Failed Installation - No Launcher or TS3.exe
Good evening, I'm trying to re-install a copy of the Sims 3 and I've been having some trouble. Origin is being a butt and won't let me download directly. I had to go into the Origin Games folder a...

In the Game/Bin folder that's in the Electronic Arts folder, all I have are two icons. The one for playing the game and the one for uninstalling it. But they're only the icons; there are no exe's.
In the Game/Bin folder in the Origin Games/The Sims 3 folder, I ahve an exe called TSLHelper which does nothing. In the main Origin Games/The Sims 3 Folder, I have two exe's. IsSetupHelper, which does nothing, and Sims3Setup, which I used to install the game.
Then I would say it did not install correctly.
When you say reinstall, did you clean your registry before doing that or is it the first time installation on that computer ?
What happens if you try to install again ?
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game several times. I've even tried manually uninstalling it. I've tried deleting my data, re-downloading the data and installing again. Each time, I get the same results.
(At the risk of sounding like a moron, what do you mean by "clean my registry"?)
EDIT: Googled it, tried it, still no luck. T__T
I really don't know what could be wrong.
Do you have a file ts3w.ex_ in the installation directory ? If so, you can try renaming that to ts3w.exe and then manually move. Don't know if that will work though (do accordingly for the other files you're missing)
I had Sims3Launcher.ex_ which I changed to Sims3Launcher.exe and it appears to be working.
I don't know what wizardry this is, but I will not question it for now. Thank you, Crinrict. <3
