[MAC] Sims 3 Island Paradise [ Edited ]

[forcoders]

When i load the game i get a pop up saying the game disc isn't inserted even though it is. Does anyone else have this problem? If so how can i fix it?

What's your operating system ?

I'm trying to use it with a mac.

After the most recent patch whenever I try to play the game it'll load until it gets to the menu page. Then a box pops up. It keeps saying it cannot verify the disc. This is the same disc I've used for ages. What's going on?

Hi,

After launching Sims I go through the regular steps without trouble; Click the play botton, go throughthe loading process.

However after arriving at the menu where you chose if you want to start a new game or restart an old one a pop-up screen appears that says that it can't find the CD and that I should put it in to proceed, even though it was just fine when I clicked the play button. The pop-up screen has only one way to exit: clicking the check mark which closes the game and needs to be reloaded.

I have tried a lot of things to make it work; checking the system requirements (I have Mac OS X El Capitan), REDOWNLOAD ALL MY GAMES and checking for problems in CD-tools.

The only conclusion I can come up with is that theres something wrong with my CD drive (which is connected by USB as Mac mini doesn't have a CD-drive of it's own). But that would be weird as it gets past the play-button and it worked just fine before.

I've had this problem once before, but it disappeared as soon as I downloaded a new expansion pack.

My other problems before this problems occurred where:

- Pets looking stretched

- game crashing when active sim being a pet and me telling it to do something.

Please help!

P.S: Sorry for ant weird describing of the game. I'm from Sweden and therefore my game is in Swedish which makes it hard to describe as it limits my knowledge of the English terms in the game

So I've been playing the Sims games since Sims 2 and I've always had little problems. But I just re-installed all of my Sims 3 on my Mac (in this order) The Base Game, Ambitions, Late Night, Pets, Town Life Stuff, Showtime, University Life, and finally Island Paradise. At first when I was trying to play my game I would try and start it and it said "Unknown Error Occurred" and wouldn't open. So I uninstalled Island Paradise and that was why it wasn't opening... BUT now I open it and it will get to the Families screen and there's a message that pops up and says 'No Game Disk Found! Insert The Sims 3 University Life to Proceed' (but I can see the Families behind the message). HOW DO I STOP THIS? I've made sure I have the right disk in and the disk IS IN. 

UPDATE 1 HOUR LATER 

Now it's saying Disk Authorization Failure Insert The University Life Disk.
