I have tried deleting and resintalling the game, creating space on my computer and only trying the base game. I am downloading content directly from the sims 3 store. When I click the downloads tab, it closes the whole Sims 3 launcher window.
Mine did that. EA said they'd report it as a bug. I found a way around it. Download everything from the store but don't open the launcher and click on downloads. Go into the game and I think it was the button with the three dots and it says something about downloading or installing or something like that. My game is completely down so I can't double check the steps. Then I downloaded it there and it brought up a list of everything which I'd never seen before. Then I clicked install and it would bring me from the game back to my desktop and then I'd flip windows back to the launcher I think it's called? and then do it again which was really annoying but it got all of them installed without having to click on downloads and I was able to play. I went back to it a few days ago and it showed everything was empty but it's all in the game so at least you could play.
I can't believe I never that was in the main menu!! Thank you!! It worked! It's a good fix until EA fixes that.
Hello, I tried doing this but it did not work :(. Does it take forever to log you in the game once you get to the three dots?
brekitty same here
It only works for store bought items unfortunately.
Yes, that was my conclusion after I restarted the game and deleted everything off of it and reinstalled the packs. I realized that any cc doesn’t work and will crash the game so now I just buy some points and try to buy anything I find cute on the sim store, but it’s not a lot 😂
