Re: How do I install the disk version of Lazy Duchess's Smooth Patch? | Sims 3
@Splotchish That's strange. Did you install the base game in Origin? If so, you'd need to look in Program Files (x86)\Origin Games.
If that doesn't help, open a File Explorer window, click This PC in the left panel, and enter TS3W in the search field in the upper-right corner. The base game's Bin folder will have a copy of TS3W.exe, I mean it needs to for the game to work, and when you find it, click on it and select Open file location. That's the Bin folder where the Smooth Patch files need to go.
By the way, if you do launch the game through Origin, you need to follow the instructions for Origin installs. The fact that you used discs to install your packs doesn't matter; it's about how the game launches.
