Anyway, cancelled download, went back to My Computer,clicked on DVD drive, then clicked setup.exe
Took me to Origin login again, but once back in, I was able to select language and then install.
Turns out that even copying from disc is taking a while but at least no where near as long as downloading, and of course not using my download allowance.
Anyway, cancelled download, went back to My Computer,clicked on DVD drive, then clicked setup.exe

You are my new best friend. I was getting so frustrated I was about to return the game.
