sims 3 and .net framework 3.5
aye, so I bought and downloaded the sims 3 and when i tried to install it, it told me my internet connection was messed up. I knew it wasnt because I was going on the internet on my phone and going o...
@miahyfr Are you trying to download Sims 3 for Android? Are you using your phone as a hot spot or connecting to the phone with a usb cable? You do not need .NET Framework 3.5 to download and install The Sims 3. The game should download and install without it. Your cell company might be using a proxy to connect you to the internet. Your connection might be getting too many errors. You can open Origin, click Origin in the upper left, click application settings, click diagnostics, turn on Safe Mode downloading. This will enable error checking during the downloading. .NET Framework is needed to run the game. Windows 10 needs to have the included version enabled - prior versions of Windows need .NET Framework to be downloaded and installed. The computer needs to be rebooted after .NET Framework is enabled or installed.
If I have Windows 11 can I install? This still isn't working for me. I checked my updates too and it says I have NET 3.5!!!!
@rockstarjess Yes, .NET Framework 3.5 installs fine on Windows 11. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling it if you want. Click Windows key-R, enter appwiz.cpl in the run box, click "Turn Windows features on or off," and .NET 3.5 will be near the top of the list. Click the filled-in box to uninstall, restart your computer, and repeat, clicking the now-empty box to reinstall, and restart again.
This thread is almost a decade old, so I'll lock it here. If the above doesn't help, please create your own thread in this forum describing your particular issue: what you see on-screen, and when, instead of Sims 3 working properly. Please also run a dxdiag and attach it to your post.
