Hallo...

Sorry, my english is bad but I have a problem and I hope someone can help me...
I installed The Sims 3 with PlayOnLinux on my Computer... The game is running but when i have to choose a town it stops and i see a request that i have to take the disk into the drive :( I have the original game and when i start the sims 3 the disk is in the drive :( i hope you can understand me^^

Despite fact that you've got original game you have to use crack to get the game running.

Thanks, but i dont know how to install a crack :(

I cannot explain you. It's illegal.

I don't think it is illegal, at least don't in most countries.
But yeah, France with HADOPI and everything.. ^^

Cracking a game is illegal (in many countries), that's why the Sims 3 installer script doesn't apply a craked .exe by itself I presume.
But at least, let me give you a few hints. The cracked exe provided by the RELOADED hacker team works fine for me. NEVER install the EA Downlaod Manager. (Not even under a wiondow$ system). And the last one: Don't use the Sims 3 launcher.
If you are looking for a crack file, download it together with a game. It is safer. AND it is illegal, so don't do that. :D
