Posted on May 10, 2013 by sww

But I personally love the main advantage of it: no more discs. @TheSimSupply had a great idea just now, to ask Origin if they can put The Sims 1 in their shop. So let's get some The Sims Community action going and all suggest/tweet to @origininsider that we want this. I personally would re-buy my entire collection just to have no more discs. Read more [...]
