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...

I've heard about the base game issues from the older discs before, but I didn't think much of it since it was never a problem for me. That seems to have changed, of course. I do understand that they would need to do something globally to fix it, and that they probably won't. I don't expect special treatment or anything, but my situation does see quite different than others going through the typical store content problems. I don't know if the store content is connected to the serial code, but it does seem that way. You've helped me more than the so called help I was actually getting, so I wouldn't consider your efforts fruitless. I was able to download it again, and I thought the content installed, but it turns out it actually did. Sadly that means I'm still suffering from this issue.
One idea that I have that the fact that you have a code from the net atm is that maybe EA blocked that code entirly and now you're having issues so my best advise is to wait until you have access to your discs again and then reainstall with those codes.
Do you have world adventures ? If so, do check if the base game one and the WA one are identical. If they are, contact a game advisor and tell them that oyu need a new code since they are the same which means, one MUST be wrong. Hopefully it works better with a key you get from EA then one you get from the net.
Know what I'm trying to say ?
Well the only reason I had to use a code from the net is because the Origin one wouldn't work. Not exactly much else I can do if I want to play, you know? I am not entirely sure when I'll have access to my disks again because after I return from vacation I'll be moving. I do understand what you're saying, although I'm fairly sure my codes as far as the base game and WA go are different. I will definitely check into that when I get the chance and let you know. I hope I'm not going to have to buy another base game, or whatever I end up having to do.
You won't need to do that. If your code doesn't work, try a game advisor again. They can give you a new code. If WA and base are the same, you have leverage on that.
Have it escalated to a higher up if chat support isn't willing.
