Hi!I just bought the Sims 3 Medieval and i can't download it( when it's start for a while it's shows that all GB have been already downloaded and than it's shows up a title "downloading" and everything start since the beginning( I have already cleaned cache.I ll be very happy if someone help me with this stuff!!((

Please clear the EA App's cache again: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/ Then restart your computer, and create a new folder into which you'll install Sims Medieval. The folder should be on the root level of the drive, e.g. C:\Games is fine, but not C:\Program Files\Games. If you use a third-party antivirus, disable it before trying to install the game. As long as you don't do anything else at the same time, your computer should be safe. If this doesn't help, let me know whether the drive you're using is internal or external, and if external, what format it has. You can see this in Disk Management; hit Windows key-X to see the option to open it.

Hey!I also have the same problem. Whenever its fully downloaded it automatically starts with zero mb again. There is no error message it just restarts the download automatically. Also I only use an internal drive. I followed all your advise about the cache, anti virus programs, restarting the computer, choosing a new folder etc. but the problem just doesn't go away. Do you have any advise for that? Thank you so much!

You could try posting in the technical area of the sims 3 forums. You might get a faster response. If Sims 3 doesn't have a technical thread here, then I would post this concern on the HQ forums under sims 3 technical issues. I'm not the best person for this and I hope somebody with more tech. experience can help you. 🙂

Senerateles Does your computer have multiple drives, and have you tried installing the game onto a different drive? Is the drive you've been using internal or external? And if you use a third-party antivirus, did you in fact disable it while creating the new folder and trying to install the game? I realize this might not sound like the safest practice, but as long as you're not doing anything else, your computer should be fine. Please also let me know exactly what happens when you're trying to install Medieval, including a screenshot of any error message you get. There are a number of download issues that look similar but are not the same.

BexMC98 Please do all of this together, at the same time: Uninstall the EA App with Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine), and restart your computer before reinstalling the App. Create another new folder on the root level of your drive into which you'll install the game. Disable your antivirus, temporarily, before trying to download the game. Run the App as an admin: right-click the desktop shortcut and select "Run as administrator."

Thank you so much for the advise. Sadly it still didn`t work. I tried all of it multiple times, but it just keeps restarting the download the second it`s at 100%. Is there anything else I could try?

If so many people have the same problem at the same time, do you think, it might be because there`s an error in the game itself?

If somebody tries, could you please send an update about wether it works that way or not? Thanks in advance!

I finally managed to install the game yesterday. I did the following: While the game was installing, I copied the game files and pasted them into another folder. After that, I canceled the game installation and started it again in the folder where I had previously moved the game files. At first, the game also simply installed endlessly, but at some point (after 20 minutes or so) the download finished and the game installed.
