Digital download from Amazon + Game Disc issues

Hi. I purchased the Late Night expansion from Amazon via digital download for my Mac. I installed the game and ran it, but I get the "No Game Disc Found!" error message, and cannot play. I don't have a disc - it was a digital download, so why would it ask me for one? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game, restarted my computer and emailed Amazon. I've gotten NO help. This is very frustrating considering I paid for this. You'd think that since it was a digital download it would already be configured to not need a CD.

Please tell me what to do.

  • Could you post the exact error message ? Do you have any custom content or Store content installed ?

    I'm having this same problem too. I downloaded Late Night from Amazon.com last year, installed it and it worked fine. I uninstalled Sims 3 and successfully reinstalled the base game and Ambitions but for whatever reason whenever I try to open it now it says "No game disc found! Please insert The Sims 3 Late Night disc before proceeding." I am extremely unhappy because I cannot play at all and I've already uninstalled and installed the game and have a family going already. Please, tell me what to do.
