Hello,
I tried this fix and I received a similar error to other users. The launcher has "stopped working" and I am unable to reinstall the game or open it up. What do I do? ):

Hi. Before saying anything else, I inform you that I am using Mac.
I'm having trouble downloading the file. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it says it is a windows file and then it opens in TextEdit. What do I do?
I own all Sims3 packages, including Late Night, but I can't seem to find my Late Night disk. So, I'm not downloading to use for illegal downloading.

Hey Man,

This is good stuff, but when I ran the game I got the following error:

"Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x000000003 at address 0x100aefa3
Do you wish to debug?

Yes or No"

Then clicking either will cause it to close and nothing happen. Does this mean I the fix wont work?
In the meantime I am reinstalling the game.

The characteristics of my game are the following:
I use a Mac,
Have downloaded the latest patch
I have custom content
I have Nightlife Expansion installed (which btw is very fun!)
It is 100% original.

Thanks,
Nick

I am a mac user and also getting this same problem after installing the newest 1.18 patch. I only have the base game on my laptop.

Exception Raised.

"Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x000000003 at address 0x100aefa3
Do you wish to debug?

Yes or No"

Neither works and my game is also legit.

I am wondering, like the others, if there is anyway to fix this. I'll keep an eye out. Thanks

I'm a Mac user with the Sims 3 and the Ambitions expansion pack.
I followed the instructions in the first post, but I'm receiving the same "debug" dialog box as above.

When I followed the instructions, I did replace the original ts3.exe and other files in the bin with the extracted contents of the download.

Is there any way to get the original files back? I should have saved them, I know now, but I had just been doing what the post said.
This isn't working for me so I figured I'd just get back to it's earlier non-working state and try a different method to fix that.

Please help, thanks!

What files exactly (as in the file names) am I supposed to replace? I tried clicking on the TS3.exe but absolutely nothing happened. I have windows vista and am on a compact laptop. This is an original copy of the game, I just lost my disk. And when i try to open it up the normal way (clicking on the icon on my desktop) it just automatically says "Sims3launcher has stopped working a problem caused the program to stop working correctly." Also i tried the second fix and I don't have a DLR tab in the properties on my cd drive. Help?

Davideo7 : I just started seeing the "no disk" error and stumbled upon your site saying how to fix it, and how to play with out a disk! It looked too good to be true, and so far it is. I downloaded the file that was liked above, and then tried to Extract, however I do not have an extract all option. (My operating system is a windows vista) The only options that I have are to "Extract Files..." "Extract Here" or "Extract to wrg-332s/" I've tried all of the above with no avail. Also my Sims file on my computer has a folder marked Bin and inside said Bin folder there is another folder marked Bin. Which folder am I supposed to put the file in? Thank you for any help that you have to offer.

Hello. This procedure is very easy and it worked and everything until I clicked on the document, TS3, in the Bin folder. I already did everything else. My disk is in the drive whether its supposed to be there or not, and I tried the launchers but TS3 wont do anything. I click it and nothing happens. No computer crashing or anything. Just nothing. Please help!

It worked awesome for me at first, then there was an update this morning and I can no longer play it. I tried to redo all the steps but it appears that the BIN folder has been removed. Any suggestion for how I can play without the disk?
It belongs to my boyfriend and his brother has kidnapped it so I can't play it anymore with the disk and I miss it

I did this, however, I did'nt extract the files first, now it wont work. My dvd drive has died, but I do have a legit copy. Any Idea's. I'm guessing I overwrote the good files, with compressed. Then when I did again, the right way, It still wont work.

I've downloaded this and followed your directions exactly. When I try to launch it now, an error message pops up saying, "Exception raised. Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000003 at address 0x100aefa3. Do you wish to debug it?"

Regardless of what I click, it just closes.

I'm having the same problem as yoyoje; I put it in the bin folder, but hen I click on all the applications, they don't work. When I try to start the launcher, it says there's an error with it, and when I directly start the game it does nothing. Anyone know a fix to this? I'm running windows vista, and since my disc is scratched up, I can't use it, and I can't re-install it. I was hoping to play it again, but I might just give up until I can afford an EP.

I've tried the first procedure, it didn't work. Granted I'll admit I'm terrible with computers, but I tried extracting the files and doing the files moving thing, and I still get the disc authentication failure error sign. I also tried the second way but  my computer doesn't have a DLA tab so I couldn't do anything. Please help
