Hello!
I've recently gotten back into playing The Sims 3 and took the opportunity to complete my collection of expansions, mostly because I bought myself a little tablet PC that made playing Sims 3 extra convenient.
Everything was working fine up until this week, when I just randomly stopped being able to sign in through the Sims 3 launcher - when I type in my e-mail and password, it simply closes the window and then opens it back up without giving me an error, essentially getting stuck in a log-in loop.
I've tried most of the suggested fixes but nothing seems to work.
I tried signing in on the sims 3 website, which works just fine.
I can sign in just fine on the origin websites.
What seems to be happening is that specifically the sims 3 sign-in portal is broken, since I can sign in on all the other EA services.
I'm aware that special symbols in passwords can stop you from signing in to the sims 3 launcher; my password has no such symbols. It's strictly alphanumeric.
After some digging, I found that this website in specific seems to have broken, which might be the issue? The "Sign in" button just doesn't work at all, stopping me from signing in and possibly stopping the game from completing its sign-in:
https://signin.ea.com/p/juno/login?execution=e2065910554s1&initref=https%3A%2F%2Faccounts.ea.com%3A443%2Fconnect%2Fauth%3Fresponse_type%3Dcode%26redirect_uri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.thesims3.com%252FwebLogin2.html%253FredirectTo%253Dregister.html%26client_id%3DMAXIS-TS3-2009-WEB-SERVER
This link works fine on Firefox or any other modern browser but since the launcher and game relies on IE, it simply doesn't work.
Any help would be much appreciated!
