Not sure what you've downloaded before but you'll need patch 1.57
What is your base game version right now ?
Open the launcher and check the number in the lower left corner.
Thankyou for replying!

Thankyou! it took me a while but it worked!
The game launched and I reached as far as the load up screen where all the gameplay tips show up but then a little blue box came up saying "a serious error has occured with "Natalie.sims3" and it should restart the application. What do i do now?
How did you figure that out? I can’t launch the game to even see!
@TheDebinator30 What kind of install do you have? This issue is a bit old and shouldn't affect Origin-only installs (although it can certainly show up with discs). How to resolve it depends on how you installed in the first place.
