Can I get my physical Sims 2 copy onto my Origin account?

I want to play this game so badly, but my PC doesn't have a ODD. Can I get my physical copies of Sims 2 and some expansion packs added to my origin library? I beg you...

@harrykeum  sorry, but the answer is no. The only way to have gotten a digital copy of the game was when EA was giving the digital codes out prior to last year with proof of purchase of the game. I just checked Amazon in the US and they only are selling CD copies.

If you can find someone who has a CD drive that you can connect up to your computer, you can try to download the game or if you have an old computer that is running Windows XP or Windows 7 try that.

The only digital copy of the Sims 2 that I know of being sold currently is for the Mac OS available through the Apple App Store, but it only includes the EPs/SPs ported for the Mac which wasn't the entire run of the game and only runs on the Mac OS.

I currently have sims 2 super collection on Mac, im looking at swapping to windows, is there anyway i can get the game transferred to the windows version, or is there anyway i can get the ultimate collection?

@Elischajane , unfortunately not. The only way to get Sims 2 for Windows is to purchase CD copies from either EBay or Amazon. EA is no longer giving out digital codes for UC since last year.

how do you get a new code when the game has been retired

[Tremayne4260]

@glorialynnhoney , you probably out of luck. The only way to get a copy of Sims 2 is to buy physical CD/DVDs either used or new from Amazon or Ebay.
