Similar to others, I can play music CDs and watch DVDs on my laptop, but TS3 will not reload the game from the disc and I have to download from Origin, which I do not want to do, because they automatically patch to 1. Its like Apple getting caught slowing down old iPhones.
I'll download Candy Crush or something! The patch is not killing everyone's game. If for whatever reason the patch is causing issues, there is something--possibly system settings or mods--that could be creating a conflict with the patch.
If you're having problem with the patch, there are many threads here and on Google or Bing that you could look up to see what could be causing the problem.
The version 1. Some computer optical drives have had issues reading the disc. This is because of the way the discs were created with copy guard. A common method of copy guard is to write an extra sector s that all most optical drives can read but can not write. Some optical drive manufacturers seem to not be able to read these track s all the time if at all. Replacing the optical drive with a different manufacturer usually fixes the issue.

New installs now are required to be in Origin since November Annmarie It might be a problem with the reader in your laptop—not all disc drives read Sims 3 discs correctly.
The easiest solution is to register your code in Origin and download the game—you then won't need a disc to play. Annmarie You can use the code that came with the disc, as long as you haven't used it before. If you have, just login to Origin with that account, and Sims 3 will already be in your library. If you used the code on the Sims 3 Store site, the same applies—the store and Origin share information, so you should already have an Origin account with your store email and password.
Annmarie There's no way to get a new code, aside from buying the game again. But if you used it, the game will still be on that account. Just login to Origin with whatever email and password you used when you registered the game, and download it from your game library. What I ended up doing to finally get it to work was opening the disc tray, and I took a sock, and gently brushed it over everything.
Kinna like dusting it off. So try dusting it off? Yes the computer has only one drive and I've inserted it into that drive which is a DVD drive. It's an LG drive and I'm looking around to see if it's possible to update the firmware. Also since the disc works on my other computer I'm making a backup iso of the disc and mounting the image on the computer that doesn't read the disc.
That's a possible option for anyone else who has this problem. Citris 12 years ago 7. I tried dusting everything off, blew some compressed air into the drive to get rid of some dust Citris: It might just be the disc then. You should take it back and exchange it for another copy.
