Before attempting the following, be aware that piracy is a criminal offence.
None of the actions in this thread will infect your computer with viruses, it is completely safe and if you think there is then don't bother continuing.





As many people are interested in downloading it, instead of posting in the hundreds of threads in this forum how to download it etc then follow the guide and ask you questions here and you should have no trouble.

Ok, note it won't be a hour or two download even if you're on a 10000mb internet. The ratio of seeders:leechers isn't good at the moment. So expect maybe having to leave it on over night or something.

First of all, go to BitTorrent (http://www.bittorrent.com/btusers/download/?) or uTorrent (http://utorrent.com/downloads) and download either of them.
Once you have finished downloading either of them, install it.
When that is complete please go to http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4913181/The_Sims_3-Razor1911 and click 'DOWNLOAD THIS TORRENT' or click here (http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/4913181/The_Sims_3-Razor1911.4913181.TPB.torrent) to download it directly. (THIS IS THE FULL VERSION - This is what everyone will receive if they paid for it but of course people with the paid game will receive updates automatically that will have big features. When these come out then look around (or I'll post it) and you will be able to input it into your game)
Once you have successfully downloaded the torrent by either running or saving it. If you saved it open it and then a box with open showing a list of files.
You can change the directory where you want the files to be saved at the top, otherwise just click 'OK'
Now it will be visible in the torrent program you're using, now this is optional but has been proven to speed up your download. Right click the file and click 'Force Start'.
Right click it again and go to 'Bandwidth Allocation' and select 'High'.
Now again right click it and go to 'Properties'
Now in the box 'Maximum upload rate (kB/s): [0:default] change it from 0 to 1. This will make sure the upload rate is stays around 1kb and won't affect your download rate.

If you wish to buy the game legally (http://eastore.ea.com/DRHM/servlet/ControllerServlet?SiteID=eaemea&Locale=en_GB&Action=ContentTheme&pbPage=sims3uk&pgm=22505500&ThemeID=850300&Currency=GBP&resid=U@vFqQoHAkMAAG9oPAkAAAAJ&rests=1243540468793)

Now just wait a while for it to download, credits to me for making this guide.

Is this even legal to encourage piracy?!

[Jordan:A]

I'll +rep when downloaded and before I start to play it, thanks

[efq]

Who cares, I don't and I download tons of piratebay daily :P

[eight]

Would download it but it would crush my pc :'(

[efq]

Thank you, you reminded me of a link I should add for people to test if they can actually run it before they download it.

[Recursion]

Is it really worth it? It's pre release so it'll be missing stuff.

[efq]

It's the final, they can't change things that are in the final because that would mean re-calling all games and editing them or making new games.

What is in this is what anyone who pre-ordered will get. If you payed for it, EA can put an update on the first day that this won't have but you will be able to download off piratebay and input it in your game. You will be able to have all the features as someone who pays for it, just takes a little more work.

[Recursion]

Is one leaked a while back the final version too then? :S

[Blissa]

It's a good game, but the people who will be getting the full game will also be able to download a 2nd town 'Riverview' and they'll also be able to download things from the Exchange, which is a place where you can upload your own or download other peoples creations and add them to the game. Im not sure if you'll be able to do this with an unregistered copy, because it's connected up to an official EA website. They might find a way, but I doubt you'd be able to use the exclusive 'Sims Store' which is where you can buy new items like you can on Habbo for SimPoints, you get 1,000 free when you buy the game, which is another benefit.

[Stephen!]

Is one leaked a while back the final version too then? :S

The first one leaked and the second one leaked are both identical in terms of content. It just has a few bugs removed.

I would just wait until the retail copy is released and then pirate that.

[e5]

I can't get it it says lol:(

You can download these features on piratebay and put it in your sims :D

[Jordan:A]

Finished downloading, it wont start up though

[efq]

Finished downloading, it wont start up though
I had downloaded a different one to this on this laptop, I am currently downloading razors on this laptop and it will finish shortly. I can't tell you how to install it yet.

[Jordan:A]

Dont I have to do something with Alcahol 120?
I used that to play the Sims 2 when I downloaded it

[efq]

Mounting it possibly, I will have to see if its a ISO or just a .zip/rar. If its a .ISO mount it to Alcohol or Daemon Tools if its an extractable file then extract it to somewhere, install it and copy the crack over. There also might be a serial in the download.

[efq]

If you download Sims 3, you will need this keygen. http://www.mediafire.com/?lw2gjmzjlgm to give you a serial

[MadFrankie2007]

Mine seems to be taking a long, even though i did what you said :(

[efq]

It can take a while, thousands of people want this game but I've told you and i'll tell the others. Having the keygen ready for when the download is ready will save you A LOT of time. Because finding it on torrent sites gets harder as it gets lost in other Sim files. So if you like you can download one here http://www.mediafire.com/?lw2gjmzjlgm simple one which most EA piracy users would reconise :D

[VelvetClover]

I reckon I'll just buy the game but +rep for that "Can You RUN It?" link, really helpful website :)

[Recursion]

I bought it, got it on Preorder so GAME should ship it out for Thursday (usually get them a day before release) :]

[GommeInc]

They sent out an e-mail about order processes! So payment is accepted, just not taken (if that makes sense?). I had one Monday :D

[Angel-Light]

I'm still waiting on my e-mail. Meh I probs won't get it till Friday late anyway as post is so slow around my area :P

[Recursion]

Mine's been released for packing now :P

[efq]

If people have problems with piracy, no need to -rep me because 'they won't make any money and won't make more games'. If you got a problem then go to http://piratebay.org (http://piratebay.org/) and complain and see how far you get.

[GommeInc]

Mine's been released for packing now :P
Has yours been dispatched aswell? :D

[Dean]

You should just buy the game tbh, it's only fair. Don't be selfish to EA Games, they probably spent ages creating it, and it looks gorgeous! I'd buy it but I lack the money ahaa!

[MrGazet]

all passed cept video RAM -.-'

[GommeInc]

all passed cept video RAM -.-'
Mine's arrived :D I have fallen in love with the snazzy looking 2GB stick, so cool! With the collectors edition, they ship two boxes, one fillied with maps and stuff and the other with the game and controls. How awesome :D

What company did yours arrive with then? :P

[Recursion]

Awesome, mine came today from Game too! :) I didn't get the collectors edition though, a waste of money IMO :P

[GommeInc]

What company did yours arrive with then? :P
I have no idea, I got a box chucked at me while I was in bed. I think it was the Royal Mail, though not too sure.

[Recursion]

GAME went through Royal Mail.

[Zokoli]

Thanks for this!
+rep.

[Arron]

Aww don't download it :P

Be a man and buy it from argos/game etc. I have, I'm collecting it in a min.

[GommeInc]

I've just ordered another Sims 3 Collector's Edition. Ordered it before 1pm and it gets sent off very quickly ;)

It's not for me, it's for my brother's girlfriend. Would I be crazy enough to order two for myself? Hope not :P

[infatuation]

Is it just me or is the download itself incredibly slow? I got .2% in an hour.

[Shrlurp]

its very slow, took me about 100 hours lols.

anyway once it's downloaded what do i do?

[chantellehugs]

Don't you need to insert the disc to play? I'm confused with how this works with no disc. I got the normal edition last week, but T-Mobile currupted my laptop, including the DirectX Card, so it doesn't work properly. All I get is a black screen. I tried it on my school laptop, it works but crashes, so I'm just waiting for my better laptop to be fixed.

But yeah, someone explain how it works with no disc. :)

[infatuation]

It's a torrented version, and a torrent is like a download of the game, rather people make it so you can play it without a disc. However, like music, it is illegal downloading it.

[chantellehugs]

This is just for people who want to play the game? Not upload things, because it doesn't come with a different code on each download.

[J0SH]

No offence but this thread sucks, what's the point in posting a torrent with 0 seeders, which means it'll take about a year to download, go on Demonoid and get a proper link or something.
