With no DVD drive, can you load games like Sims...etc?

You would have to pirate the game or use a peripheral CD drive. Check the running specifications of The Sims game you're trying to play - the laptop may not be powerful enough

You would have to get an external disk drive or put the game on a flash drive. Both are cheap.

You can if you have the game on some other media, or if you plug in a DVD drive accessory to the unit.USB sticks work well for installing programs that need to be done, but when you dont have a disk and a dvd reader/writer to do it.Hope that is helpful. The machine is capable of loading SIM software, (the game, sims...) no problem and running them also.

so, when you want to load programs from cd's, can you connect with a usb to a desk top or another laptop with dvd/cd capabilities?

Not 100% sure as I never tried, but it does have a DVD drive, so I assume if you have the right software you could.

If you down loaded the game then there shouldn't be a problem. If nothing else, buy an external disk drive. I think I paid $40 for one at Best Buy.

Not as it is, for it lacks an optical drive. You can separately buy an usb DVD burner, as I did.

Yes, you can play without thw internet, but only the story mode.You don't get a disc. You download the complete game from steam, which installs automatically, hence, no disc is.needed.

You should be able to play games without internet, simply playing discs you've purchased. But you'd miss out on any updates your system may need.

I have a desktop iMac without a DVD drive and it works just fine, so I don't know. I do remember reading somewhere that Apple's new external dvd will only work on computers without a DVD drive.

As long as it's in CD or DVD format, I don't see why you can't install your game into your hard drive. Once in the hard drive, it's all up to your environment whether they will run or not like hardware and resource requirements, licensing, etc.

No DVD/CD drive. Should work well as a word processor. I run Media Center on it. Stream video from network attached storage and Netflicks with no performance issues.

No disk drive in it. Facebook games, no problem. 1.8GHz dual dore I3. Great machine for the money:)

I'm not sure. I bought this laptop as a gift for a friend of mine. I don't know if she plays sims on it. She needed it to complete her on-line college. If you have a cd/DVD rom drive and had a video graphics card installed on your laptop, then you should be able to play sims discs. Sorry I couldn't be of more help,

I would invest in a DVD/CD USB drive for installation. Be sure to have all the drivers available on a flashdrive.

No DVD ROM. I would not recommend buying this product. It struggled to do simple tasks such as run Excel and surf the web. I was surprised that the company would make a product that poorly designed and tested.

Hi, I also have windows 8.1 and the game works perfectly :). You do not need the disc.
