back after a long time away

ello ello!

 my main pc recently took a dump so i have been bereft of sims for months and moths now. to fill the void i tried installing the sims 3 on my old laptop and its works! (horray) its been so awesome rediscovering this game and all the great features that have been taken from us.

however, everything is so different from when i last played. where is the gallery? where is the store? i own tons and tons of things i cant figure out how to download.

there was a place in game in the options tab to download content but it doesn't really seem to do anything. and my launcher is blank.

now i dont know if im just not looking in the correct place (even the website is different now) or if its because this laptop is linux so things dont work the same. can any1 point me in the right direction?

any help is appreciated :)

  • ZeriBlackheart​  The Sims 3 Store is here:

    https://store.thesims3.com/

    Login and choose Store > My Store Account > Purchase History to see the items you've bought.

    The Exchange is another tab on the same site.  But I would be very cautious in installing content from there because bad custom content can stick to uploads.

    As for the blank launcher, do any of the tabs work?  If so, it doesn't really matter that the launcher overall is blank—just install your Store content and move on.  Most of the launcher is taken up by a Sims 4 ad and a prompt to sign in, both of which you can ignore.
