So I called the EA help number, and the lady said this is a problem on their end that the Tec people at EA have been trying to find a solution for. She said all I can do is wait to see if they post a patch update or keep reading the forums to see when it will be fixed 🙄
They said the same thing to me in an email... They should tell us when its fixed and we should ask for compensation, I asked about it - hope they respond...
- @nafr5 let us know what they say. Thank you
- @nafr5 yess please let us know!
This is the problem im having too like none of my dlc will install it sucks
Same for me but with sims 4 i've done everything to fix it
- @nafr5 Yep the sims for me aswell
- @osunbursto I had the same problem however with a different game
- @JandK1 I did some digging into this and have spotted a few others that are having this problem. In my research, I did come across something that has helped one or two others. Could you please try the following:
Try this solution.
- Open the start menu
- Search for services
- Locate "EABackgroundService"
- Right-click it
- On the General tab, you'll see "Startup type:" make it "Automatic"
- Press Ok
- Launch the EAdesktop again
This should work fine 🙂 - @osunbursto I did some digging into this and have spotted a few others that are having this problem. In my research, I did come across something that has helped one or two others. Could you please try the following:
