If you're computer is having troubles detecting Sims 3 game after you've installed it, which is preventing you from playing it, than you're at the right place, I've a quick and simple fix.

First of all, this is probably the error you're getting:
Disc Authentication Failure
No Game disc found! Please insert the sims 3 game disc.


If the above error is what you’re getting, you’ve come to the right place. Or if you simply want to know how to play your game without the disc in your computer, this is also the right place.

NOTE: This will only work on legit copies of the game! I do not condone pirating, especially of an awesome game like this!



This will take only a few minutes to fix! Here are the steps:

1. First you'll need to download this file
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/controlpanel.php?category=downloads&download=sims3discerrorfix

2. Extract the file you downloaded (with a pc, right click file and choose 'Extract All...').

3. Now you must find the folder the game was installed to:

If you're using Windows Vista, Browse to the following location on your computer:
C:Program Files (x86)Electronic ArtsThe Sims 3GameBin
(if you're using internet explorer, you can copy the above location and paste it into your address bar in this window and the folder will pop up in a separate window)
If you can't find it, click the Circle with the Windows Flag in it at the bottom corner of your screen, than go to Computer, than go to Local Disk (C:) than go to Program Files, than go to Electronic Arts, than go to The Sims 3, than go to Game and than go to Bin (please note that it may not show the files and ask you if you want to show the files, it's safe to show the files)

If you're using Windows XP, Browse to the following location on your computer:
C:Program FilesElectronic ArtsThe Sims 3GameBin
(if you're using internet explorer, you can copy the above location and paste it into your address bar in this window and the folder will pop up in a separate window)
If you can't find it, go to My Computer, than go to Local Disk (C:) than go to Program Files, than go to Electronic Arts, than go to The Sims 3, than go to Game and than go to Bin (please note that it may not show the files and ask you if you want to show the files, it's safe to show the files)

If you're using a Mac, Browse to the following location on your computer:
Macintosh HDApplicationsThe Sims 3The Sims3.app (you need to right click and choose "Show Contents"!)ContentsResourcestransgamingc_driveProgram FilesElectronic ArtsThe Sims 3GameBin

4. Drag the files from that extracted folder from step 2 into this folder that you just browsed to (be sure to replace the files already in that bin folder).

5. Now when you go to play the game, it should work right away! Also note that you can now play the game without the disc if you want.

To sum things up, you basically just need to extract that file into the bin folder of the Sims 3 installation folder


That's it! The game should work just fine now. Enjoy
If this did not work, you can try out another procedure which should fix it here:
https://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/thread.php?id=5549


If this worked for you, please let me know, it's good to tally up how many people got this working with my help.
If this didn't work for you, please also let me know and I can help you get it working.

well I'm glad you figured it out.... I'm pretty sure as long as you follow the instructions as they are written that it should get things rolling.

Browse to the folder which you put those files in that you downloaded and from that folder, open up the TS3.exe file. Let me know if that works.

You'd see that message when you've loaded the launcher and pressed the Play game button.

I tried to use this on my Mac, but it is not working. I copied the files into the bin folder (/Applications/The Sims 3.localized/The Sims3.app/Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/Program Files/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Game/Bin), but when I try to run the game, it still tells me that I need to insert the disk. Do you know if this works on Mac, and do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

I think this may only work if you have the legal copy of the game too, ive seen on some forums that people who downloaded the game cant get the cd cracks to work, not sure, but i know for sure if you have the legal game for pc, are using vista and use davids fix, everything should work out fine, i just put like an O at the end to keep the original files, like TS3O.exe on my originals so i didnt overwrite them, they are still there, then just moved the others into the bin folder, anyway thanks again david

You're suppose to copy all the files and drag them into the bin folder. If you need to, from the bin folder, double click to open the 'ts3' file in there.

Please note that if you have a mac, this may not work. Also this is legal since it only lets you play the game if you have a legal copy.

Ok that is beyond my fix than. The fix in this thread is simply to help people get the game working after they get the disc authentication error.

It could be that your computer isn't powerful enough or your graphics driver isn't up to date.


Either way, sorry I couldn't be more help.

japan_luver1: take the disc out of your computer and than try double clicking the 'ts3' file within that bin folder.

Let me know if that helps.

Ok that might be the problem, I think this may only work for USA versions of the game. You didn't answer my question regarding the operating system though.

Thanks for sharing this.

Works absolutely brilliantly for me, I'm using the European Version too, on XP.

You're a star (My husband says thanks too, I was giving him a headache moaning about the error until he found this thread!)

I downloaded everything and have been experiencing the same problem as you were, I could load the game and it would start, but once it got to the Neghbourhood menu it would come up with the 'Disc Authentication Error'. I also have a Toshiba. How did you get yours to work in the end? Thanks.

Oh, and also, Davideo7, do you have any idea how I could fix this?
Cheers.

After my wife and I bought the game from GameStop, I searched for a way so one of us could play without the disc. I stumbled on this thread and gave your method a try; worked like a charm. Thank you so very much! You've saved my wife and I the frustration of only one of us being able to play at a time.

On a side note, I browsed your site after checking to see if your method worked. Great site! I'm sure to make it one of my regular cyberspace haunts.

Thanks again,

Andante

It worked perfectly. The patch that came with the game was the exact same size but didn't work the way this one did. I honestly can't figure out why that is the case but I'm glad this was here. Not that I'm dying to play the game but because I'd be mad to have downloaded 6 gig's worth of a game that I now can't play.

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.

Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music.  This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees.  If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.

We prioritize the community over the site profits.  This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness.  We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
