Launcher crashes when I open the downloads tab in Sims 3
Game launcher crashes when I open the downloads tab in Sims 3, maybe someone has ideas how to fix this problem. I play in Mac. I uninstalled everything and then reinstalled but unfortunately it didn't help. I bought a new world - Roaring Heights Gold Edition but I can't download it in my game when launcher crashes.
New World, Darkmoore Village
Hello Everyone, I have a new world to share! Das Stakehause (Vampire Themed Restaurant and Vip lounge) is inspired by Darkmoore Village at Universal Studios, Floridas new theme park Epic Universe. One of the attactions there is called Darkmoore, and it has the Classic movie monsters theme. So, I just loved it and thought it would be fun to create this small, walkable village! (its really small, no roads) The World is in my studio, and it has just the empty lots, but the builds are also in my studio so you can add what you like. One of the lots, the burning blade tavern, has CC Windmill blades, I checked the lot with Custard and they do come with the lot, so if you don't like CC, you may want to put something else in its place...but, the effect of the blades burning is very cool! Curse of the Werewolf (Roller Coaster) Darkmoore Village World (empty) The Burning Blade Das StakeHause- Vampire Themed Restuarant Darkmoore Cemetary The Darkmoore Well Schoolhouse There are lots for Dracula and the Invisible man and the Wolfman that are marked. If anyone wants to build and share, I would love it! I'm still working on playtesting the Harry Potter themed world and its almost ready I think to share. There are lots for it in my studio as well. Here is a download link for CC I am using but did not include with Frankenstein Manor. Frankenstein's Laboratory Items[Current Issue] Sims 3 Store world can't register/install
Overview This guide is for registering and installing standalone worlds from the Sims 3 Store, specifically those bought with money. That list includes Dragon Valley, Hidden Springs, Monte Vista, Roaring Heights, and sometimes Barnacle Bay. If you bought a Store world with SimPoints and it's not appearing in your purchase history on the Store site, please contact EA customer support and request that the SimPoints from the failed purchase be added back to your account. How to register a Store world jump to: My code doesn't work jump to: I can't install the world When you purchase a standalone Sims 3 world from Origin or the EA App, you should receive an email confirmation from EA. If you don't see this, check your spam filter. This email should include one product code per item, as shown here in the blacked-out red box: IMPORTANT: Some players have reported finding their product codes on ea.com, under Account Settings > Order History, so please look there as well. If you never received this email and it's not in your spam folder, please contact EA customer support. https://help.ea.com/en/customer-care/ You'll want the live chat option, not email, so you can explain the issue to a real person in real time. If you don't see the live chat option, try again in a private browsing window (or another browser), and continue as a guest rather than signing in. Otherwise, go to this site: https://store.thesims3.com/ Sign in with the same email address and password that you use for other EA sites, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click "Redeem a Code." Enter the code you've received, and the world should appear in your account. You can then download it from your purchase history (Store > My Store Account > Purchase History) or its product page. https://store.thesims3.com/worldProductDetail.html?categoryId=12642 ↑ My code doesn't work If you are sure you've never used this code, but the Store site tells you it's invalid or already been redeemed, you'll need to contact EA customer support to ask for a refund. https://help.ea.com/en/customer-care/ I strongly recommend using live chat rather than email. If you don't see the option, change the location in your browser window to U.S. or U.K., or choose a slightly different category of issue. Or use a private browsing window, or a different browser, and continue as a guest rather than signing in. If EA support doesn't help, please say so in this thread. If support does help, please post anyway letting me know what world(s) caused the issue so we can look for patterns. ↑ I can't install the world If you're getting the "there are no packages to install" error, please see this post: Re: Sims 3 Launcher "There are no packages to install" | EA Forums - 11190163 The standard way to download a world is to go to its product page or open your purchase history (Store > My Store Account > Purchase History), then click the Download button. If this isn't working for you, try a different browser. Firefox generally works best with the Store site. It is generally unnecessary to sign into the launcher before attempting to download or install Store content. However, this has helped some players, so it's worth trying. Mac users only: if you see an Error Downloading Content {0}, please repair the game in Origin, restart your computer, and try again. If the world still won't download properly, try a clean Sims 3 user folder. Rename the existing "The Sims 3" folder in Documents > Electronic Arts, open the launcher to create a new folder, and try to download only that world. If it works, you can move the downloaded world from the new Sims 3 folder to the old one you renamed, trash the new folder, and change the old one's name back to "The Sims 3." Downloaded Store items are found in the Downloads subfolder and have the extension .Sims3Pack. Be sure to delete any older downloads of the world before moving over the fresh copy. If the world downloads properly but doesn't install, please try a clean Sims 3 user folder as well. Rename the existing "The Sims 3" folder in Documents > Electronic Arts, open the launcher to create a new folder, download only that world, and try to install it. If this works, you can install the rest of your Store content into that folder, then move over your saves and any other files you'd like to keep. Please see this guide for a list. If reinstalling all of your Store content would be a burden, or you're confused about another part of this process, please ask for further help in this thread. ↑
Divvy's SV Family: Homer Atreus 2025
My current Sunset Valley save's family: Atreus, like the ancient Greek family in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. However, their names are not in the generational or related order of those classics, just used here and there for fancy. If they are already historical and 3000 years in the past, then I feel its ok for them to expire in a video game ... otherwise it gets too sad. They do get to be ghosts too, and their generations continue on. Book I Mother and father are Helen and Dardanus, whom I tried modelling in CAS to look nothing like anyone I know. However they did end up looking a little like a couple of my university crowd. I made them as mature-aged, so it wouldn't take long for them to become elders and look different, plus make room in the house. Their son Homer was born in CAS with the Play with Genetics button on the Add a Sim drop-up menu, and raised from toddler to adult in the game. They moved into the starter home called Shotgun Style - a two bedroom, 1 bathroom, flat, furnished house with a pleasant light wood, green and pink colour theme in the open living areas, bathroom and kitchen. It also has a decent sized yard. It’s opposite the Alvi household and the Sekemoto's because of being on the corner. It's just down the street, or a short walk from the gym, and just a little further to the school. Dardanus’ Life Time Wish was “Major Master” – to get three degrees at University, which he got. His degrees were Business, Science and Physical Education. The second time he went to University, because they couldn’t afford both on the first time with no scholarships, Helen went with him for a degree in Fine Arts, because her Life Time Wish was “Celebrated Five-Star Chef” – to reach the top of the Culinary career. I like them to get that for the “Minus 1” fridge reward. Here they are lining up for their graduation. To help with getting a scholarship, and for cash in between the University trips, Dardanus got a job from level 1 at the Military Base because it pays the best, and at first, most often. And so, they’ve maintained a few friends and acquaintances from that career. Here is Dardanus with his final degree. The scholarships, emptying their university rental house, books and other junk sold, and a few shifts at their work, improved their lot at home. They decided to keep adding to and improving it until they, I, get sick of it. "My resume got me a nice job at the Science Facility" Dardanus told Helen. "Just in time for school" said Helen. Helen threw Homer a birthday party for his growing up into a Child. All of their work colleagues old and new, were invited. Judy Bunch, Gobias, and possibly Miles work at the Science Facility with Dardanus. And Emma Hatch works at the Diner with Helen, and Molly French. Later in the game, the other colleague got old, retired, and Ethan, or Dustin Bunch (Langerak) took over. Homer grew up in the sparkles and got given an Into the Future outfit as his child-formal. He went to the stylist later, because another child, Sandi French, turned up wearing it as well. They ended up best friends at school. Here he is all styled over, as he strutted to his first day of school. He grew up with the elite inner circle of Sunset Valley children and teens. In fact, he was witness to Sandi’s new baby sister’s arrival in the library. His dad Dardanus wasn’t too far away, so he took Molly to the hospital, and the baby girl was partially named after him, Dar. Later that week, while the snow set in, Homer and his mum Helen were eating Ratatouille dinner. But someone was late getting home. “Where is your father?” asked Helen, “He didn’t mention anything about after work” “He went collecting scrap at the junkyard, for building his inventions. I think I’d like to be an engineer when I grow up,” said Homer. “Why is he focussed on Inventing while he doesn’t need it at work?” asked Helen. “He wants to make harvesters, so we don’t gain Gardening so quickly during the egg to omni plant challenges.” Homer replied. Over at Grady’s Junkyard ... Dardanus had detonated a large pile of scrap, successfully, but got singed and then took too long to get around in the snow to collect it all ... Who should come by and save him? Sandi French who happened to be in the cabin, with a hair dryer. “Thank you Sandi, you saved my life” croaked Dardanus between his chattering teeth. “Can I have some extra rocks and seeds when the school comes to the Science Facility?” she asked. He arrived home, to where it had been raised onto foundations and been given a small carport. And one of the gifts from their friends either at university or of their secret admirers in the mail, a fancy potted square hedge was displayed on the porch. After buying and using a great bath from The Store, he realised Homer as fast asleep in his cute bedroom. The selfie of himself and his wife Helen hung in the kitchen, and someone, probably Homer had gotten a portion of dinner out for him. Dardanus detonated salvaged items in his own backyard when things warmed up a bit. The neighbours, and the fiery came to see, while he ran around collecting up the scrap. The worst or best depending how one views it, was when he detonated the big scrap pile at the junkyard, causing the biggest explosion nobody never did see. This is what it looked like after the dust settled. It was a big job collecting the scrap, and the salvageable items, which was almost everything. Which he tried to hide in his yard, and we felt rather guilty. Even though the Junkyard still works, Dardanus promised one day he or his family would buy it and restore it. The next day he disposed of it all, and they did this evaporating thing. *** Gunther Goth got old. He always seems to do so quickly. Or maybe we're just too absorbed in our own game that we forget to watch him progress. Shortly after is when Dardanus built a time machine because with all of the Inventing he rolled a wish to do so, and to travel either into the future or past. I thought it would be harmless like the Miner, but this little child sim appeared, genetically Dardanus’ but not Helen’s. I could have not saved and played without her existence, but I thought it was interesting, and it might be bad karma or something. The game told me Dardanus witnessed a couple arguing and that he went to give advice to them to try to help. There was no cheater reputation or angry relationship panel from Helen. There's no ex girlfriend or mystery acquaintance in his relationship panels either. It is a mystery who the mother was. The game has never said. The game named her Hilda, which I kept. She went straight over to the soccer game that Homer won with his Festival tickets. One of her traits is Athletic as is Dardanus. While she played, her new bedroom was built. Plus a hallway and a second bathroom. Homer's bedroom was given a half-more mature look. Stay tuned, there is more. Looks like it all has to go below as replies of 10 or less ... ok ...The Land of Oz
Starting a new thread to provide information on my custom world "the land of oz" as I made updates and add new lots The world was featured on Youtube channel CJplays, in an incomplete state.
