Okay, so I found The Sims 3 after checking the "No CD needed" option and was able to commence with the installation; however I had several errors which prevented the game from installing.
The first error directed me to change /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope to 0, as well as set kernel.yama.ptrace_scope=0 in the folder /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf. I was able to do that just fine.
A little while later, I got several more errors which are beyond me:

That's all of the errors I got. I was trying to install from the game DVD, if that makes a difference. I did not change any default locations; I just let the installer do it's thing. I tried to send an error report, but it wouldn't work and kept saying my login credentials were wrong.
Is there anything I can do to clear up these errors?
