Install from Disks


I want to install my game to 1.67 on an older laptop so I can use EIG in CAW. I have two Sims 3 installation disks. One that came with University Life and the other was bundled with Late Night and High-End Loft Stuff.

When I run the Autorun on each of the disks, I get a message in the bottom left corner that says "Powered by Origin". Does this mean that I can't use either of these disks to install to 1.67 since Origin is going away?

  • @Rflong7 I don't understand why you needed to redownload the whole store if you pared everything back to its earlier version. Why not use the old plumbob package files from a kept folder? If they're having the new problem then that would mean the efforts of reverting back to an earlier version didn't completely block EA and its app. That the store items have a thingy that connects to them, so then the whole thing is pointless.

    It has nothing to do with the app. I didn't have all the store stuff and storing it never worked for me. Plus, I move files and remove Store when I want to play in CAW so I just redownload all the time. :)
    I used to try and move them in the folders and keep the files together but never worked for store stuff. :)

    *And yes, I keep several folders in the Documents\Electronic Arts for different games/Store install. I just don't use all the store. Now I want to keep the store packages in the game files *in case.*
