Re: EA App and Older Sims Games

As more players switch to EA App, I hope to have an accurate list of Sims games and their status within the new launcher; as I hear more from other players and do my research I will update it accordingly.

As of now, this is the current status of The Sims games available in EA App:

MAIN

  • The Sims 2: WORKING
  • The Sims 3: WORKING (Store content has not been fixed yet)
  • The Sims 4: WORKING

SPINOFF

  • The Sims Medieval: WORKING
  • The Sims Life Stories: WORKING
  • The Sims Pet Stories: WORKING
  • The Sims Castaway Stories: WORKING

OTHER

  • The Sims Carnival SnapCity: WORKING
  • The Sims Carnival BumperBlast: WORKING

    @Tremayne4260 Yes. With EA App, all Store contents still seem not installed, whereas, with Origin, only a few of them seem not installed.

    Also, Medieval doesn't launch.
  • Hey! I recently downloaded SIMS Medieval from EA App and didn't have a problem downloading or launching the game. My problem came when I tried to save the game's progress.  I played it for a while and it wouldn't save and quit. It wouldn't save under the save as option either. It just gave me an error message to look under readme details. I'm so confused  I tried to repair the game in the EA app but it gave me a download error and said can't download it at this time or update the game. Try again later.  Can you help me please?

  • Now that you mentioned it, I think it was Error 16. So, has that been resolved yet?

    @writerofpoetry , to my knowledge Error 16 has not been resolved since it first appeared. One of the causes can be storing the games on One Drive as apposed to saving them directly on your hard drive. Most of the older Sim Games look to read the game data directly from the hard drive instead of One Drive. You should be able to change the "save to" location in either Origin or the EA App.
