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!)

japan_luver1:
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.
It still doesn't work...... japan_luver1:

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.

I just wanted to let you know that once I updated the driver on my video card, your download and instructions worked perfectly.

Thank you. :-)

To get this to work on the Mac, it's actually pretty simple. I've taken the instructions from the beginning and edited them a bit.

You see, the Mac uses the same files as Windows does; they're just deeper down. Here, take a look. Here's 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 by double clicking on it.

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

This path is:

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.

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.

It's a very, VERY long path, but... That's what it is! You can see how similar it is to Windows at the very end. The Sims 3 is running under a Windows emulator on the Mac.
