Whenever i try to install the sims three this error message appears?

[caffeinatedcupcake]

When i try to install the Sims 3 it says "disk space required for the setup exceeds required disk space" What does this mean and how can i fix it? Cuz i have the sims 3 disk in the disk drive...is that the disk they are reffering to? :confused:

Sounds like it is tryign to say you dont have enough hard-disk space to install the sims to the drive...
But that is the most confusing bit of a sentence in that dialogue. Fire the editors at EA... yeesh.

How much space do you have left on the partition it wants to install to?

If you're trying to install it through Wine, SIMS is not a supported game.

See the following link to the CodeWeavers compability site:

If it was supported, it would be listed on that page along with a rating.
