I have a collection of old CD-ROMs for The Sims 1, 2, and 3 and I’m wondering if they serve any purpose beyond nostalgia. Are there any ways to use these that will allow me to redeem download codes for digital versions? Should I just get rid of them, or is there still hope for playing these games?

You can actually redeem the Sims 3 CD codes for digital copies! I did it for most of my games a few years ago and I even redeemed my Sims 3 Supernatural code recently, so they do still work.
To use those codes, just install the EA app on your PC, head to My Library, and look for the option to ‘redeem code.’ Easy peasy!
Yeah, you should be able to use the codes just like you would if you bought codes online. Don’t toss them yet!
