Re: How to re-install the EA Download Manager ( The Sims 3 )

I bought The Sims 3 in 2010, when it installed with EADM, I play a family for a few weeks at longish intervals.

 I bought Battlefield 3 recently, and Origin replaced EADM.

Now getting back into TS3 and trying to install an expansion pack, the TS3 launcher says I need EADM.

The solution says Origin replaced EADM.  I already have Origin.  I logged in.  Same result: the TS3 launcher says I have to have EADM and I don't.  I try the EADM link from the thread.  Origin's replaced it there too.

So I uninstall The Sims 3 and re-download it through Origin and install it.

This fresh install of TS3 says I need EADM.

So maybe I can just ignore that and do everything through Origin, which has replaced EADM?

Nope: I try to install Late Night, it says "Please use The Sims 3 Launcher and update your version of The Sims 3 before installing this product".

Which, you'll recall from above, The Sims 3 launcher still refuses to do, because I don't have EADM installed.
