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...

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.
Was it after you used that code you found that you got issues with the Store content or before ?
Did you get the invalid message on the blue installation screen ? Is your code a DVD code or did you buy the base game on Origin ?
I feel like I confused you somewhere. The game was giving me the invalid code thing and still installing, each time. After I bought this new computer and tried to install the game through Origin. It was already registered, so I just used the code and downloaded from there. It would give me the invalid message even though that was my code, but it will install afterward. Through the whole time I was having the problems, I was using my code from Origin. It was a DVD code, and I would get the invalid message while on the blue install screen yea. The store content issue was while I was going through the invalid messages. I don't know if they're connected or not, but any time I tried to get in touch with help, aside from this, I was given the run-around. Hence why I had to go find a code to use even though I own the game. I'd really love to know why my code won't work.
