Unable to find C:\Program Files (x86)\The Sims 3\Game\Bin

when i search for ' C:\Program Files (x86)\The Sims 3\Game\Bin ' it says there aren't any matches, but i am able to find
' C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin '


does it matter if i copy the crack files to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin instead of the other one?

---I really dont want to go through with the alternative method

//EDIT

also sorry for posting this here, this isn't a in-game problem

The "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin" one is the one your suppose to put it into, where did you get the info to put it in "C:\Program Files (x86)\The Sims 3\Game\Bin"?

So yeah, apply it there.

Edit: Oh found out on the How to install The Sims 3 Correctly Page, I'll notify Admin of it.

Edit again: Wait that means everyone who done it said they did it correctly, didn't since it was wrong. XD

thanks a bunch, would you happen to know why my screen goes blank while loading?

//EDIT

Also, since this is from TPB are we able to use simport and the online achievements stuff?

Please edit your post instead of replying, if there have been no other replies.

Do you have any expansions yet? If so, which ones?

You need at least one registered game to use most of the online connectivity, but I'm not entirely certain what all you could use without one, since I have registered games. I think you can get achievements though. I know you can't use simport without a legit game, sadly.
