    If you still have your game keys an EA Game Advisor can add the game to your Origin account and you can then play without disc.

    As Sims 2 is an older game you'll have to contact an EA Game Advisor to have it added to your Origin account.

    You need to log into the help page with your Origin account and then choose "Product", "Issue Type", and "Platform" to see the contact options. Please choose phone or chat as contact option.

@EA_Spectre I only get a phone option and not a chat or email one. Im partially Deaf and have great difficulty with talking on phones. Am I missing an email or online chat option? I gave up trying to keep playing Sims 2 when we upgraded to windows 10 but its my wifes favorite game and im trying to surprise her by getting it working. My copy also gets stuck at asking for disc 2.

@shadow_exx , trying to get Sims 2 to work on Windows 10 is tricky, but doable. Since Windows 10 is very security conscious, you'll need to do a few workarounds to get the game to run. I'm not sure if you have all of the expansions as well, but we'll cover those in a moment. 

First of all, follow these instructions for how to install the Base Game. This should allow you to get everything working.

Let me know once you've gotten the game installed and I'll help you finish getting the game to work.

[CM Edit: Please don't link to third-party download sites. Thanks.]
