Re: Trying to install new CC.

If you do a factory reset, everything will be gone from your game but it's still there since you're just renaming the folder and you can later add stuff back.

This is just to see if something in your user file is messing up the launcher. If it works with a clean user folder, you start putting your stuff back until you find the guilty party.

You can also make an backup to be extra sure that you don't loose anything.

    Will I have to reinstall Sims 3 and the EP's if I uninstall and reinstall Origin?

    No, you shouldn't have to. You just need Origin to run the game.

    Im having problems with Origin too. It has attached itself to my TS3W file and actiing as admin so I can not runn the game bypassing the launcer or origin. I have a clean install in my computer right now with just the base game and Origin. No cc.  I have errors in my DxDiag pertainning to TS3W file and Origin. Check you DxDiag and see if you are getting those errors.

    I will try and run a test for you since I have a cclean install with new update of origin. The CC your trying to download is it 3rd party or EA store?

    Just tested the EA store and I can not download anything into my game. Thank you EA for messing up Origin!

    does not matter at this point what CC store or not. Origin has hijacked the launcher and will not let us download anything. I added this problem to my on going claim about origin issues and we will just have to wait until they fix it and I hope it's soon.
