Sims 3 on Mac - No Game Disc Found
Hi guys,
I just bought a new macbook pro and I loaded my sims 3 game and all my expansions onto it; it all seemed to be going fine and the game was loading normally until I got to the game's menu screen and there was a pop up saying 'no game disc found', despite the fact that the game disc was in my cd drive.
Since then, I've tried the basic stuff like restarting, putting a different disc in, and downloading the digital versions of the games on origin; I've also started 3 chats with ea help. They suggested clearing the cache, uninstalling the games that were installed by disk and restarting...
Basically I'm technically incapable and I just want to play sims! Any suggestions would be really helpful.
Thanks so much!
Charlotte.
It is a known issue, you need to register your games in Origin, uninstall the EP and download and install the digital version.
