Can You Play Sims3 on an Acer E5 Aspire 575?

[claireb0902]

I need to know how to download Sims3 from disc onto an Acer E5 Aspire 575. I followed all instructions in the game casing and on multiple websites, but the ShieldWizard would never fully download the game? Is it because my computer is incompatible? Or did I just happen to buy a faulty disc?

That laptop should play it fine on lower settings. It seems you may have a faulty disk. Try to download the game from the SIMS website and then use the game code that came with the game you bought.

I followed the link, and now Steam is trying to make me buy the game again. I already bought it, on disc. There's no "download" button on Steam, and I cannot find it on the Sims website.

if the game is on the disk, and there is no key, then there is no download.
where did you bought the game from? might want to return it.

There is a key, I just cannot fully download the game, it starts to download then just stops. It's a Sims3 Starter Pack (includes Base Game, High-End Loft, and Late Night)
I received the game as a gift, but I'm guessing it's from Target seeing as that's were I pointed it out and said I wanted it.
