Sims 3 nothing works that is from store and exchange
@ Maxis tech support or whoever is still maintaining the Sims 3 and its expansions and content from the store and exchange I do hope someone is still maintaining the Sims 3 game, which has an active digital store asking for real money to purchase items, or the Federal Trade Commission and the Consumer Rights Bureau will hear about it ASAP I have been out of the Sims 3 since Jan 2025 now, in June 2025, trying to play again Sims 3, I was prompted to install the newest version of the EA app, which I was forced, since I had no other choice - I wasn't happy about it, because every update brings more problems than it solves, but it couldn't play otherwise, so I had to do it after that, launching Sims 3 I realized that nothing from the premium digital store http://www.store.thesims3.com nothing works, and I'm talking about especially the premium content that was purchased with real money, like extra worlds Midnight Hallow and Roaring Heights, just to name a few, but other virtual assets, in the hundreds, I'd say and in my stupid naivety, I was planning to buy the Lucky Palms, Monte Vista and Sunlit Tides, so like a fool, I was ready to drop $30+ more on new (to me) premium content now, nothing works anymore in the launcher is not recognized as being installed I've tried to reinstall the worlds, the premium content, but it's not working I have saved games from those two premium worlds, Midnight Hallow and Roaring Heights, and I can't load them to continue my stories in-game I can't start a new game with those two worlds, which also come with custom content and items so basically, nothing that I've paid for is working properly anymore after the last EA app update I've tried to download again the content, those two worlds - and a few other assets, out of hundreds that I have - it tellls me was downloaded successfully, yet the launcher won't start with the worlds as installed, won't allow me to load older games, nor to start a new game in those worlds why are you breaking the only Sims game, Sims 3, that's worth attention?? hoping we're going to move to Sims 4, that's a disaster..??.. no, we won't move to Sims 4, I'd rather play inZoi than move to Sims 4 I've spent a lot of money on expansion packs and premium content from the store on Sims 3, and I expect to use it and play it, as normal, like any other player who did the same... what can I do to fix it..??..
Content purchased from SIMS3 online unable to download into game
I purchased a baby dragon from sims 3 online store and it does not show up in my purchase history, BUT it does show up in my download content from the actual sims 3 launch download tab. I'm unable to access the content as shown in the screen shot. The dragon valley base dlc issue was resolved, but i am still unable to access any other content like the string lights or the baby dragon. Mayank R states in the chat when i spoke with them that it remains a technical issue on their side and they are unable to resolve it until it's fixed on their end and advised me to post in the forum. Have had these issues since last year and the dragon valley issue was just resolved. Harish C was useless and unhelpful. Left mid chat while he gave me a laundry list of things to do and didn't explain how to do it or try to answer questions i had on his instructions. The disconnect made me wait an additional 25-30 minutes on top of the 40 minutes i had already waited for Mayank to answer and resolve his failure to assist.
Registering an EP purchased before Origin or EA app
I bought the Sims 3 when it first released. Same with World Adventures. When Origin came out, I couldn't register my games on there since they were already registered. I repurchased the base game I started registering game codes through there. I realised that there was an option to add a non-origin game where you could link the Exe of a game installed directly to your PC and it would be added to the Sims launcher. So that's how I would play World Adventures. Recently I decided I want to play the Sims 3 again and when I went to install everything, I noticed that there was no option on the EA app to add in a game directly downloaded to the PC. So yeah. I'm not sure what to do. Any help would be very much appreciated.
