The Sims 3 Crack Problem? [SOLVED]

I downloaded sims 3 base game here and its works fine. But when I install the first EP and the first SP I get "insert disk" error when launch the game. I did everything (more than 1 times) in the install instructions txt file. By some chance  the Crack files are outdated or broken? I know that I can download the sims 3 complete collection here, but I really want to install the EPs/SPs bit by bit because sims 3 is new for me and I want to learn about the game gradually.

Did you re-apply the 1.67 patch? The most common cause of the EPs and SPS asking for a disk is forgetting to re-apply the patch along with the fixed game files.

This means to click in update (in the game launcher) after install the packs? I did it like described in the instructions.

I would recommend using the manual patch as described in step #2, here:
https://www.games4theworld.club/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly

But even if you updated through the launcher already, you need to use a compatible No-CD file as well. Please check again the guide I just linked to. In steps #4 and #5 it describes using the "Ultimate Fix". The No-CD files included in the (old) torrents, are outdated.
