my game is broken on my laptop (the new fast computer). My husband does IT and he can't figure it out either. did a new install(5xs) and wiped everything. I have the base game, but no expansions/stuff packs will download or install. I've read all the forum stuff and apparently this is a problem EA hasn't fixed. I am going to use my old desktop (SOOOO SLOW) just for sims 3. I am going to finish 21 Marlin way and not claim any other lots until I can sort it all out. Love the work everyone has done so far! Go Team lol ?️♂️?️♂️
So very sorry to hear you’re still having problems @fatness1974 . Thank you for committing to complete 21 Marlin Way. Keeping my fingers crossed you find a solution.
I don't know if this will work for stuff packs, but it works for downloading store content. Under the EA App settings, (3 bars in upper left corner) under the Notifications tab, turn off the in-game overlay and uncheck the in-game boxes in the section above it. Everytime EA updates their app, they turn the in-game overlay on again, so the problem may reoccur. I hope this helps with packs as well as store content. Good Luck.
