Sims 3 Won't Install Any Content
Hello everyone. I'm not sure this is the right place to put this, but I've already tried to get help on the Sims 3 forums. A lot of people are having this same issue, but no one has truly received an...

The problem with that is I basically got the run-around. I was told to uninstall and reinstall the game, use the super patch, and I'm still having the same problem. I've already went through this before, so this makes it the second time. Still no real help.

Did they check your account ?
Let me see if I can get some more info on this issue.
EDIT: Just to make sure, you did redownload everything from your purchase history before trying to install ?
They told me they were going to when I spoke to the first person, but alas nothing happened. I did as the second person told me, and after I uninstalled the base game, it wouldn't even let me use my own code again. It kept saying it was invalid, which I don't understand why. Basically I used a code from Yahoo answers for it, which I don't know if its okay or not, but I thought since I bought the game it would be okay. I have owned it since it came out, but I've never come over an issue like this before. Anyway. I used the code I found that someone else said could be used, and I reinstalled the base game, and this time it updated twice and everything installed just fine. I don't know what the problem was, and I didn't really get it resolved with anyone elses help, but it's okay now. I would like to know what was going on and why my code is now invalid though. Oh and before I forget, yea I did redownload everything before trying to install when all this was going on. I even tried one by one to see if it was that, but nothing.
Where did you get the invalid message ? On installing the game ? Did you use the code that was on Origin or do you have the disc and used that code ?
When I went to install the game it kept giving me an invalid code message. I've used the code for years, considering it's the code from the one I bought. I ended up having to use a code I found on yahoo answers, which some other people have had to do as well it seems. I would still like to know why I cannot use my own code, and how it is considered invalid now. The code I was using is from Origin, matching the one I registered my game with, but I couldn't use the disk because it's currently at my home. I'm on vacation right now. I suppose having to use another code isn't much of a solution, since it means I can't use my own copy. I think it's kind of stupid if others have had to do this too.
