Sims 3 - Problem Connecting to Server
I've re-downloaded The Sims 3 after years of not playing. I've also got Sims 3 Night Life & High-End Tech. The Sims 3 Launcher has downloaded successfully however when I click Play, an error message...
Forum Discussion
Hi all!
Yes, I am still trying to play Sims 3 in 2024. I have it digitally through Origin. I cannot log into the launcher, install downloads form the store, and when I try to play the game I'm given this message: "There is a problem connecting to the server. Please ensure your internet connection is active. If the problem persists try again later." I feel like I have searched through every thread trying to find an answer. All of my expansion packs are installed and show that they are installed. I tried the paul.dll trick, super patch (unresponsive), cleared all caches, made sure no special characters in password, and checked to see if Late Night/Ambitions were showing up. I feel like I have tried everything so if you have any other solutions, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!
Computer: MacBook Pro (13inch, late 2011) running OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
Expansions installed: Ambitions, Generations, High End Loft-Stuff, Island Paradise, Late Night, Pets, Seasons, World Adventures, and University Life
@madisonnfarr I've merged your post with another thread about the same error. Given the packs you have installed, the issue isn't the version of paul.dll you have; the problem is elsewhere. Can you try a different network, for example using your phone as a mobile hotspot? (Make sure it's using data, not your home wifi.) If you're using a VPN, please disable it.
If none of that helps, please let me know what country you're in.
@Amythehouseelf If you're still seeing this issue, please try the above as well.
@puzzlezaddict Wow, thank you for such a speedy response!
Used my personal hotspot with data and got the same "cannot connect" message.
I am in the United States!
