Base Game Installation?

Iv'e followed the whole install process from your install thread, cracked and replaced files the dll / exe file, but when i go to start the game it prompts me to verify my game key, and keeps prompting me to do so?

Did i somehow crack it incorrectly or? help?

did NOT install with origin.

Hi there,

First of all, apologies for the late reply.
You probably copied the crack files to the wrong folder. Please do as follows to fix your problem:

Open the "# Crack" folder in the .rar file you downloaded and then copy + paste (or drag & drop) the "TS3.exe" file in there to exactly: C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin  (Default installation location)  and REPLACE it by the existing one.
The game should work fine now, good luck!
