Maybe A Dumb Question: Sharing Game Packs
Alright, so a few months ago, my dear cousin gave me her desktop Lenovo, which contains multiple games, including the Sims 4 (duh). She let me use her Origin account in order to access the game. I also have an Origin account.
If you've ever tried to download the base game on another computer, you know it's nearly impossible to do, as it takes hours and then stalls and soft-locks the computer. So naturally, I'm going to buy an additional copy-- a DVD one, of course. I saw a copy (new, apparently) on Amazon for less then $40.
I'm going to get it regardless, but I have to know, can I install the base game DVD on my laptop with MY Origin account and then use her account to install the game packs. I figure the Origin client would notice the base game is installed and maybe cooperate? The answer is probably no, but I just need to check. Thanks!
