I've done everything and uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times but. [SOLVED]

Hi I'm kinda new here.

First of all, I would like to say a million thanks, thank you couldn't even describe how grateful I am because of your effort. You are awesome.

I hope it's not of a nuisance that I am asking you this, but I need a couple of confirmations.

I tried installing like you said, and it worked! I installed Outdoor stuff, Showtime and Island Paradise. and it worked. But then I wanted to install more expansion packs and stuffs and then it didn't work. it said invalid and a couple of numbers.

I uninstalled and reinstalled again, and I could open it, but it said that I need a disk.

Now I have uninstalled everything (except that master suite and a couple of other stuffs wasn't on my installed programs so I couldn't uninstall them but they were still on the program files, the files and everything else was still there) so I just deleted the files from the program files.

Am I making any sense?

I've installed and uninstalled like 3 times, what am I doing wrong? Do I have to install The Sims 3, update, do not apply cracks from ultimate fix, then install all the expansions that I want, and then apply the fix? Is it because that I installed outdoor stuff, showtime and Island Paradise and applied the fix that I can't make other expansions to work?

Please reply as soon as you can, this will be really appreciated.

Can you tell us what error you have got when running the game?

It said I needed to insert disk for Into the Future.

But I've already applied the ultimate fix (the updated one)

I'm currently reinstalling everything. After reinstalling everything, I'm going to apply the fix. Before this, I installed only 2 expansions, then applied the fix. and it worked. I wanted to install more expansions but then it didn't work anymore.  

the second time I reinstalled, I applied the ultimate fix to the base game first before installing the expansions.

Hello,

There was no need to reinstall everything just because of the "Insert Disc" error.
Install all the games you want first and then RE-DO step 3 and 4. RE-DOWNLOAD (Yes, again!) the Ultimate Fix: https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly

Do let us know the result.

dear admin, 

it worked!!!!! oh my gosh you dont know how happy I am. 2 days of no sleep and it paid off. i could just kiss you sobs. Thank you so much!

Hello there,

Glad to hear that did the trick. You're welcome.
Always remember to RE-DOWNLOAD the latest version of the Ultimate Fix, as an outdated crack can cause frustrating problems.

Anyway, it's solved now. Enjoy playing your game and please let us know if there's anything else we can help you with!
