~"no interactions" available for my adult sims between the child sims except "call over"
Sometimes when I start my game it tells me that I do not have an "authorized copy of The Sims 3", but it usually works if I try again.
- All my CC was deleted.
- Can't re-download them, or anything new. It just gives me a general error.
- That new Sims 3 in-game store thing doesn't even show up in my game... is this a mac thing?
this happened to me, it was surprisingly easy to fix actually, i just exited out of launcher, restarted my computer and there was a update aviablable for the base game, installed that patch and bingo, i'm simming away with no problems hope this helps.
everything else work, so far....
I might have to be quick and move them out of the house. I could try not saving but I do like things to take the road given to them. But at least 15 fires in a row??
Which does not make me a happy camper, not a happy camper at all! The launcher is a fundamental and basic item of the game and as such should work 100% of the time, the fact that it doesn't for so many people tells just one thing... The quality assurance department at EA is non existant or sitting around reading harry potter books when they should be making sure everything works properly before they release A) Expansion Pack and Patches.
- lost half of my CC
- lost Riverview and all saves from it (gosh, I hope it can be fixed, I've had a lot of unsaved lots there that I've spent a looot of time on!! )
- I can only start game once, after I quit it I have to restart my computer to start it again, cuz launcher just freezes if I try to go back... eh...
- When click on the in-game Store button, game crashes to desktop...
there you go so far... haven't been playing long enough to find anything else...
My game runs but when I go to download it says something please update your game when I installed every patch available. However, I have no problems with the game running. There is a lot of scenerios in why people feel the patches are screwing up their computer and EA may never find out all of them. EA should install 3rd party CC and mods and then remove them to see if uninstallation of CC or mods clean up after it self. because if these mods write in the registries and when not uninstalled properly it can cause problems and that is only one scenerio.
I have that flickering issue also, about every two seconds, yours is the first post that I have seen that addresses it. For me, the game is pretty much unplayable now, the constant blink is too distracting for me,
I had that also but with a twist after clicking ok I noticed that was an option to update WA which I did. After updating I could not connect to game because the launcher was not interacting with the internet. However, after I rebooted my computer, my game worked fine. Even though EA does not tell you reboot your computer after patching, you should.
I paid for that stuff though, 🐸🐸🐸🐸!
