the sims game works but the expansion packs dont want to work. their is a warning that comes out when I instal it. PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!!!
Hi,
It would be easier to help you if you could provide more information when you post. You say there is a "warning message" - but then you don't tell me what does the message say? If it says something about the expansion being newer than the base game then you can ignore that and just proceed with the installation.
If the message you are seeing is something else then please write down the wording and post it here.

sorry about that. the warning is telling me that the sims 3 game is newer than the expanion packs and that if I download the expantion packs it would mess up the game. what do I do
- Anonymous11 years agoOK, that warning is very common and safe to ignore. It just means that your base game is patched, which is a good thing, so the code is "newer" than that of the expansion packs, which were published several years ago. You can just click past the warning and continue to try to install.

but when I do that a message comes up saying that there is an known error as happened. so what could i do

the pop up that appears when I instal the sims late night says that it could be incompatible and make sure you get all updates before playing. the sims 3 verion installed is more recent than expected. The pop up is titled as a validation error
- Anonymous11 years agoYou may have a corrupt installation of the base game from Origin, in which case you need to do a clean uninstall and try again using the instructions I posted earlier. Get the base game installed, patched up to date and make sure it works before adding any expansions.

The warning you see about the game being more up to date than expected can be ignored. The "unknown error" is more tricky.
When you open the game launcher, does the number in the lower left hand corner indicate that you are patched to level 1.67?
Also, how much RAM does your Mac have?
