Error 327682:0
Hello,
I'm having trouble installing Sims 3. First I went to play my game, since it was already installed, but the app alerted me that it needed to have an update installed. So I went to origin to install the update but every time I click install, it says "An unexpected installation error has occurred. First, try restarting your computer. If that doesn’t resolve the issue you can take the following steps:
1) Temporarily disable your virus scanner/firewall
2) Run the Origin Client in administrator mode
3) Reboot your Machine and try installing again
Error: 327682:0"
I tried restarting my computer, I've tried deleting Sims 3 all together because it looks like it is trying to install the whole game itself?? I tried restarting it more times and re-installing the origin app as well. Nothing has worked, please help!
Thanks,
@pdxboo Do you have a Mac, and does it run Catalina? If so, that's the issue: Sims 3 is a 32-bit app, and Catalina is 64-bit only. There's no way around this. However, EA has announced a 64-bit-compatible version of Sims 3 for macOS, to be released (hopefully) some time this year.
In the interim, your only options are to play in a different computer, to install Windows on your Mac (via Bootcamp or Parallels), or to install an earlier version of macOS on an external drive and boot into that when you want to play. If you'd like more information on the last two options, let me know.
