The Sims 3 Dragon Valley Installation problems

I have store bought the new Dragon Valley, but it won't install. The installation guide skips entering the activation code as soon as one clicks on install and immediately says installation complete....

    DV is a world and not a pack. The store bought version just automates the process some. You need to go to the store and redeem the code - there is no registration for worlds. Then go to your purchase history and DV should be there and you can download to the launcher and install. DV should now be a world you can select in the launcher dropdown.

Try Chrome maybe - log in and then download it from your purchase history. Also, having the launcher running predownloading tends to help as well

Chrome doesn't even try to download it.

    The sims 3 web has issues but I found the ways to get around these issues. For one whenever that web acts up clear your internet browser history!

    Clear your internet browser history, Use Firefox or IE the sims web may give you issue if using Chrome or Safari. Log back into the sims 3 web. Don't log into the sims 3 web through your launcher, log onto the sims 3 web while you are directly on the web. Once you do that run your mouse over the store, run your mouse over my store account and click on purchace history. Your items should be there. Just click download and your launcher will automatically open.

      Thank you sooooooooooo much! 

      I think my mistake was being logged in on the launcher.

        Your welcome!!!!! Never use the launcher to download and if things you purchase dont show up after you purchase them clear your internet browser history! The sims web acts up sometimes!
