You can check if you have the latest store content udpate this way:
Go to this folder: documents\electronicarts\theims3\contentpatch and find a file called contentpatch.package. It should be around 7.78 MB in size.
There's a log which can be found in documents/electronicarts/thesims3 and is called Sims3LauncherLogFile.log
Post the content here
Thank you for your reply. I have found a solution to this, and it seems like I should have done this first, it is dumb I did not. It turned as I had downloaded a 'bad' version from my purchase history and all I had to do was re-download it 😕mileylol: . After re-downloading it a couple of times for each item, it has since worked and installed correctly. Thank you for your reply, though.
when i download content from the website it doesnt go into my downloads folder in open straight into the launcher. Im guessing my content must be "bad" too. What browser did you use?
If I am missing the file called contentpatch.package. where can I get that or how do I fix that?
Thanks in advance,
Derek
@Derek_Pearce For patch 1.69 (Origin/EA App) installs, the data formerly in ContentPatch is integrated into the game's program files. So the folder should be empty, and this doesn't indicate a problem.
Since this thread is quite old, I'll lock it here. If you'd like help with your issue, please create your own thread.
i have v 1.69.47 and all EPs and SPs
Have run Manage>Repair from the EA game page
i located the contentpatch file but it is empty 0MB
Still can't get to install a lot of files, and keep getting the same message to "Please make sure your game has the latest Software Updates and try again"
