| 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 http://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: (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: If you're using Windows XP, Browse to the following location on your computer: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin (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: If you're using a Mac, Browse to the following location on your computer: Macintosh HD\Applications\The Sims 3\The Sims3.app (you need to right click and choose "Show Contents"!)\Contents\Resources\transgaming\c_drive\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin 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: http://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.

| 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. | |||

| 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 | |||

| Stevenbenton brings up a good point, this is only meant to work on legal copies. And yeap, glad you got it working littleostrich: This only works for windows, sorry but I don't own a mac so have no way of figuring out how to get it to work on a mac  |
