Extract the THE.SIMS.3.NODVD.EXE Patch from the File Archive to the game directory. Execute the Patch to remove the DVD-Check. Note: Will only work with Patch v1.21/v1.22+ which include the TS3W.EXE file! The Sims 3 v1.22.9 MULTI No-DVD/Fixed EXE:. This patch is only necessary if you're on a disc install, or an Origin install onto a mac. (In both these cases, it should be run before you start playing.) But if you install via Origin into Windows, you automatically land on patch 1.69. If you install via Steam, you get a fully patched version 1.67. Either way, the Super Patch will do nothing.

If you have any problems after installing patch - Go to my documents/Electronic Arts/Sims 3 Drag the Sims 3 folder to the desktop. Launch a new game and test. If this fixes the problem SAVE the test game and exit.
- Below you find the current manual patch links. This patches are NOT for Steam Users. Steam has it's own update system. If you have any troubles with the smaller incremental patch (like the Invalid File Found error), use the bigger Superpatch. If you are at a lower version than 1.66 right now, also use the super patch.
Today we get yet another small patch. It’s to make sure CAW is working again. This update has also stripped the download versions of the EPs/SPs of SecuRom. This means that you will need to update to 1.69, should you want to install the EPs through Origin.
If you want to stay at 1.67, you need the pre-Sept 2002 disc version and all expansions on disc.
If you update to 1.69, please update your game again and use the 1.69 version of CAW posted her: CAW
If you decided to stay at 1.67, you don’t need to do anything. Do NOT download this new CAW version or it could mess up your worlds.

The whole purpose of this patch is to make the game more compatible with Origin and to add a new feature: Expansion and Stuff Pack Manager. There are no changes to the game code itself.
This patch is offered through Origin and not the launcher so if you don’t have Origin, it won’t be offered to you. It’s also not for Mac and not for the Steam Version.
If you don’t want to update, make sure to turn off automatic updates in Origin. This patch is optional and it’s your choice if you want to install it or not. There are consequences for the download version which I have described in the other post linked above.
