Sims 3 login
Hello, Yesterday I bought a bunch of Sims 3 expansion and stuff packs to go with my game and used points from that to buy a few things from the store. However, when I went to download the large amo...

@Kote-nox Do the downloads work if you only install from the store website? The in-game dashboard has always been finicky and unreliable.
@puzzlezaddictThe bug happens with both, the dashboard and the website.
Edit: Is important to say that the login window that loops may be slighty different than the one you use to login in the launcher and the one in-game. Because those two login windows always work fine. Is the one that pops-up to confirm your identity when downloading the one that's buggy. That window seems to be trigged by to many downloading errors of the type I mentioned.
I finally could solve my problem. This is what I did:
The Sims 3 page recomends the browsers Microsoft Explorer or Mozilla Firefox for the downloading page.
-> Microsoft Explorer was imposible to use, because it automatically redirects you to Microsoft Edge. And it was impossible for me to avoid the bug in Edge despite my efforts. Not even in Edge's explorer legacy mode.
-> Then I tried Mozilla. I opened Mozilla and tuned it off for The sims 3 page, turning off the advanced tracking protection, allowing cookies and pop-up windows for the page. And the thing that allows the download to interact with the Sims 3 game (This last one pop-ups when you first use the download page). I also set it as the default browser just in case.
Then I started downloading the sets. Many downloading errors ocurred, one of them was the "You don't own this item error" (it happened 7 times) and the other was a silent one where the set wasn't downloaded and there wasn't a notification about it. Despite this the terrible looping login window didn't pop-up and I was able to download all the sets.
After this I selected the downloaded sets and clicked "install", but they wouldn't install. Then I launched the game and with the game running I made it to open the game launcher. From the launcher and with the game running I was able to install all the sets.
And that solved it. I hope that this information can help anyone who may have this problem in the future.
