@BonnieLM777 I understand all of that, but there really isn't a way to fix a DVD drive that isn't cooperating. If you're still stuck, I stand by my suggestion to experiment with other drives, perhaps borrowed from friends or family members so you don't have to spend money on another product that might not work.
It sounds from your most recent post on the NRaas site that you might have fixed this, in which case, I'm glad you can go back to playing.
Not yet unfortunately, lol, but I'm going to take it to the computer shop and let them take a look at it tomorrow and hopefully they can figure something out to get the drive to read those discs-I was having issues with the drive before, the main reason why I don't really want to go to all digital versions was that I installed up to Island Paradise about 2 and a half years back and origin did update it to the 1.69 patch, but it really slowed the game down considerably-which was why I did the complete uninstall and reinstall of the game then but only installed up to Seasons, I've gotten more Ram and a new video card since then but I don't want to take the risk.
