I bought Sims 4 on CD, unfortunately my new laptop doesn't have a CD compartment. What can I do now to play Sims 4 on the new laptop?

Either she mentioned an external drive.

Or

You can make a digital version of this dvd using any other computer that has a drive. A so-called image file. Deamon Tools can do this, for example. With the same program you can then simulate the drive and read the digital dvd.

Origin should actually recognize that you own the game. So it should automatically be available for download in your library. Also with all extensions, if you bought them.

Either there's a code with you that you can register online, then you can download the game completely and do not need a CD to play…

… Or you buy an external DVD drive. Mine cost 20 euro at Amazon at the time and is disconnected via USB. Has worked flawlessly ever since.
