Hi! I remember that all discs are single install only. So if you want it to be installed in another laptop, simply download origin and log on to the same Origin ID you installed your game with, check the My Games tab and it will install from there. Standard smile

 

Not a tech help from EA, but as far as I know, this is how I understood their current policy on installing The Sims 4.

 

Hope I helped!

To everyone else, here's what I did:

 

1) Pop in the installer disc 1 into the drive and have it autorun.

2) Log into Origin and go through everything

3) Input my code

 

Now here's where the "code's been used" window will open, sending you back to encode your code. Here's what to do:

 

1) Close that window

2) Go to My Games Tab

3) Click on Origin (if I remember correctly, but if not, choose any of the available menus. Not at my PC at the moment, so can't open Origin Frown) and hit Reload

4) If the game still doesn't show, make sure the drop-down menus available under the My Games Tab is set to "All". Do not set it to installed since it's still basically not yet installed, you simply placed your product code.

5) Click on the Sims 4 image and click Install.

 

Then voila! It shall install accordingly.

 

Hope this helps. Standard smile
