Problems downloading University Life

What is your operating system ?

Windows Visa.

Make sure you have non of these programs that could conflict with Origin: https://help.ea.com/article/programs-that-may-cause-conflicts-with-origin

The only thing I had on that list was AVG. I turned it off and it still had the same thing happened.

What is your base game version right now ?

To find out, open your launcher and hover over the little base game icon in the lower left part of the launcher. It should say 1.50.

Just checked it, it was 1.50

Here's something I found googling:

The first and last one are on The Sims 3. The second one is on Pets. I'm trying to install University Life. I don't know if it has any difference in it or not. Could there be a possiblity that the disc is blank up to the point I get that error notice? I bought it from Game Stop and I doubt they'd know anything 'bout it.

Shound't matter which EP. Did you try any of the tips in there ?

Can you open the disc ? Does it seem like there's missing stuff ? You can always get the download version through Origin instead for free.

I was just saying about the File Errors being from Sunset Valley and the Plains.

Well, I'm just going on guessing to be honest, that maybe the reason for the File Error is because it's blank up to a point, the point being where it would download anymore. 

I'd really not like to get the free copy of Origin, I did pay to get a disc copy and not being able to use it would be a waste of money that I couldn't get back.
