This version is a guarantee of stress ...

"Note: In order to play and to have access to (if available) and receive online services on Bonushinhate, are an Internet connection, an EA / Origin account, acceptance of the product and the Origin EULA (EULA), the EA Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, the installation of the Origin client software (Details available at [...]) as well as registration with enclosed, one-shot serial number. The serial number is not transferable to use. "

A small set, you should not ignore ... The installation about this stupid (to use not worse words ...) Origin software is a guarantee of stress during installation. Just google. For me, the installation took a whole day to complete, and then ran ultimately not yet. I can give back to the open software of course not ... 35 shot in the oven !!
By installing one admits EA about this software some access rights about personal data and use a. The game itself has to download, which of course takes at 6GB hours then awkward about this Origin account and on your own computer to installiernde software from the Internet. These Origin software you also get so the Internet to download I wonder then where in this version of the Sims difference to normal download version ?! Because you get two CDs, but must ultimately be based on the Keys the game and the add-on to pull down but ... Whats wrong cumbersome ?! And then ultimately unsuccessful, very annoying.

Conclusion:
All too inscrutable and kompliziert- prefer to invest more for normal Versiond it based game in which you hold all the DVDs in his hands, and then more add-ons to buy extra. Stay away from this version here!
