same im installing then trying agiam

Anyone else missing a number of your expansion packs with the 64Bit? I'm missing 7. I'm given the option to buy but not download.

No I haven't got mine showing, I will wait a bit and see what happens I think I will live for another 48 hours... :'(

Did anyone manage to play this game at all ?

@jimbbq - Yes, some have. The fix for the incomplete installation error is being rolled out and will take a few days to reach everyone. I still have the broken version myself on my end. The startup videos and the error message before the game quits on the world selection screen do look very nice though, if anyone wants high quality screenshots of them. But that's as far as I can go right now. :/

From all reports, the working version still has some issues to be fixed up as well.

48 hour wait has come and gone. Still no metal version ! Contacted live chat and asked to wait again ... :(

It may be just as well. If you were to be granted the broken version of it like just about everyone else was and the fixed version hasn't propagated yet, it's not going to do you any good until the fixed version arrives.

Although some who are missing entitlements have gotten the fixed version by having a customer support agent grant them access, that becomes the luck of the draw as to who can get an agent who knows how to do this to do it for them. It's better for now for most players to just be patient until the real version shows up.

I've got it working w/ all EPs and some CC. Haven't run into any problems so far. The game is much faster than my equivalent on my MSI gaming laptop from 2016. Loading times are around the same.

For anyone who does manage to play, it would be great if you could see whether you have these issues, and if you do, please click Me Too on the first post, and add your specs if requested.

Red flashing screen
Grainy/shiny/pixellated hair/borked eyelashes
Certain keyboard commands stick or don't release
No interactions for open water

If you get a warning that your system has run out of memory, PLEASE post your specs in this thread, and it would be great if you could include a screenshot of the Activity Monitor's Sims 3 info while playing as well. Open Applications > Utilities, launch the Activity Monitor, and double-click on the Sims 3 entry.

Hello everyone, anyone here? I'm having problems with the eyelashes (black rectangle) and their hair in CAS, the hair (kind like grainysh) but at least in gameplay looks good but the eyelashes don't, I tried downloading mods that removes the ea eyelashes but doesn't work :(
