Maybe your computer doesn't have the right requirements. Also your disc may be scratched or damaged.
Your computer does not meet requirements, or the game might be broken.
yes you do or it wont work :)
No
In the Sims 3, your computer has to have a lot of space (GB), and it needs to have a new video card. I bought the Sims 3 when it came out, and my computer couldn't support it either. I suggest buying a newer computer, but when you do, ask a professional about the space, and about the video card.
Your computer may not reach the sims 3 system requirements, or something is wrong with the disk.
The Sims 1 will work on any laptop or computer, it requires a low computer spec. However, Sims 2 and 3 will require a better performance computer such as a gaming laptop.
You can download it on your home screen but you have to download the sims 3 game first on your computer before you download the game or else it wont work. But you also have to run a system on your comuter called Origin. (Or any other computer downloading system.) which will also allow you to run the sims 3. Then you can download the sims 3. (Just informing you) The download on the sims 3 might take awhile. ( 3 hours.) (This is only if you are ok with having to pay for the download or if you have the disc to the sims 3. you must also have the disc for the game you want to play.)
no if u opened it
first off, the ONLY WAY to have it work is if you get sims 2 or sims 2 deluxe for pc. install it, it'll work, and then try sims 3. ask any gamestop worker, you'll see. when i did it this way, it worked!
try to uninstall the sims 3 then try to reinstall it. if you still have problems then you can go to the sims website and they have people you can call or e mail
No itried to do that i stalled on my laptop and it wont work without the disc
yeah! the sims 3 is a great game. as long as your computer meets all of the system requirements the game will work great
