As i go through the process of installing i thought there will be no problem in the installation. But when i started playing the game that's when the problem occur. The problem is that there is a pop-up window saying 'DISC. AUTHENTICATION FAILURE'. So what i did i look for some video tutorial in Youtube with the same problem with Sims 3 - World Adventures. But it's hard to find a one particular video that focus only on Sims 3 - World Adventures on how to fixed the problem. That is the reason why i post a message in your forum. To ask help on how to fixed the problem. Please help me. I hope for your reply to my message. 

By the way i'am using Windows 7.

Can you at first use the "manual patch" to update your base game to the latest version ?   Get the links here:

Problems that occurs:
1. Crack #3 there was a problem. A pop-up window appears saying "DFC GORILLA ERROR INVALID FILE FOUND.
2. At the end of the installation. When you started playing Sims 3 - World Adventures. There still a pop-up window saying "DISC. AUTHENTICATION FAILURE"

Is it possible if i downloaded another Sims 3 - World Adventures from torrent. Do you think it will work if i installed it. Please help me!!!

Thank You!!!

Good Evening

Regarding on the installation of all Expansions Pack. I just want to ask which instruction i will follow. Aside from the instruction given here in the forum. Question is do i have to follow also the instruction that is included in the game. And i also notice the difference on the instruction given here in the forum. Here in the forum said that we have to skip all the #Cracks if we are installing the expansion while in the instruction included in the game they are asking to open the cracks. I'am confuse about this 2 instruction. Please   me. 

Thank you!!!

Please ignore the instructions and the cracks inside the expansions.   They are outdated. So now you managed to install "World Adventures" ? There's no need to crack that expansion.

Instead can you go on with installing the other expansions that I mentioned in my first reply ? You need to have AT LEAST ONE of them - or you can just install all of them too - as you wish.

See my first reply.   Also, please, keep all the discussions in THIS topic only, and don't open new threads on the same issue.

I just want to ask. Is it okay if i apply the manual patch everytime i downloaded and install an expansion pack.

Thank You!!!

If you want, you can do that, but it shouldn't be essential. It's more than sufficient if you just install all the expansions you want. And THEN, when you are done with that, apply the manual patch once again. After that apply the Ultimate fix, and you're good to go.
