I just got a brand new gaming laptop 12/15/2022 so I can play all my Sims games, so I installed The Sims 3 just fine, but when I push play in the EA game launcher and TS3 own launcher comes up as usual, though a lot faster, and I push play, and instead of the game starting, it goes back EA game launcher!
Then I just today tried to get The Sims 2 to install and find they switched it to Double Deluxe which is NOT the same as Ultimate Collection, but when I push to install it, instead of it doing the same thing as it does with The Sims 4 or even The Sims 3, a box pops up telling me to download it in my browser, which I do, and it says in the box to find the place to install it then in the download, which I did, but though a thing comes up asking if I want to install it, then another box pops up telling me there was some error, that it may be corrupt or something!
But how can it be corrupt when I just got it from EA? So I can't play The Sims 3, because it won't launch, and I can't even install The Sims 2, all because EA/Maxis changed the launcher or made some other changes to The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection!
I am wondering now if they did that to make more of us stop playing The Sims 3 or The Sims 2, and go buy The Sims 4 instead, but I already own the The Sims 4, and I love it, I just want to play the other 2 as well!
And since they refuse to help with either really, I know for sure anyway that they wont help me get the Sims 2 back again! I wonder if they didn't mess it up on purpose because they plan on re-releasing a new The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection remastered and they want us all to buy it!
@pookysimslover, @EA_Cade made a mention about TS2 UC showing up as Double Deluxe over in the thread that I will provide. He also has a link for the EA App page for anyone who has problems with app so that we can post our issues over there.
