Sims 3 without expansion pack disc
Do I need to insert a disc to play The Sims 3 and its expansions?
If you purchased and installed The Sims 3 and its expansions by disc, you will need to insert a disc each time you play. In this case, use the disc for the most recent expansion that you installed. If you use an earlier disc, you will receive an error message asking you to insert your disc.
I lost my disc for my most recently installed expansion, is there any way i can play without it?
You need to have uninstalled the Island Paradise disc version and downloaded and installed it from Origin, then downloaded and installed the patch for the digital version of the game.
