@MandyLovesPink35 What happens when you try to install? If you get an error message, please post a screenshot.
I dont get any errors but it get stick on 22% when I try and install it though origin
@MandyLovesPink35 Please do a clean uninstall and reinstall of Origin:
- Quit Origin, then right-click on the Task Bar and open the Task Manager. Scroll through looking for Origin entries. If you find any, click on them and End Task.
- Clear Origin's cache.
- Download Revo Uninstaller (the free version is fine) from here.
- Launch Revo, select Origin from the list, and click Uninstall.
- When it finishes uninstalling, select "Moderate" under "scanning modes," and click Scan.
- If Revo finds any remaining registry entries, select all, delete, and click Next.
- Revo will display "Remaining Data and Folders." Select all of them except for the "Origin Games" folder, if you have any other Origin games installed. (This is where those games are located by default.) Delete the rest.
- Close Revo, and restart your computer.
Next, download the full Origin installer and run it. Here's the direct download link:
http://download.dm.origin.com/origin/live/OriginSetup.exe
Be sure to run both the installer and Origin itself as an admin: right-click on each and select "Run as Administrator."
When installing Sims 3, try just the base game first, no packs.
I did reinstall Origin and did all that
@MandyLovesPink35 I understand you reinstalled Origin, but did you do a clean uninstall, as described? The regular uninstall process leaves behind a number of files that might interfere with a subsequent download.
If the clean uninstall and reinstall doesn't help, please clear Origin's cache (as linked in my previous post) and then change the install location for Sims 3. You can create a new folder within Program Files (x86) if you want; just don't use Origin Games.
If that doesn't help either, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.
