Help Installing... moving TS3 from#crack to The Sims 3\Game\Bin

Im unable to find the "TS3.exe" file in #crack. Instead I can only find TS3W, TS3W update and TSLHost.

So for the installation guide found in the base-game's folder I cannot complete step 3. 

"3. After the installation finished, open the "# Crack" folder in this .rar file and drag & drop (or copy) the
"TS3.exe" file in there to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin  and choose "Replace"
on the popup that appears, telling you the file already exists."

In other words, theres nothing to replace

Hello and welcome to the forums.

You don't need a TS3.exe, hence why it's not there. I guess the Installation Guide is outdated. Just copy and replace TS3W and TSLHost to the said folder and you're good to go.

Hi there,

You're referring to the Installation Guide in the "The Sims 3: The Complete Collection" download. That one Installation Guide in the "The Sims 3 base game" folder is wrong. That one step shouldn't have been there.
Just install the base game, update the game and then apply the included crack. That should do.

If that didn't work, install one of the expansion/stuff packs too, and then try to start the game again. That should fix the issue.
