Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
How can I not use a DVD with a legal retail copy of The Sims using Origin?

I want to get around using my DVD with The Sims because my PC always scans the dang thing if it's in there when the scan hits. The BF got Sims on Origin and registered it there and doesn't have to use the DVD; why can't I just register it as well (which I did) and not have to use the DVD either? Origin shows that the game is in my library and everything.

Does Origin let you download your games? If it does I'd try uninstalling it, d/l from origin and reinstall.

That'll take like 2 days. Bugger. Ok, I'll give it a shot, thanks. I was hoping I wouldn't have too since Origin already detected them on there as legal and everything.
I mean I'm just guessing here. But I figure the origin download won't include the DVD checking DRM, unlike the DVD install. Only legal way I could think of.
