ambitions will not launch...pc download through origin

I purchased ambitions through origin and downloaded it.  I have the sims 3 base game and have had no problems playing it.  However, once I downloaded ambitions, I could no longer launch my basegame. ...

Now that we have origin you don't need to patch any EP's only that the base game is patched to 1.67.. Were you trying to patch ambitions manually? If so you don't need to do that. This maybe your problem.

Scroll down to the bottom of the web it will tell you how to uninstall ambitions only manually

Then do a clean install and dont patch ambitions.

      Hi.  I uninstalled ambitions and reinstalled it minus the updates to it.  I click on the sims 3 launcher button and nothing happens.  the game never loads.  I'm just inclined to believe the ep just don't like my computer and I don't know why.  I can play the base game.  I haven't had any error messages...At least with an error message you have an idea of what 's causing the problem.  I am just really confused with it.

        Could you post this info: 

        1. Click on Start and then type the following into the search prompt at the bottom: perfmon /rel
        2. Press Enter to proceed.
        3. A window will open and in there you can click on the red circles with a white X.
        4. After clicking the X, the info on the bottom will update. Choose the Sims 3 Critical Event one and right click on it and choose "View Technical Details"
        5. Now on the next window, choose Copy to clipboard at the very bottom and post this into a reply to us here.

        Also what base game version are you currently at ? 1.67 ?
