Hello Allison, I don't know how Minty will feel about you posting for technical help but can I recommend right now that you edit your post to remove your email address. Otherwise you could be signing up for a lot of spam heading to your inbox!
The cynic in me says we will not here from this person again once she gets what she wants, like every other time.
But having been subjected myself today to people being less than helpful, I am somewhat in the mood to do a random act of kindness to offset my desire to commit less than random acts of extreme gratuitous violence.
(The gratuitous violence comes tomorrow if that washing machine isn't installed!)
First of all Allison, do you have the games installed? If yes,
you do not need the discs.
You need Twallan's No CD mod, something EVERY Sims player that has disc versions of the game should use to save wear and tear of those precious discs.

You download it, you stick it in your packages folder, and from now on run the game from the following:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\TS3W.exe
[Good work Ollie on removing that e-mail address!]

No I dont have the game installed because like i said when i had uninstalled it, i tried to reinstall roxioburn the same time and didnt have the disc and my games wont read now... and i will be back... this is one forum site i've found that i actually LIKE and wouldnt mind coming back to lol
P.S. - thanks and good call on the e-mail. I just thought some people might respond to that cause literally nothing and i mean NOTHING i have found has helped me... I'm just trying to decipher if i need a new disc drive because dvd's that used to work also don't now too or if i need to reinstall roxio burn and if it's that that's causing the issue. Then i'll be back gaming and i've been playing since the original game lol
Though if you are using a Mac don't bother trying to use Origin because I don't believe that it does support macs.
Trying that now... thanks for the tip. Forgive me if it takes a bit to come back and tell u if its worked or not. Have a busy few days coming up but im going to try now before i go to bed. Thanks again ladies =)
Ok so making an account was easy enough, now i just have to figure out how to download with my serial numbers. Do u know exactly how to do it?
Nvm... I got it lol... I should be gaming again in the amount of time it takes for all of my games to download!!!!! YAY =) Thanks again for everything ladies and I'll let ya know soon how it worked.
Still waiting on the games to download. Most of the expansions i have are at about 70 % but the sims 3 itself is only at 48% cause it's the biggest of the games... Anyway i should be simming again in a matter of a day or two max. Thanks so much again ladies and I'll be back on once im up and gaming again =)
