EA App

@ignominiusrex Yes 3 has installed fine all packs. :) Only issue is the store content now. It all downloaded and installed finally but doesn't always appear in game. Usually, I have to exit and restart to get it all to show up.

However, I am leaning towards thinking that this is a launcher problem as it's always been problematic. Hoping they will look into that and see if possible, to update. Afterall they are still selling store content.

EA app is terrible when it comes to the Sims 3.

Ever since I switched over to it I haven't been able to keep my store content in the game. It keeps vanishing from my game and then showing as boxes in the launcher. I have tried everything I can think of, including a full re-install of the game, and nothing has fixed this issue for me. My only solution currently is to download and reinstall all the content each time I want to play, which is actually making me not want to play.

Just wanted to link to the Origin download here: https://www.dm.origin.com/download

This can still be used as a temporary solution. Hopefully EA will fix this issue until the Origin client is completely shut down.

I understand your frustration. It took me EIGHT HOURS to get the Sims 3 to install and right now I’m having issues with the sims 3 worlds showing up in my game. I can’t even use cc anymore.

This is a MONUMENTAL screw up on EA’s part to the point I REFUSE to buy any new Sims games EVER and I’ve been playing this game series since it came out in 2000

Have you got the Smooth Patch? Because the very thing you described is happening to me, and it seems to be after installing the mod, Smooth Patch. I'm wondering if it is. Everything loaded on the load I did before installing it. Then after I installed it and launched, I got an error loading my save, but got to go back to main menu. I tried loading a new world, my drop down menu showed the world, Lunar Lakes which was for the save that got an error, was missing. I exited, launched again, checked the downloads tab, sure enough there's a bunch of stuff not installed anymore and in boxes.
I selected all, to save time, and install. All of The Store cc items, including worlds, failed. It tells me to ensure my game has the latest software updates and try again.
All of my own, game-created cc is ok.

It looks like maybe everything from The Store is either being affected by the mod, or the EA app. I will see how it goes without the mod and come back.

It's definitely the EA app causing the issue.

My store content has been good ever since I switched back to Origin, and I do have the smooth patch as well.

I can't get the store content to work after the EA app! Does anyone have a fix for this.

There is an open ticket on this on Answers HQ here.

Sadly there is no help there for me. I do understand that we should be patient but that thread was started in October and considering some of us spent a lot of money for this store content, it shouldn't take more that long to fix this problem. Some of those worlds cost as much as an EP.

This EA app is killing my ability to enjoy my sins3 game. I am spending as much time scrolling through 46 pages of store content to redownload (or attempt to redoenload, because it also randomly says I don't own things that I DO) as I would actually playing.

This is burdensome beyond tolerability and I hope they are in the process of restoring to us our ability to access and use our content. If this goes on too much longer, good faith will be breached.

Testing a fix for this right now actually.

Thank you for giving me hope, as I now must give up playing sims3 on my day off, because after an hour of redownloading, it timed out me logn and would not log me in again
I tried several times to log in again and it just kept not doing it. When i returned to the downloads dashboard... all my downloaded sets that ispent the past hour scrolling through and redoenloading were reset back to not downloaded again.
My chance to game this morning is gone, so it's time to face the work ich habe to do regardless. Stressed but your quick assurances give me hope that this will not go on much longer.

Hey all,

Sorry this was missed, but a fix for this was rolled out last month. You can follow the steps here to resolve the issue.
