Well hello,

So...i have kind of the same problem only mine says: Error (-5006 0x80070005) when I try to install sims 3 levensweg/generations.
Although i truly tried all of the things down below/up above...I just re-installed every game but the generations one...without any problem.

So I thought...it would have been the disc itself.

Now I bought it new, and just tried to install it again...and i still get the same error.

So i don't understand why I can install every game...but the generations one (without any problems).

So, can you tell me what to do next?

Greetings,
