Which FIX did you download, try to give us a little more information on what you downloaded and what you did, so that we may help you better. Know that patches 1.32, both versions are still bugged. These are the official updates released by EA; if this is not your case plese do post more information on what you have done this far.
Thanks!

Is this where the crack is supposed to be:

Dear lilikitten, you need to follow the instructions that come with the official G4tW fix. There is nothing from our fixes that goes in the gameplay folder, they do go in the bin folder! Your folder should look like this:[img][/img]

so it goes in the UI folder
I'M SO CONFUSED
why doesn't mine look like that one ^

it goes in ProgramFiles(x86)/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Game/BIN

Yeah I know and I put it there and it still don't work

so could you like be a bit of better help than just saying what the installation guide says.

Hello,

Please post a screenshot of the folder where you put it in now.
If the problem still persists, please open your own topic, so we could provide more personal support.

Here is where it is now!
I don't seem to have all of those resources shizzle in this folder but they are in my ep packs folder

Hello,

That folder is the correct one, but you're missing like almost all files.
Please uninstall The Sims 3, restart your PC and then reinstall the base game and try again.
If you have any more problems, open your own topic. Thank you.

I have opened my own topic
I have the missing files, they are in one of my other ep folder
should I move them over ?

I'm patched to 1.31 (due to the 1.32 thread saying not to patch), and I installed the Master Fix originally, but I got the "no disc" error upon startup, so I installed instead the crack that came with the Showtime download, and that got me the "Stopped Working" error. Is there any other information I should give you?

The ULtimate Fix is the last thing that should go into those folders and nothing else.
This is the way I've done it and it works like a charm, taking out EAs bugs. Make sure you do not have the NOCD MOD is already integrated in the fix. Yo follow the instructions step by step for the base game ans EPs you have installed at the end, you apply the crack and it should work just fine. The Admin has better experience in dealing with these problems, me. I have gone as far as doing a backup of my EA my documents folder, removing it and letting the game produce a new one and then I replace all my downloads, my saves, saved sims and everything else that was not created anew and at las my ini.package where all my custumized in game items go. Then I try the game without my mods and see if it works. If it works, I place back the Mods folder, clear the cache and see how it works, if it gives me problems, this time around, I know is inside my CC folder and I start looking for the culprit. Try the non drastic way first and then let the ADmin take a look if it does not work, before you try what I do, ok!

I'm sorry if this isn't the correct area to post this question - I'm new.

I just got done installing The Sims 3 :Showtime. I applied to crack correctly - however, I'm getting the "no game disc" error when I start my game. I'm unsure as to how to fix this problem.
I updated, just as the installation guide suggested.

Some help would be greatly appreciated. :-)
Thank you

What is your game version showing? 1.31 or 1.32

Thanks, I figured out what I did wrong.

You're great!!!!! Ty so much for your great work!

I have a quick question. Where's the file that I'm suppose to mount in order to play? With DAEMON tools, I searched in the Showtime, Ultimate Fix, and the Base Game files but it couldn't find anything to mount. I've already tried to play the game without mounting but the "Disk Needed" message always pops up. Or am I doing something completely wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you forgot to put the crack from the #Crack folder in the Ultimate Fix into the base game directory

I just tried that and it still gave me the disk authentication message.

Yes I just downloaded the game and I am still currently seeding to help out other people. I am using bittorrent and as soon as it finished downloading it won't even open or read the file. I am new to downloading the games but I have all the other current and most recent games and it is updated to the most current version so I don't know what the problem is. Please help anyone? I am dying to start playing this game.

you can just unrar it where you downloaded it.

How do I unrar it?

Lyndicals do you have Winrar? Can you post a pic to see wat the file looks like
