Same thing happened upon reinstalling the game. It installs correctly, then I go to update. The update downloads completely. 90% through installation, while on the previously mentioned file, I get this message:
The following error occured on the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 3\Game\Bin\TSLHost.dll
Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
(0xb7)
I ignore it, as retrying is unsuccessful, and aborting and restarting the update results in the same thing. Upon completion, the launcher crashes and stops working every time I start it up. Same issue.
You haven't answered my question about your game version yet:
Did you buy the disc version or did you buy the digital download version on Origin ?
Sorry, thought the file path would indicate that. Downloaded via origin.
And I assume it does show up on myGames in the client ?
Well, here's two threads on the issue:
Maybe the solutions in there help you.
Manual patching didn't work. Thanks for your help, but I'm done. EA and their horrid Origin software can do without my business in the future.
