@R3tr0R3dux That's the wrong install location: you've selected the folder for the EA App itself, not the EA Games folder where the App normally installs games. Please uninstall Sims 4 and the EA App using Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine). Restart your computer, install the EA App, then install Sims 3 to the default location:
C:\Program Files\EA Games\The Sims 3
Note that you won't need to change anything or even create the new folder; the App will do it for you.
If you run into trouble again, please create a new folder on C instead. Call it whatever you want, e.g. Games, just not "The Sims 3," and it does need to be a new folder, not one you're reusing. Choose that as the install location for Sims 3.

I tried what you said and it did not work. Also on the downloads it tries to download one Late Night twice. I created a folder called Games. There was no install location in EA Games so I tried to create the new one just in the C:
The install location is C:\Games\\ but it still gives an error. Not sure what else to do...@R3tr0R3dux Are you writing two slashes (like this \\ ) in the file path within the EA App? If so, that would explain the issue: that's not the normal format, and the App isn't going to accept it.
Again, please do NOT change anything about the default location, just let the App install wherever it wants.

I am not. When I select the Games location it adds two slashes (\\) automatically. There is no way for me to change it. And the app has no dedicated install location, it's blank. I have to choose the location manually.
