I just bought the complete first collection of the sims. I used another computer drive to install the files onto my Macbook Air. I dragged the files into applications folder. Problem is, now when I want to play the game. I double click on the cd from the other computer and this message shows up...the path "The Sims Complete.localized: The Sims" contains slash (/), backslash (\), or period (.). Please remove the character from the appropriate folder's name and try again."

What does that mean?

It doesn't sound like the copy-protection will allow for the disc to be used via remote disc sharing. You'll likely need to pick up an external CD/DVD drive.

Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!
