I will make it simple here:

(1) Download and install Daemon Tools Lite.
(2) Open the folder where you have extracted the base game .rar.
(3) Right-click StartDisk.iso and choose "Properties".
(4) In the General tab, if the file is not set to be opened with Daemon Tools Lite, click "Change" and go to the folder for the installation of Daemon Tools Lite and choose DTLite.exe.
(5) Click "Apply" and then "OK".
(6) Run StartDisk.iso.
(7) When you are prompted to insert Disk 1, choose "Browse" and choose Disk1.iso.
( 8 ) Click Ok to proceed.

Look...I have download The Sims 3 - Razor1911 MAXSPEED ...I have winrar to extrack files i have extrack it all files when i install the game towards the end says that Direct X version does not update after install....SOrry for annoying you!

I think you should either:

(1) redownload the base game torrent from   


(2) Re-extract the torrent again. This time when you are at the extracting option interface, check the box "Keep Broken Files". If this doesn't work, I think you need to redownload the torrent from Games4theworld.

I will not leave this topic open unless you have no issues with the installation of the base game and the expansion packs/stuff packs at all.
