Hi, I recently received Sims 3 as a gift. However I have noticed there are two versions of the base game: the 2009 release (http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Sims-PC-Mac-DVD/dp/B0015YDH6O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1364158654&sr=8-2) and the 2012 release (http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Sims-3-PC-DVD/dp/B00AHRD69S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364158654&sr=8-1).

I have the latest version which states "internet connection, origin account, acceptance of product and origin end user license agreements, installation of the origin client software, registration with enclosed single-user serial codes and the latest sims 3 patch required to play."

This concerns me as I really would prefer to be able to install the game from the disc without needing origin, so if at any time in the future I want to install the game and origin is not available for whatever reason then it doesn't matter as the game will still work without it. Also I do not like the idea of having to download the game online, as this could be a real time-consuming hassle and makes me confused about the point of buying the disc at all.

I was told that I won't need origin or the internet to install and run the game I have, but from my understanding from what the package says I have been misinformed. However I could be worrying about nothing so if anyone could advise me that would be great. I've only ever played Sims 2 so this is all new to me.



Answer
You don't need origin to play. Origin is just the game connecting to the sims website through the internet. (Basically connecting with other players, buying in game accessories with real money, and sharing your in-game activities with FB or the sims website.) You do not need to connect to origin nor do you need an account.

I don't believe you'll need Internet to install the game since you have it on CD, but you will need the Internet to update with the current patches. Patches fix bugs in the game and generally make the game better. (A recent patch made the movement of the horse's legs in Sims 3 Pets look more natural.) You can check the website to see what exactly the patches are doing.

I have the base model of MacBook Pro mid 2012. Idk if I'm liking it that well. I love the mouse and built quality. I bought it at bestbuy. Could someone help pointing me to some laptops that are under 1200 at bestbuy or a store. Don't wanna buy online. I would like similar built quality. Reason why I don't like pc laptops cuz there almost always made cheap. Thanks in advance.
