I lost my SD card Sims 4 is installed on...

I installed Sims 4 on an SD card, my laptop had 2 gb of space free. Well I lost the SD card, don't have a disc, and don't have Wi-Fi, is there any way for me to get the files back?

    I mean, if the only place the files were was on the SD card, and you no longer have the SD card, then no, there's no way for you to get them back.

    Hello
    It is not recommended to play the Sims 4 from an external drive. It can cause game issues.

    Your laptop may not meet the recommended system requirements to run the game.
    Could you please post your DxDiag info here.
    To gather a DXDIAG on your computer, do this :
    Press and hold the Windows key and the letter R on your keyboard
    You will see a Run box in the lower-left corner of your screen
    Type dxdiag in the text field
    Click OK
    Click the Save All Information button, found on the bottom of the DXDIAG report

    After you have saved your dxdiag info on your computer, go to the pastebin site https://pastebin.com
    and copy/paste the dxdiag info into the white box there. Press the button to create the new paste/pastebin text file.
    Then post here in this thread the web address of your dxdiag info that is on the pastebin site. You will need to replace the http in the address with h.t.t.p as you are a new member and can’t post links.

    Agree with rose that it's not recommended to play the game on an external drive. Not meeting the game requirements is a concern as well.

    Beyond that... You can clear as much space as you can on your laptop, take your laptop to a spot with free wifi and download the digital copy from Origin. Even the disk copies require registering so you should have a digital copy to download from Origin. If this was obtained via pirating, that's not something we can discuss or help with on the official forums.
