the daughter received sims 3 for xmas. We are trying to load it onto her laptop (it is both pc and mac compatible) and we cannot for the life of us do it!! We have done put the disc in the drive, and the instruction booklet says "follow on screen instructions" but of course there are none. I am a Mac person so am seriously floundering with a flipping pc. Does anyone have any ideas?


many hanks

Open windows explorer, navigate to computer, right-click the dvd drive (should show sims 3) click on open.


Windows Vista and 7, hit the windows key or click on the orb, click on computer, windows 8 click on file explorer on the taskbar


Then follow the wizard, If you get stuck post up your issues....

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      By Sue · Posted

      Closing down completely. The lovely people there are all retiring. Thanks, but Deptford is a long way to go to make two journeys to  take and collect a car! Do they not do even relatively minor repairs if it fails its MOT first time? Then that would require four journeys 😭 Wondering if there's already a thread on here for garage recommendations? People on my road WhatsApp group have recommended some local ones. I'm particularly gutted because apart from the lovely people who worked there,  Dell was a five minute walk for me!

      Fireworks

      I did think that might be the reason, but five years out of seven it's going to be a weekday (I think. Not sure how leap years might affect things!)

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      Probably because the 5th was a weekday. We still have the weekend to come. Also, some fireworks going off nearly every night for the last few months. Last night something was being let off that made a very deep booming noise every 10 seconds or so. That said, if the general public are beginning to see the harm done by firework noise and choosing to use low noise options and refusing to support organised events that still use the full throttle type, I for one would be very happy. Does anyone know if the Herne Hill Velodrome Halloween fireworks event used low noise options?
