    Having the same problem! I bought University Life today and a window popped up saying it had installed. (I also have Island Paradise) So then I clicked play and it said 'No disk found please insert Island Paradise before proceeding' I am VERY disappointed with the sims 3!

    @Kwarring : This has been repeated so many times, You need to run the game with the LATEST disk. In your case Island Paradise. DO not run the game with the LATEST installed Pack. The game is engineered to run off the LATEST EXPANSION or STUFF PACK regardless of installation order.

    I get that the latest EP out is the "Play disk" so to speak, but I have recently installed ambitions and I understand that I will have all the furniture and clothes from it but I want to play in the "life" of ambitions be able to acctually go inside the salon etc, if I use Sims Seasons like my computer wants I won't be able to do the things using the seasons disk as I would if I could use the ambitions disk.

    You obviously don't get it. It's all one game - you don't play the features separately. Whatever you have installed, you have access to at any time.

    To clarify using your example, the doors to the salon are not going to be locked because you started the game with another disk. Heck, if that was the case, I wouldn't have access to anything in my game since I use a no-CD mod that allows me to start my game without any disk whatsoever. The building is still the same building with the same interactions.
    It's just that now your Sim can step into the salon from out of the rain or snow. Your Sim can take shelter in the salon from scorching or subzero temperatures. *shrug*

    Basically you have to follow the installation order.
    So you put the latest released which is Into The Future.

    @maisylankford: Your game is telling you to use the UNIVERSITY disk as that is the latest released expansion/stuff pack you own. All the content from Latenight and any other Expansion/stuff pack you have is still present in your game.

    Edit: Removed rant.

    You have three options:

    1) Uninstall it
    2) Buy your own
    3) Buy and install an EP or SP released after IP (Movie Stuff or Into the Future)

    This is why you are supposed to buy your own copies.

    "This is why you're supposed to buy your own copies"
    I used my sister's copy of island paradise and now I'm back at college and don't have the disk. This is literally the most ridiculous way to run a game company. One family should not have to buy two or three copies of a game in order to play it on more than one computer. No one wants to waste money like that. I'm about 100% sick of EA and their nonsense.

    My game is doing this also... and I realize that you have to insert the disk that is the latest update and mine would be into the future I am trying to insert the sims 3 only or the supernatural since these are the only three games of the sims that I have. My problem is that... I have recently moved.. and I lost my sims into the future game.... so I can not insert this into my computer to play.... I cant go out and buy a new game and I cant play any of my other games without this one... so Im not sure how to fix my problem... can anyone please help because I really just want to play my game that I spent a fortune on...

    If you have origin, it should be in the library. So you can just uninstall the disc and re-download the digital copy from Origin.

    Hi I HAVE 2 PROBLEMS!!!!
    1. A few weeks ago i bought the sims 3 starter pack which came with the sims 3 late night and high end loft stuff. I can get Late night to work but i cant get high end loft stuff to work PLEASE HELP how do i get it to work? :mrgreen: :roll:

    2. I also bought the sims 3 Island paradise and its working then a few weeks later i bought Seasons when i installed it, it worked then i wanted to play it so i pressed play. It said "no disk found! Please insert the simstm3 Island Paradise game disk before proseeding. WHAT DO I DO??!!??!!??!!??!!

    Then you do what the game asks, which is put in the Island Paradise disk. Why in 2014 are people still not understanding this. The latest Expansion Pack or Stuff pack that was released by EA, NOT when you bought it, but WHEN EA released it is what you use to play with and all the content from every previous pack you had installed will still be there and work seamlessly as one.

    For example you bought Into the Future then Seasons then University, you install them all. But since Into the Future was released AFTER the other two you play with that disk. If you don't want to travel to the future then DON'T, I don't I just keep it installed for the objects. DON'T accept the opportunity when the Time Traveler shows up, click on the portal, send him back then sell the portal or move it to your inventory. You will still have weather in the game AND be able to go to University using the Into the Future disk, once you have them installed you can't choose to play only Seasons and nothing else, they all run TOGETHER!!!!
