Okay, since the game keeps asking for the disc, I am going to download the region 1 patch for the physical disc. If I download the wrong one and install it, can I uninstall that patch? And if so how.
@annie53 what has been advised and what will help you is to uninstall your latest EP / SP and then reinstall digitally.
Please follow the instructions linked by @Bluebellflora in her above posts and let us know how you get on
Okay, I followed all the directions. I downloaded Origins, I deleted generations, I downloaded generations from Origin, I downloaded and install the digital super patch, and then I ran my game. I am still getting the message that no disc is found and my game will not open and play. Where do I go from here? I really do not want to uninstall everything and then reinstall it because that cause more problems than ever because I lose everything that I created - my houses, my people, my patterns, and my downloads.
Any useful suggestions would really be appreciated since the one everyone else claims work doesn't work for me.
Completely uninstalling and reinstalling maybe the only option for you. Before you do so move your Sims 3 folder from Documents > Electronic Arts onto your desktop. All your saves, downloads, CC, Mods etc will be safe then for you to import into your clean install.
I dislike doing a complete uninstall and reinstall because basically it is a pain. I did finally get it working one time. I just saved it and quit. I will see if it will work next weekend when I will once again have time to just play. I'm hoping it will work again, so I will not have to contemplate a drastic move. Thanks for you time and help - I really do appreciate it.
