Sims 3 cracks but no programme file (x84)

Hello,
I have downloaded and installed all expansions however reading the unltimate fix it states i need to place files in C:\Programme Files (x84)\The Sims 3\Game\Bin however I do not have this in the C:\ area I only have programme files?? Please help, I have successfully installed these files on another pc but on this one I have the missing programme files (x84).

Many Thanks in advance

what operating system are you using ? like windows xp or vista or 7 because the (x84) shows up when you have 64 bit systems on vista or 7 and i know because i have windows 7 home premium 64 bit.

Hello,

Yes, then it's just in: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin

x86 simply refers to the 32 bit program files on a 64 bit operating system. For example, I am using Windows 7 64 Bit OEM, I have Program Files which is where all of my 64 bit programs should be installed, and I have Program Files (x86) where all of my 32 bit programs should be installed. If you are running a 32 bit operating system then your games will likely install to Program Files, unless you were to specify another install directory such as C:\Games or some other custom directory.

to save from confusing you:

C:\ is simply your primary Hard-drive.

She wasn't asking what C:\ refers to. She was saying she couldn't find the Program Files (x86) directory, which is a 64 Bit directory, where as Program Files is both a 32 Bit and 64 Bit directory.

oh... ok then... oh i see >> i misread her question as "I do not have this C:\ area". sorry about that xD i'll shut up now >>

Thanks for you support guys,
One further problem, my system in C:\Programme File\Electronic Arts does not have the sims 3 only it has all the expansions but not the orginal, I have the orginal game installed but its not showing the file,
So confused as I say I have installed all on another system however this one I'm having problems

Hello,

Did you change the installation folder for the base game during its installation wizard?
Or did you install a version of an other uploader?
