Re: Sims 3 Game Update 1.67 not working

Has anyone fixed this yet as I am having the same issue.


I am on a windows 7 computer and after a while of not playing the Sims 3 I decided to download it again. The launcher says it is version 1.0.631 and I have tried the super patch. Although when I tried to do the super patch again (to get it to 1.67) it says that I have already got that version installed, although my launcher tells me differently. 

I have been battling this for two days straight and tried to manually remove sims from my computer and reinstall it to see if that made a difference, but no. And after a lot of google searching it keeps coming up with the same Super Patch that didnt work for me. 

PLEASE HELP ☹️

    I've been trying to update it to 1.67 for quite some time.  I have 1.63.5.024001 on a Windows 7 Professional PC.  I get the error, "The setup has detected that no version of The Sims 3 is installed. I have The Sims 3, High-End Loft Stuff, Late Night, & I just installed Seasons.  Some help from EA would be great.  The Super Patch has given the same error.

    I have the software installed to D: and will not / can not change it.

    Did you remove all registery entries ? Do you have any expansion packs ?

    Do you have the Steam or Origin version of the game ?

    Did you install it to the default location ? Do you have the newest version of Origin ?

    I purchased this game today and have tried downloading the update twice (10hrs of non stop fun!...not)

    I get a message pop up at the end of the update telling me it can't install because sims 3 is being used or something along those lines....

    Any help? Getting slightly frustrated!
