@acupofteaandmore What is your computer operating system version (example Windows XP)? What is the version of your game (launcher lower left)? Try one item - does the launcher open - does the item show up in downloads - when you check the box do you click install? Does the items show in downloads but greyed out?
I have Windows 10 on a hp Pavilion and my game version is 1.67.2.024037
I just tried to download Wedding cake dress, the launcher opened and said "Success! Done!"
It didn't grey out, and I do click install when I check the box.
@acupofteaandmore With Windows 10 your game should have updated to version 1.69. I see the problem - you need to install Origin and get the games and packs in Origin. windows 10 does not support the old DRM (SecuROM and SafeDisc). After you update to version 1.69 there will be no install limit and you won't need a disc to play. This is not a game problem but rather an operating system issue.
I'm not able to download Origin and install from there... I bought the Sims 3 off of Steam and wasting more money to then buy it off of Origin as well wouldn't be worth it. Is there anything else I can do to update my system? Or another solution? Buying the same game from another site is just more than I'd like to invest in this game... ☹️
