Unauthorized copy of The Sims 3
My launcher is saying I am running an unauthorized copy of The Sims 3 - but I'm not, I bought the game about 4 years ago, but my laptop wiped and I've just reinstalled the game now.
I don't know what to do 😕mileysad:

Did you buy the DVD version ? Are you on a Mac or PC ? What's the exact error message you're getting ?
I don't know what you mean by the DVD version... but erm, the error is:
You are playing a non-final, unauthorized copy of The Sims 3.Purchasing and registering an official copy of The Sims 3 will entitle you to benefits including access to an entirely new game town called Riverview, 1000 SimPoints which can be redeemed for game objects in The Sims 3 Store, and access to The Sims 3 Exchange.I'm on a PC btwWhat I meant was if you bought the game as a digital download or if you have a physical disc.

What is your base game version right now ? Please post the full number.
To find out, open your launcher and hover over the little base game icon in the lower left part of the launcher.

For Macs: http://bluebellflora.com/ts3-on-a-mac/checking-which-patch-version-youre-runningWhat EP gives you that version number?
Where did you buy that disc ? That is looks like a pre-release version.
The first official game version was 1.0.631 also the ending 17 indicates that this is the download version and not a disc one. I don't think that's an official dvd you got there.
