Uninstall your most recent EP then download and reinstall the digital version from Origin. Instructions here.
I got the Sims 3 Starter Pack (with Sims 3, Sims 3:Late Night, and Sims 3:High End Loft) and Sims 3 University Life, installed them, but it keeps saying there is no disc. I just got Supernatural and Pets (I thought it was just cause University was the last one I downloaded) and I went to play,the Supernatural icon popped up, and then disappeared and University Life icon pops in its place and it says theres no disc, please help. I have a Mac.
Do you have the actual disc version of Uni or do you have the download one ?
Also are you using Store content in your game ?
Disc and No.
Could you post the exact wording of the message you're getting ?
please help --
I wanted to play sims 3 because I haven't played in a very long time. I have it on origin and most of the expansion packs are redeemed codes from discs but not all of them. I had not problem redeeming the codes. I have downloaded them over and over again and I have tried to find this answer over and over but I can't find it. I only have the main game, island paradise, and generations installed right now. I know the problem is the mac updates, but I know there is an answer, just don't know where to find it.
First when I downloaded it, it would say "unknown error occurred" before I could even get to the launcher. Then I tried this thing that skips the launcher (https://robservatory.com/how-to-make-sims-3-work-in-macos-sierra/) and I got to the screen where you choose a town. Once that screen was loaded I get a message saying "no disc found....." it is on origin so I don't have a disc. What do i do? This is a MacBook air
@mgrocks18 This is you, right?

Let me know whether the Super Patch helps.
I have the same problem but a little different but still wont let me play and my computer is hp
HII!
I have been searching how to play this game for awhile after experiencing the same issue as you. What I tried was uninstalling then installing again. When it prompts you to update the game I hit no. I have no idea what I will be missing out in the update, but as long as I get to play my Sim3 game its kind of worth it.
