So I’ve always wanted to play the sims life stories ever since i watched life summer play them. I’ve seen some on Facebook marketplace and amazon. I have a windows 10 laptop with no disk drive, can the codes still be entered into origin? And then can i even get them to work? My assumption is yes because it’s sims 2 ish software so it should work right

Interesting question however according to to the info from Origin on the link below it appears to suggest that you can play but through a disc drive only so the only thing I could suggest is you buy yourself a external disc drive you can attach to your laptop.
Some of our classic games cannot be redeemed on Origin and can only be played if you still have the game disc. Those games include but are not limited to:
The Sims (1)
The Sims 2
Battlefield 1942
Battlefield Vietnam
Command & Conquer
Medal of Honor
Crysis

Maybe someone a lot more techie than might pop along and know some sort of solution.
I hope you will be able to find a way to play

Do you mean you are using the discs? as when I was purchased a full set of S2 series discs to put away in case I needed them in future the 3 stories discs arrived in the same box and I had no clue what they were at first or that they were standalone so I was wondering myself if the discs would work on a win 10 OS or are you using another OS?
I think it could be more difficult for @fatbat21 as I believe there is only a code but not a disc that can be used and EA appear to suggest in their articles that playing that way is no longer an option it has to be disc.

That is really interesting info..
