Can't Do Much For Sims 3 Game
I recently just decided to manually install The Sims 3 Base (2009) disc and it's giving me all these new weird things I've never seen before. I'm currently trying to upgrade the patch to 1.67, but I'm having a hard time installing it (there's not a lot of mods that're updated to 1.69, so that's partially why I'm doing this). I try and it's saying that "The installed version of this application could not be determined. The setup will now terminate". Everything else shows up for the launcher except how it won't let me download content from somewhere like "The Exchange" or content that I already have stored, and from the "Game Update" section, it won't let me press "Update Now", but only "Refresh" or "Automatic Updates" neither which are helpful. And obviously, I cannot log into my account from the launcher nor with in-game for some odd reason.
The only "good" thing I was able to do was enter the game and play a bit of it for a test save, but nothing changed afterwards launcher-wise. I also noticed while installing that it never prompt me for a serial code, just went through the basic installation process. I've uninstalled this waiting for better results.
I'm also using Windows 10. Also, I already have all the legal copies including them all being accessible through the EA app, but I was trying to play without needing it.
