I was having fun playing the Sims 3 until.............
I was having fun playing the Sims 3 until I was being forced to update to the EA app from Origin!
The Sims 3 is not perfect on my new computer. It wont let me install some of the EP's (they crash) so have been playing without them. The game is a lot more fun than the Sims 4, even though there are more bugs in the Sims 3 than I remembered.
I have read solutions online from how to block Origin from updating, and what to do if the Sims 3 won't run on the New EA App. It seems that I will have to spend time downloading my Sims 3 store stuff on the new EA App and I have no idea if I will encounter all the problems I have read about.
I have been playing the Sims since the Sims 1 and I am now an elderly lady, and having to do all this tech stuff to get my games to play is becoming more difficult for me.
So instead of just loading up my game to play today, I know I will probably spend hours sorting out the mess when I have to swtich to the EA App.
There is no option to close/remove the pop up on Origin to update to EA App, so I can't get on to play my Sims 3 right now. It will probably mean hours of me trying to sort out the mess to play my Sims 3 saved game if I do.
All I wanted was to to load up my Sims 3 game and play for a couple of hours to relax, this has now become stress. I will have to accept the new EA App and probably know things won't work in the Sims 3. And if I want to play the Sims 3, spend hours re-downloading stuff from the store and generally sorting out the mess this new App has caused. Or even having to uninstall EA App and re-install the old Origin. More of my time wasted just to get to play what I want to play! And how long with Origin work for?
In the past I had more enthusiam sorting out problems with my Sims games. I know eventually I will spend time sorting the whole mess out but for now I cannot play any of my Sims games until I update to the EA App. Why can't I install the new App in my own time instead of being forced to install on EA terms when the pop up arrives? Thank you EA!
