Sims 3 can't find \Bin. [SOLVED]

Hi, i tried installing The sims 3 base game. I did everything, what the #Installation Guide ordered me to do, but i stopped here:

9. When the Installation is completed, open the '# Crack' file in this .rar and Copy + Paste
the 'TS3.exe' to 'Game Directory > Game > Bin' and REPLACE it by the existing one.

I couldn't find location of this \Bin folder so i installed the last update and even then there were no such a folder.
Then i found the main guide of installing (on this site) and decided to install expansion pack (pets). I followed the #Installation Guide
and stopped again on:

4. When the installation has finished, open the "# Crack" folder in this .rar file and drag &
drop the "TS3W.exe" and the "TSLHost.dll" in there to exactly:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin (SO NOT THE EXPANSION'S INSTALLATION
FOLDER, BUT THE BASE GAME'S INSTALLATION FOLDER INSTEAD!!!)
 
And yes, i couldn't fild this location in The sims 3 file

What should I do?

Is that because i didn't install origin (do i need to do that to play the game?)

Hello and welcome to the G4TW Forums @Kaligula,

You can also search your computer for specific files. Go under "This PC" => Local Disk C: and then look towards the top right for a small windows saying "Search Local Disk C:". See my own example screenshot here:




Did you actually change anything during the installation of The Sims 3? Because if you install with default options, there should normally be a folder under the location, that is mentioned in the install guide.

I dit not change anything in the settings during the instalation (i chose deafult options)

Is there a desktop shortcut, maybe, of your installation?

Either way, if for some reason it doesn't work for you, try using a third-party tool to un-install...whatever has been installed on your end. G4TW has "Your Un-installer Pro" on the downloads list. Install the program, and run it. In the main window that comes up search for "The Sims 3" and double-click on it. Choose "Super Mode" and follow the on-screen instructions. Delete any remaining files if the program shows you any, at the end of the process. Finally re-boot the computer when it's done.

Then re-download The Sims 3, preferably with a different torrent client. Or, if you still have the torrent running as seeding in your client, you can also look for an option that says "Force (Re-) Check", which will check the file integrity of your download, and if needed, the torrent client will re-download damaged parts. When done, you could try re-installing again, then.

Ok, so i uninstalled the game using Your Un-installer pro (i used super mode) and downloaded the game once more using torrent, and this time everything worked properly. I also installed TS3 Pets and game works!

Thank You very much!
