    @flaoties  Patch 1.70 is the designation for the 64-bit Mac version of Sims 3.  You can't install it in Windows and don't need to have it in order to download store content.

    Instead, go into Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Downloads and delete any copies of Monte Vista you see there.  Then download a fresh copy and try to install it.  Let me know whether it works.

@flaoties  Did you also manually install Monte Vista?  You'd need to open the launcher's Downloads tab, check the box, and click Install.

If you already did this, please check the Downloads tab again and let me know whether MV shows up with a proper thumbnail or just a box.  If the latter, you probably have this issue:
