    Two installation options in game box?

    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    I just opened my new Discover University and Island Living and inside each game case was a disk and two ways to install. 1) Via the disk and 2) Via Origin.
    Now that I saw two versions I'm hesitant about installing them because I don't know what one is correct.

    I would also like to know if, say I use the code to install it could I give the disk and code to someone so they can use it too or is it just two installation options? This is just a question. I'm not trying to break any rules or anything.

    P.S. I bought the games at Target and I was not expecting to find a disk inside just a game code.

    Please help. I plan on installing at least one of them either tonight or tomorrow after I get home from seeing Star Wars. (My brother's Christmas gift to me)

      If it came with 2 ways to install, then either way would be correct. There is really no "wrong" way.

      You can't give the disk to someone else after you have installed it in your comp. Ultimately, it will be going though your Origin. The disk is just there for someone who may be running low on data and might not have a lot of broadband left to download the game files.

      Both the disk and the digital download will have the same code to install. Once the code is used, it can't be used on another account to install.
