Sims 3 Seasons - No Disc Found

I installed the Sims 3 Seasons expansion pack onto my Windows 8 laptop a couple of days ago. I have played it a couple of times since and it has been fine however this morning I had to wait over an hour for the latest game update to install. And now that it has finally finished every time I click the play button on the Sims 3 launcher it keeps saying No Disc Found... but the disc is there! I have tried removing and replacing the disc, restarting my PC, etc, and still nothing.

I would like to avoid uninstalling and re-installing the game as I had already spent ages creating my sim and the house which is quite annoying to have to start all over again.

Please help!

    @Demilovesims The game was released in 2009 with SecuROM and SafeDisc for DRM. In 2012 Windows and OS X no longer support SecuROM and Safedisc. The DRM is now Origin. You need to update your game to Origin. Create an Origin account if you don't have one already. Redeem all your game/pack codes so they are registered in Origin. If you game is not at version 1.67, download the manual version 1.67 super patch and run it. At that point Origin should automatically update the game to version 1.69. This patch will disable/remove SecuROM and SafeDisc. You will no longer have an install limit and you will not need a disc to play the game.
