Do you need origin to install

Yeah before doing so you should install a anti-virus system probably Webroot is the best. The only reason you should install a anti-virus is so you won't end up having a virus like I did.

Yes, you have to download the Origin client to download SimCity. The Origin client is free to download and its not bad to have as they sometimes have free games that you can download.

Sort of, it's a disk and it'll install the base game (you'll need to have a steam account and be connected to the internet to have the game added to your account) but you'll need to download updates as well. I hope this was helpful!

Yes. Install the game and when your done, right click the Sims icon and go to administration and click yes.

You end having to make a Origin account , which has all the games you buy online. I only downloaded it to my laptop. Unsure if they have limited download to just one computer. They give you a product code just like a CD copy .. I would just buy the CD though looking back..

Yes but will need to be formatted correctly. Research the install online and you should find what you need.

I had downloaded this at purchase. You should be able to download the file from another computer put it in a flash drive then install. You do need internet access for activation though.

You can but will only get the basic software with no updated definitions. But it makes no sense to install on a computer without Internet connection.

Unfortunately, it requires being activated by steam during installation. Once installed, you do not have to have internet access (though it is recommended, as then you'll get the updates), but it will not work or install without talking to steam first.

I believe so. I called origin customer support and they linked everything. I also registered my games through origin. So check there.

Yes, you need to have an origin account to be able to play this game which does require an E-Mail.

No software required. Your system was configured for this in the first place, so no.

It does not require it but be aware you can only use your code once. I had to uninstall my game and contacted them for help reinstalling it. He said it would be so easy to just do it online but failed to mention I had to install origin on my computer and download it and all my expansion packs which took forever! It is nice to register the game and get a origin account incase anything happens but I did not have WiFi on my computer ans played the game many years without making a account.

No, but its free. Google it for installs, and you can also google or youtube for how to install. Straight forward.

If you downloaded it from amazon, you will need to download the origin "app" onto your computer. Once downloaded create an account with origin and register your product key with it and it will open right up

It actually uses Origin instead of Steam. The Origin client and an origin account are required to play though.

Simply download it from Amazon, double click the executable and when prompted enter the key code provided. It does not do a full install process it just extracts some files and updates others. It doesn't look like and install from the base game.
