Why does Sims 4 come with 2 discs?
Re: Why is there 2 discs in The Sims 4? The installation is up to 8.5gb if I remember correctly, so my best guess is that one disc holds up to 5 or 6gb, while the second disc holds the last 2 or 3gb. While the limited content is downloaded through Origin, depending on the edition you have gotten.
