but we still only have one game disc.
Hello Metro,
I'm not 100% sure about what I'm going to explain here. But, since I need to reinstall my game soon (due to :cough: the recent frying of the graphic card), I'll be able to test my suggestion.
I think that you can register the serial codes of your purchased disks at EA website (EA, not the Sims 3). This enables the download of the digital versions, with 2 big pro's:
1. In case of a lost/scratched/broken disk, you can download its digital version and don't have to buy it again.
2. With the digital installation, you don't need the disk to play. This is the very official and legit way to play without disk.
As I said, I'll try this myself in the following days. If it works, I'll PM you, ok?
And congrats with your DecaDynasty by the way, your stories are always very funny and entertaining. Good luck with the puppies!
Edit: I just remember, there is one potential big problem with the digital download, it's securom. I don't know if it's the same mess than the one of Spore, but for sure something to keep an eye on.
