@GRFN10 What is the pack your having issues with? Are you installing from digital download or disc?
- @roberta591 Well the last pack I purchased was Into The Future and it was a digital download. Right now I have all of the games installed as digital, because I unistalled all of the games (digital and disc) and reinstalled them (digital and disc) and it didn't make a difference. Before I did that I only had the Pets, Island Paradise, Into The Future, Fast Lane Stuff and High-End Loft Stuff as digital, and they worked fine until the Windows update.
@GRFN10 The disc version is meant to run with the SecuROM DRM that the game was released with. All the packs and store items have been updated to work with Origin with the game at version 1.69. The disc versions when installed have to be detected and patched for Origin. Some packs don't seem to patch from disc when installed. As you have already uninstalled once I recommend uninstalling everything. Get a program called ccleaner (there is a free version) and clean the registry. THEN install the digital download of the base game. Test the base game - start the game to you get to live mode. If the base game runs install the digital download version of the packs in order they were released to market. Test the game with each pack install. This will tell you if you computer is having trouble with one (or more) packs and which one(s).
- @roberta591 Thanks, I'll give it a try and let you know what happens. Hopefully I'll be able to play soon.
