Sims 3 download installation failed

I recently downloaded a world for my sims in a place I've always downloaded cc from, and never had a problem with. It doesthe usual installing process, but then at the end it has the following message: Installation failed. Please make sure your game has the latest Software Updates and try again.

So far I've tried the following things:

  • Re-installed the cc (deleted it from the downloads folder and installed it again)
  • Cleaned up my mods folder (deleted new things that may have caused damage)
  • Deleted extra and unwanted cc
  • Checked for latest patches (there were none)

I've also seen a page resolving the problem, it said to re-download it because the game might not know the owner of the thing or something, but that did not work.

I don't think this problem should make me re-install the whole game, I've had worse problems and they did not need that much of a thing...

Please help me... I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who has / has had this problem!!!

Thanks in advance...

  • @perrosmolan3006 Do you have all the eps that are listed under the picture? Those are all proprietary and need to be purchased and installed because they are used in the making of the world.

    @perrosmolan3006 Is the world proprietary? It may be a world that must be bought and someone modified it and thinks it can then be shared. Where are you getting this world from?

    I needed a world with just some big lots together, so I found this place had some: http://raymondequestriancentre.weebly.com/worlds.html

    I downloaded the pineville and the breeville ones, and it did not work.

    I then tried to download a lot I had previously downloaded (I don't know from where, but definitely not this same place) and it didn't work... I'm gonna try to download some furniture and see if it works...

    -If possible could you ask me all the questions you need at the same time, because we are in different time zones and I've got to wait a day or more to recieve an answer. 🙂
