No that is correct. If you bought the Game on DVD the discs contain the entire game not just Origin. There is no such thing as a "maxius" folder. Start the game once so the user folders are created. Then you can add Mods and CC to the Mods folder.

If you purchased a code from a Reseller follow the included instruction on how to redeem it.

Did you ever get a satisfactory answer to your question? I am on Windows 10. The autorun doesn't. There is autorun.inf on the disk which is meant to launch autorun but doesn't. The icon file is just that an icon file. There is a zipped folder which can't be unzipped.

Same problem. I have Windows 10. Autorun doesn't work. Technical "solutions" provided in the link depend on getting to an install screen and going to Origin to get a redeem code.

Windows 10 does not allow autorun on Sims 4 in my case.

Simply run setup. The what to do prompt you get in Windows 10 gives you this option. You can also just use file explorer and doubleclick it there.
