Sporadic Outages: STATUS OF SIMS 3 STORE
Store has become seemingly unstable- has come online and offline repeatedly over the last few months. @me1260 Posted a link of which you can use to check whether the store is available: https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/store.thesims3.com.html This is a much better way to check rather than manually commenting whether the store is experiencing an outage or not!! Thanks me1260!! Whenever the Sims 3 Store is experiencing an outage, I wouldn't recommend buying SimPoints, worlds, expansion/stuff packs, or any other sims 3 content from the EA app, EA website, or Origin. Please note that the Daily Deal Times may be impacted due to outages. Keep an eye on the Spreadsheet and Daily Deal (DD) 2018 Rotation List and Sales Help | EA Forums - 1821670 for any updates. Happy simming everyone :)Solved420Views2likes13CommentsProblem with digital key
Hi, I have a problem I bought 4 new worlds for TS3. I registered 3 worlds through The Sims 3 Store page. I can't register the 4th world either through The Sims 3 Store page or through the EA site. I don't know what to do in this case. The code still tells me that I have already registered, while I did not register the game before. Thanks in advance for the answers.30Views0likes1CommentHaving Trouble Registering Steam Digital Copy of Sims 3
Greetings Simmers, I've been having trouble with trying to register my digital copy of the Sims 3 Base Game from Steam on the Sims 3 Website. When I go to enter the code, it says it's invalid, even though I typed everything correctly. From what I know, it's not been fully used yet. Especially since I even tried registering it days after I got the game, and it still showed as invalid. I did try getting in contact with a live representative, but no problems were really found on my EA account and was told that my problem would be passed along to support. I also have a transcript of the entire conversation, if I am allowed to post that. Is there a way to solve this? Any information will be useful, because I cannot be the only one who's had issues with this. Thank you for taking the time to read this.76Views0likes5CommentsDaily Deal (DD) 2018 Rotation List and Sales Help
The Daily Deal List and Sales Help The editing issues with this thread have been fixed by EA_David! The long process now begins to relink hyperlinks where possible and to delete information relevant only to the previous forum. Note that the lists of daily deals in the posts at the beginning of this thread are under review as entries were eliminated during the migration from the previous forum. For an accurate list, see the new posts in this thread that RadicalChick posts daily. Also view the DD spreadsheet. The Sims 3 Store Daily Deal offers a selected store item at a discounted price for one, two or three hours. Many of the items are discounted at 75% off or more. The current Daily Deal list, which was introduced on September 23, 2014 at 12:07 a.m. UTC, includes 977 deals. After the 977th deal ends, the deals begin at Deal 1 again. A full rotation of the list takes 82 days. (See this post for background information about the Daily Deal list.) The first page of this thread has been set up to include the list of the deals, and to include information that was available on the first page of the previous DD threads. To the first time user, this thread contains a lot of information. To help you find the information you are seeking, the first post is a contents list with hyperlinks to posts and threads within the Sims 3 forum to help Simmers own the store or at least as much content as they would like and, to get the most value for their simpoints. Note - This thread replaces the original "September 2014 Daily Deals Rotation List" thread created by Ximph that you may see referenced in comments below. The original thread is now closed and relevant information from that thread can be found within this thread. ***** NOTEWORTHY EA App and Store content - EA_Cade has confirmed that all Sims 3 content owned in the web store is compatible with the EA app. See the original post here. EA_Cade also provides a link to download Origin Thin Setup should you want to reinstall Origin. If you are having difficulties downloading store content in the EA app, check out this thread in EA Answers HQ. However, EA_Cade posted in Answers HQ that "This issue should now be resolved with the latest EA app update (please ensure that you are on EA app build 12.115.0.5372 or later). " Merelhyn created a thread to provide simmers with guidelines on purchasing all the sets, compilations and venues available in the Sims 3 Store for the least amount of simpoints. SpiredMoth's Cheapest Paths website provides updates to Merelhyn's guidelines with 2022 costs for the cheapest paths to complete of sets and compilations. SpiredMoth has also created the S3S Tools spreadsheet to help save as many simpoints as possible with your store purchases.

Hi! Hope everyone is safe and well! :) I was just directed here by EA help & support who said perhaps the Forum Moderator who has more experience could help. I purchased Roaring Heights today on EA. The EA app said I had new in-game content. However, it was not installed in the game. The EA help associate had me go to the Sims 3 site and after I redeemed the code there, I could click it for download, however it would not get passed a 'member login' for the sims 3 launcher. The sims launcher was already logged in fine of course. The EA support person had me change passwords everywhere, but still the 'member login' that popped up from the download would not login like the launcher's own login, the sims 3 site or EA and it's app would.. So I have not been able to get the world package to my machine for the sims 3 package installer to install it. Thank you, any help and guidance, to get it to work would be appreciated!53Views0likes3CommentsWhat to buy with 990 sim points?
Hey there, I'm getting back into the Sims 3, and I'm very pleased to see the store isn't closed yet. That said, I have no clue how to download all my points again. I also used to have a file with all the store content, to make clean-up generally easier, is there any reason it wouldn't work? It's been a number of years, and several computers since. Thanks! Special thanks to all who've kept on playing The Sims 3. It truly is a great game.158Views2likes12Comments
