Dead Links: Sims 3 Expansion/Stuff/Worlds at EA Store Sites
Scroll to the end of the thread to find a guide on how to find your sims 3 content, Dead link free!!
After a recent updates to The Sims 3 Content Pages on the EA website, there are duplicate pages, as well as dead links to expansions, stuff packs, etc everywhere.
To start, There seems to be two Sims 3 pages now:
This page is full of broken links to other sims 3 content.
Clicking any of these below boxes leads to a 404 error:
2. https://www.ea.com/en/games/the-sims/the-sims-3
This seems to be the new page, which im quite a fan of!! looks nice, i dont have anything bad to say about this page.
Secondly, this page: https://www.ea.com/en-au/games/the-sims/sims-3-store
which is now the only way to find all the sims 3 content on the ea website due to the new sims 3 base game page not having the arrow buttons to navigate other packs anymore.
This page is also full of dead links. Clicking any tile here to purchase a pack leads to a 404. This is a bit embarrassing considering we are in the "nostalgia now" era, and yet navigating sims 3 content on the ea website is a very broken experience.
How to find sims 3 content?
To help everyone find the pages to the content, here is a guide on finding sims 3 content on web below. Or just use the EA App, that might be easier. (Steam probably is the best way to go for now though)

EA Website Guide:
Go to https://www.ea.com/en-au/games/the-sims/sims-3-store
Hover over a pack and select "Official Site"
Then you will see this page:
One you are here, in the URL Box, edit the link.
Add what ive highlighted below to the link (/the-sims-3/buy/addon/)
Hit enter, and youll find your content page!!!
Hopefully they can fix this soon. This is a post to highlight the issue, not an area to be negative. As you all know, moving Answers HQ to these forums, means the EA admins have alot on their plate, and also the admins replying to our posts here, im going to confidently guess have nothing to do with these issues. Thankyou for your hard work keeping our forums running!! :)
