Help my sims 3 game will not start

Have you tried smashing it with a hammer? hmm...


Did you try cleaning the disk?


Also if there is no game disk found...how did it know you wanted to play sims 3? And not some other game?

Maybe try taking it out and putting it back in again, cleaning it, checking it on another computer, restarting your computer, checking you've got enough memory and graphics, etc. on your computer.

Failing that, in the intructions booklet near the front or back it should have advice for problems such as this. (It did in my The Sims 2 anyway)

I have that game! Probably graphic glitches. Mine had graphic glitches once, so it wouldn't play, and when i turned it on again later, half of the screen was black, and the half that you could actually see was all glitchey, but its fine now :) try turning off your xbox for a few minutes then turning it back on.

Try opening the game though Origin.

Download Link: link (Safe I promise! EA and Origin work together)

Make an account (If you don't already have one)

Then, There should be an option to redeem a game key on Origin and you'd simply put your Sims 3 code into that.

After that, go into "My Games" and click on your game!

Hope that works! :)
