[MAC] Sims 3 Generations Installation problem.

I have had Sims 3 games installed on my computer for a while. I do not use origin simply because I lost my serial numbers. But I have all the disks. So I just use my disk drive to install my games. ...

Hi @Jordynn4633,

If you update your Mac to OS X El Capitan, you won't be able to use the discs to play anymore, you should register your games in Origin and install them from there in orde to play.

@fons_garmo, my Mac is having trouble updating to Mac El Capitan. So I don't think thats the problem if I'm still on OS X.

  @Jordynn4633,
  
  You said you were updating to OS X El Capitan so I thoughy you did it 🙂
  
  Can you try the disc on another Mac/PC? Seems like a disc failure to me.

    Yeah sorry about that... :d
    I can try on my PC but I would prefer my Mac just because I use it more often.
    Do you know of anyways of how to solve disk error? @fons_garmo
