sims 3 wont launch

I have all the Sims 3 DVDs and I just got a new laptop that required me to get an external DVD player - the previous one I played on had a built in player. I just spent hours installing all the expansions just for the game to not launch. I put in the CD, and the game launcher itself is fine, but when I press the Play button the launcher dissapears and my mouse has the little blue launching circle for a couple seconds before dissapearing and nothing happens. The game won't load. I don't know what to do because I bought the external player just for this game and wasted hours of my life, for literally nothing. I tried for ages to fix it in the files and at this point I'm scared that I've tampered with them too much and broke the game even more. Please send help.
