Hi everyone!
I just downloaded the new EA Beta app (the new Origin) and now my Sims 3 CAW EIG won’t work. When I click EIG it just opens the launcher for The Sims 3. Origin just launched right away into my custom world and worked flawlessly.
I hope it’s a beta version error. If that’s not the case, is there a fix for this in 2022?
@LemonTheJuice The EA App may or may not ever fully support older games like Sims 3. For now at least, just stick with Origin. You can have both installed on your computer at the same time; you just can't run both at the same time. If you get an error when trying to open Origin, open the Task Manager and kill the "EABackgroundService," or simply restart your computer.
Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah okay. Will Origin still be available from now on? Then I guess it's not a problem, as long as it functions. 😃 Thanks for the tip!
@LemonTheJuice Origin will be available for a while yet, and maybe for a long time considering the EA App's minimum requirement is Windows 10. The old version of Origin, the one that ran on XP and Vista (this version requires Windows 7 SP1), was sunset in January 2020. That's not evidence of anything, just a reason not to think that Origin is going away soon.
