@Puzzlez!

Hey puzzlezaddict​ I want to download my packs onto my laptop, while my PC is broken, but my MyPage only takes me to a page to buy. It says on my MyPage that I own everything, but ... I think this has been talked about on here a few times already. I need the EA App and everything. For Windows. Not 11. my laptop won't do 11, its staying on 10.

I've had it on here before, the icon was on my desktop but wouldn't launch because it was too outdated. 

Not sure if I have enough room on here either. a couple hundred or so GB. It did run ok when it was on here before, ages ago. I might pare it back to just a few expansions though. 

ok, so what is the solution?

 

Nevermind. I found the EA App to download, which I did, and then when I went to install it, it told me I still/already have it on my laptop and it repaired it ... And the expansions were there when I launched that, to download, 15 of them, it required 21. something GB which obviously is a 10th of my spare space.  If that is the case, that the initial game takes up a 10th of the spare GB ... will that play alright, or should I pare it back?

here is a dxdiag

 

Its just a laptop.

What do you reckon?

    That was exciting.

  • DivinylsFan​  Sorry for the late reply; I'm having trouble keeping up with the forums lately.

    To answer your questions, if you still have them:

    • The entire game minus Store content takes up about 32 GB
    • This amount of data is completely fine to install on any computer that will have more than, say, 40 GB free once the game is present: another 10-15 GB for saves and other data leaves 25-30 free, which is really all you need
    • .NET Framework 3.5 is a runtime Microsoft produced for applications to use and is not a "scam" in any way, plus Sims 3 won't open without it

    You're perfectly fine to get on with your own things and game, I apologise.
