Re: Sims 3 expansion pack not downloading from EA app

Just wanted to post this incase it helps someone else, in the past year or so I've had trouble getting all my sims 3 packs to install like everyone else in my case 4 expansions, University, Pets, Showtime and Paradiso. In the past I'd just install the Origin app and they'd install in the background but that stop working for me. I have Windows 10, so today, I uninstalled the EA app, tried to install origin but kept getting the whoops can't install error, like I have been for months now, so I right clicked, (on Origin set up installer) and selected troubleshoot compatibility, then when I went to install it again as admin, this time I checked the box all the way at the end that said run it as previous technical versions or something like that and I was able to install and run old version of origin, it downloaded my other 4 packs within seconds.  I still got the pop up to download the EA app but just ignored it as they installed in the background, I hope this helps someone as I know how frustrating this has been. I can close my BBB complaint with EA, for now....
