@snowluv:  What's in the zip folder?  We can't help you make sense of it if you don't tell us.


Gosh, Phyllis. I am surprised you're still hanging out here. But here goes.... dxwebsetup.exe   application   Oct.2007
                                                                                                        vccredist_86.exe                    11/17/2008           
                                                                                                         data.tptb                              May   2009
                                                                                                        data 2                                    May 2009
                                                                                                        data 3                                   May 2009
                                                                                                        data 4                                   May 2009
                                                                                                        data 5                                   May 2009
                                                                                                        reg.dll                                    March 2001
                                                                                                        regsetup.dll                            May 2009
                                                                                                        setup.bat                               May 2009
                                                                                                        tptb.dll                                  April 28 2009
                                                                                                        tptb.exe                                May  2009                             

Obviously, I am missing something because I do not see a Sims3.exe and one of the .exe files is dated October 2007 . Is that from a program this person uses in order to create a torrent? I checked the comments left for this download and everyone there seems to know what they are doing and are playing the game as I continue to bang my head upon my desk.  Do I extract the files from the zip to my desktop and burn it all to disc then install from the disc?  Or am I just screwed for being such a noob?

@snowluv -- I live here :-)  I are Senator, after all ;-)

I don't know for sure, but it looks like your download might have some kind of self-extracting thing associated with it.  You might click setup and see what happens (unless someone wiser than I advises against it).  I know that when I downloaded mine, it came in about 55 RAR files, and in order to create the iso I had to unRAR them all together.  After all that unRARing, I got the iso, and two other files -- .svc and .nfo, if I recall.  So ... I'd extract from zip, try setup and see what you get.

SciBirg:
Try opening the tptb.exe file in WinRAR and see what happens. It looks like a self-extracting RAR-archive (or equivalent).

Rockermonkey:
None of those seem like a game file...is the zip file like this: rld-sim3.r(##)? If so it's probably real that I'd know of...
