The Sims 3 + All Addons + Patch v1.63

[KaktoR]

• CIU v3.0.0.0u3 Script
• DiskSpan by Razor12911
• Music taken from Original Game Soundtrack.
• Pics taken from google and ingame (screenshots).

• Compression time: 2 hours
• Installation time: 10 minutes
• This version comes without GUID's and InstallShield Installation Information's, as the game is playable fine without this keys/files and updates will be not released anymore
• Before installing, you have to enter your CD Keys into "Setup.ini", which you can find in "conversion folder\Setup" (or if you already did compression: "conversion folder\Output\Sims 3 DVD1")
• If you want to install additional stuff like mods or store stuff, simply compress the archive manually and add the archive to "Setup.ini" [ExtractSettings] (maybe you have to change the path)

1. Download and extract the archive to somewhere (over the rainbow~)
2. Start DiskSpan.bat, type in GameDir, press Enter
3. Wait for finish
4. Have fun

As always test before burn on DVD!
Extract archive with WinRAR5+ or latest 7-zip!

Yes, but if you add extra stuff (see start of script) 8xDVD5 is not guaranteed anymore (depending on size of extra stuff)

Thank you so Much for this amazing and hard work!
A lot of reg entries after and I made this work like a charm!

I create a main folder called "The Sims 3 Deluxe" to compress base game + all addons and DLCs

Then I have the following structure folder:

X:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 Deluxe\

Inside this there are the game base and all DLCs folders.

I compressed too Electronic Arts folder from My Documents and all InstallShield folders.
I forgot to exclude Support folders.

So, I got 7 DVDs:

DVD1 = 4.37 GB
DVD2 - DVD6 = 4.35 GB
DVD7 = 491 MB

I'll share my installScript from The Sims 3 Brazilian Portuguese (Português do Brasil) if somebody wants to use.
Only thing to do is to change the serials in Serial Section (XXXXX values to your keys).

Thank you again for this work and I hope to help too!
