problem with sims 3 island paradise

hi guys ..

i know that has been asked before .. sorry

i have sims 3 island paradise, when i setup it always says " the sims 3 needs to updated before this product can be instelled. setup will now attempt to update the sims 3 "

and i open support/updates/ TS3_1.55.4.0220xx_update says " the setup has detected that no version of the sims 3 installed. this update requires that a previous version of the application be installed "

i have tried before download TS3_1.67.2.0240xx_update but i get the same answer.

i use windows xp and i bought the sims 3 DVD also i download origin.

please help me ... i have this problem over a month ago 😕mileysad:

    Check if you have the base game in programs(x86)\electronicarts or in programs(x86)\Origin_Games.

    Then set the path in Origin to the same folder.

    there is one about what you are talking about in (H:\The Sims 3 - Island Paradise\# Crack)

    and one in ( C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Contents\Resources\Patch1\Data\Contents\Resources\transgaming\c_drive\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin )

    Sorry but we're not helping people who torrent the game. That is stealing.

    I'm locking this. If you have issue with a game you actually got legally, feel free to open a new thread. PM me if I misunderstood this.
