cant get some of my house creations to install from exchange

im having a hard time with some of my creations from the sims 3 exchange for how some of them will not install and after trying to add some of my creation to the launcher that i had from 2016 that all i get is a error saying how the game needs the latest software updates for how not all my creations do that and wasn't sure if anyone else would have this problem since i thought it was to big or something to install https://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8943287

    @thebite  I got the same error on my (also fully updated) install of Sims 3 just now.  The error itself is generic: it doesn't necessarily mean that someone's game isn't updated.

    There may be something corrupt about the download.  Or perhaps it uses content you and I don't currently have installed, although that's not supposed to prevent an item from installing at all.  Regardless, I'm not sure there's anything you can do here, unfortunately.

    @thebite i am having the same issue since last year i have not been able to upload any creations other then households to the sims 3 exchange and its starting to infuriate me a bit. i have uninstalled all my cc / mods still nothing so i re installed them so i know i its not because of any of that . even done cc free game by clicking that option in our start up menu and still not uploading. apparently EA and Origin are not caring that people still actually play sims 3 which is so much better then the sims 4 * which sucks by the way.. ea.... *

    @Kimberly026m  Have you tried uploading your content from a clean Sims 3 folder?  Is it possible you've uploaded the maximum amount of data to the exchange?  I've read that the max is 1 GB worth of items, although I've never tested myself.
