I just can't believe there is a company worse than EA in the support department. How has no one mentioned this in all our discussions about Steam v Origin?
@Jude525 - I know your situation is very aggravating, but I had to laugh at this ^.
You crossed out "if anyone has a solution" Does that mean you did find one? I hope so. It would be awful to lose access to your Steam games. I do have a bit on Steam, but I don't play those games lately.
Yes, I did resolve the problem. The messages from Steam got lost somewhere for about an hour or so and suddenly my email was flooded with at least a half dozen password reset emails.
But, forget that. I just saw that EA/Origin has actually updated TS3 to 64 bit!!!!! Has anyone tried it yet? Well, on the Mac. The Windows update hasn't come out yet. I'm very excited, but what will this mean for my full disc installation? Will they also release a standalone update? Or might someone backload it. I have to say, if this comes through then I would have to bite the bullet and do an Origin installation instead. I just hope all my iffy game codes from eBay are valid. Although I might consider re-purchasing any that are denied if the game actually performs better.
That is assuming the Windows update actually happens. They HAD to update the Mac side if they wanted to keep selling TS3 to Mac users. The current MacOS does not support ANY 32 bit software.
And, the timing couldn't have been better. My trusty old laptop has finally reached end of life. Running games was totally sketchy these past few weeks. After several freezes in Subnautica: Below Zero when I hadn't saved recently I had to pursue my options. Luckily, I've had a recent windfall and felt comfortable investing in a new system. A tower this time. No more waiting for outdated hardware to kill the system.
I now have a sleek new, glass side, RGB lit system. It arrived earlier tonight. I set up the basics, then immediately installed the Below Zero update that dropped on Thursday. Been a blast seeing the graphics in full glory and experiencing the story from the beginning. Heading to bed now. I've set Steam and Origin to install games over night. Tomorrow I'll install Adobe Photoshop and Premiere. Then I'll wait a bit to see what happens with TS3 before doing the long chore of reinstalling that whole thing.
Meanwhile, local Covid numbers have escalated and my state has rolled back several requirements for social gatherings and requested that employers consider reducing in office hours again. I suspected they had moved too quickly months ago. On a positive note, my local Red Cross is looking for plasma donors, such as myself, who have come through the disease. I'm looking forward to knowing that I am helping people get better faster. Currently the use of active antibody plasma is only approved for hospitalized patients, but it is a start.
Hope all is well with everyone. I'm off to bed for a few hours sleep before diving back into Subnautica. (Pun intended.)
@Jude525 - For now, TS3 still works well, with mods, on my Windows 10 system. I don't know if I would want to upgrade to 64 bit if I have to go with version 1.69. LOL, I can't even remember why some of us are reluctant to use 1.69 over 1.67. I still have my Windows 7 tower with Sims 3 still loaded. If I can't play on my Windows 10, I can still play on my old system. I still have a Vista computer and could reload The Sims. That would be so strange with no story progression and graphics from the earlier 2000s.
My province is in a similar situation to your state. How wonderful that you recovered and are now able to donate plasma.

I'm curious... Did they recode the game to go by x64 standards or simply took the x32 code and hastily tweaked it into being runable by an exclusively x64 system? In other words, does it crash every couple minutes?

Stay safe everyone
That's what I was afraid of. They didn't rewrite the code, they (most likely) simply changed the header to something like making the game appear to be x64 friendly, or made a similar tweak, while the content is still coded in x32 (it would be fine-ish on hybrid x32/x64 systems, like most versions of Windows, but not on real purely x64 systems).

Heck.. since the last big windows update..
My audio workstation completely destroyed all projects are gone nothings works.
Complete reinstalled for hours still some problems...

And now Sims 3 Update avaliable.... Okay then..

Does y'all know the sound of eyes falling out of your head? Like in most cartoons? This squeaky sound? Yap.. I still screaming and I'm done... Time to to sleep a bit...
This year i reinstalled Windows 10, 4 or 5 times and it's so frustrating... I'm so, so done with this year...
The 64-bit Mac version of Sims 3 does at least use more than 2 GB RAM. I haven't been able to get it above 4 yet, although I haven't had as much time to test as I'd like. It's only crashed for me once, when I exited without saving, although that might have been my fault.
The game does crash a lot for people playing on integrated Intel chips, which means all laptops other than the high-end 15" and 16" MacBook Pros. They seem to be mostly okay playing on the lowest settings, but that's about it. I guess that puts them in the same boat as Windows users with similar hardware: some can get the game to run okay on lower settings, some really can't.
There are a number of other issues with installing the game, even more with graphics, and perhaps even more than that with gameplay; we're still looking. It's especially strange that gameplay features would break, since the game itself isn't supposed to have changed at all. I hope the same thing doesn't happen with a possible but not at all guaranteed Windows version, because if it did, most players would probably want to keep the old version instead.

@Lexers615 The hard limit for a 32-bit program is only 4 GB if that program is large-address aware, which the Mac version of Sims 3 has never been until now. That was my point, that I know it can go over 2 GB but haven't seen it go over 4.

Morning! :) Well, actually it's past 1pm here but, let's say, currently my sleeping rhythm is a complete mess. :P I've just read about the problems with the updates and crashes - I'm sorry for all players out there having these problems - and am glad and thankful that my Steam Sims 3 version and my one year old Windows 10 notebook still seem to come along well but I also have to admit that I haven't played for the last two or three weeks due to a total lack of time. I even managed to install and play the Sims Medieval Origin version on my older Windows 10 laptop two weeks ago and it works (yeah, I have two Windows 10 laptops; a long and sad story about weak main boards and crashing systems -.-)! Okay, there were crashes of the game but not that often and this is rather due to the fact that the older laptop has problems with ALL moving images (including streams and videos). Now I'm wondering if world packs like Monte Vista would still cooperate with my Steam Version of Sims 3 (I registered the basic game on Origin but play via Steam). I haven't tried yet but I would love to buy some of the worlds (Monte Vista and Dragon Valley). Currently, I'm waiting - rather hoping - for a world expansion packs sale on Origin - well, hope dies last -, a SimPoint sale because there are still entries left on my store wish list and for an expansion pack and Add-on sale on Steam (sadly this didn't happen during the last summer sale). If they updated the basic game on Origin, what about the world expansion packs and their compatibility with the Steam Version (via the Sims 3 Store, I guess)? Does anyone know if it is still working to buy the world packs on Origin and download them via the Sims 3 Store for the Steam version? O.O
Long answer, you have to make sure your Steam edition of the base game is registered on the Sims 3 site. You can add it to a current account if you have one, or start a new account and register your Steam editions on that. If you start a new account, you won't be able to access any store content you've already purchased on the old account.
Sounds crazy but I have FOUR base game codes registered to my Sims 3 account. Original purchase Origin code, base game disc code, and 2 base game pre-2012 disc codes. (Long story) So if you need to add a code to your current account that works fine.

Hi @Me1620,
I'm finally sorting out my store downloads and am using your store installation guide as a guide. In that guide you mention Adventurous Life! is not installed (which includes Africa Inspiration Collection and Safari Living Set). So I thought maybe you have World Inspiration Collection installed which includes all of the above. But according to the guide you have not. I don't know if you wrote no by mistake in your guide or that you forgot to install Adventurous Life! Hence this message to let you know just in case you forgot to install that set.
EDIT: Ok, maybe I made a mistake with above comment. So you don't have Adventurous Life! installed but you do have the Safari Living Set installed. I can't find Africa Inspiration Collection being installed but it's probably somewhere in that guide.

Hi @Me1620,
I'm finally sorting out my store downloads and am using your store installation guide as a guide. In that guide you mention Adventurous Life! is not installed (which includes Africa Inspiration Collection and Safari Living Set). So I thought maybe you have World Inspiration Collection installed which includes all of the above. But according to the guide you have not. I don't know if you wrote no by mistake in your guide or that you forgot to install Adventurous Life! Hence this message to let you know just in case you forgot to install that set.
EDIT: Ok, maybe I made a mistake with above comment. So you don't have Adventurous Life! installed but you do have the Safari Living Set installed. I can't find Africa Inspiration Collection being installed but it's probably somewhere in that guide.
@SimLibby - I looked back in my guide. It has been a while since I used the spreadsheet which is basically Ciane's spreadsheet. (The difference is Ciane chose to install compilations to minimize the number of installations while I chose to install the smaller sets so that the in-game set collections in the catalog show the sets separately rather than in a compilation.) It does appear that I made an error on the "My Install" tab by indicating I did not install Africa Inspiration Collection. The main working sheet is the "all" tab. "AfrInspCAS" was installed in EDC 13.
When I thought I was done installing everything, I used Crinrict's S3S browser to check my inventory to see if I missed anything.

Thanks @Me1620 for your response and getting back to me. I appreciate it. I'm also going to install sets instead of compilations and your spreadsheet helped me a lot. I'm almost done sorting everything out and cataloging it. When I'm going to install, I will use the resources Ciane has made available. While I'm at it, I'm also going to install the missing stencils with her 'ode to' lot.
Comments
Yes, I did resolve the problem. The messages from Steam got lost somewhere for about an hour or so and suddenly my email was flooded with at least a half dozen password reset emails.
But, forget that. I just saw that EA/Origin has actually updated TS3 to 64 bit!!!!! Has anyone tried it yet? Well, on the Mac. The Windows update hasn't come out yet. I'm very excited, but what will this mean for my full disc installation? Will they also release a standalone update? Or might someone backload it. I have to say, if this comes through then I would have to bite the bullet and do an Origin installation instead. I just hope all my iffy game codes from eBay are valid. Although I might consider re-purchasing any that are denied if the game actually performs better.
That is assuming the Windows update actually happens. They HAD to update the Mac side if they wanted to keep selling TS3 to Mac users. The current MacOS does not support ANY 32 bit software.
And, the timing couldn't have been better. My trusty old laptop has finally reached end of life. Running games was totally sketchy these past few weeks. After several freezes in Subnautica: Below Zero when I hadn't saved recently I had to pursue my options. Luckily, I've had a recent windfall and felt comfortable investing in a new system. A tower this time. No more waiting for outdated hardware to kill the system.
I now have a sleek new, glass side, RGB lit system. It arrived earlier tonight. I set up the basics, then immediately installed the Below Zero update that dropped on Thursday. Been a blast seeing the graphics in full glory and experiencing the story from the beginning. Heading to bed now. I've set Steam and Origin to install games over night. Tomorrow I'll install Adobe Photoshop and Premiere. Then I'll wait a bit to see what happens with TS3 before doing the long chore of reinstalling that whole thing.
Meanwhile, local Covid numbers have escalated and my state has rolled back several requirements for social gatherings and requested that employers consider reducing in office hours again. I suspected they had moved too quickly months ago. On a positive note, my local Red Cross is looking for plasma donors, such as myself, who have come through the disease. I'm looking forward to knowing that I am helping people get better faster. Currently the use of active antibody plasma is only approved for hospitalized patients, but it is a start.
Hope all is well with everyone. I'm off to bed for a few hours sleep before diving back into Subnautica. (Pun intended.)
I own the store as of 1+7/17/17

My build thread in the Creative Corner
My province is in a similar situation to your state. How wonderful that you recovered and are now able to donate plasma.

The game does crash a lot for people playing on integrated Intel chips, which means all laptops other than the high-end 15" and 16" MacBook Pros. They seem to be mostly okay playing on the lowest settings, but that's about it. I guess that puts them in the same boat as Windows users with similar hardware: some can get the game to run okay on lower settings, some really can't.
There are a number of other issues with installing the game, even more with graphics, and perhaps even more than that with gameplay; we're still looking. It's especially strange that gameplay features would break, since the game itself isn't supposed to have changed at all. I hope the same thing doesn't happen with a possible but not at all guaranteed Windows version, because if it did, most players would probably want to keep the old version instead.

FREE ITEMS FROM "THE SIMS 3 STORE"
Well, actually it's past 1pm here but, let's say, currently my sleeping rhythm is a complete mess. :P
I've just read about the problems with the updates and crashes - I'm sorry for all players out there having these problems - and am glad and thankful that my Steam Sims 3 version and my one year old Windows 10 notebook still seem to come along well but I also have to admit that I haven't played for the last two or three weeks due to a total lack of time. I even managed to install and play the Sims Medieval Origin version on my older Windows 10 laptop two weeks ago and it works (yeah, I have two Windows 10 laptops; a long and sad story about weak main boards and crashing systems -.-)! Okay, there were crashes of the game but not that often and this is rather due to the fact that the older laptop has problems with ALL moving images (including streams and videos).
Now I'm wondering if world packs like Monte Vista would still cooperate with my Steam Version of Sims 3 (I registered the basic game on Origin but play via Steam). I haven't tried yet but I would love to buy some of the worlds (Monte Vista and Dragon Valley). Currently, I'm waiting - rather hoping - for a world expansion packs sale on Origin - well, hope dies last -, a SimPoint sale because there are still entries left on my store wish list and for an expansion pack and Add-on sale on Steam (sadly this didn't happen during the last summer sale). If they updated the basic game on Origin, what about the world expansion packs and their compatibility with the Steam Version (via the Sims 3 Store, I guess)? Does anyone know if it is still working to buy the world packs on Origin and download them via the Sims 3 Store for the Steam version? O.O
Long answer, you have to make sure your Steam edition of the base game is registered on the Sims 3 site. You can add it to a current account if you have one, or start a new account and register your Steam editions on that. If you start a new account, you won't be able to access any store content you've already purchased on the old account.
Sounds crazy but I have FOUR base game codes registered to my Sims 3 account. Original purchase Origin code, base game disc code, and 2 base game pre-2012 disc codes. (Long story) So if you need to add a code to your current account that works fine.

I'm finally sorting out my store downloads and am using your store installation guide as a guide. In that guide you mention Adventurous Life! is not installed (which includes Africa Inspiration Collection and Safari Living Set). So I thought maybe you have World Inspiration Collection installed which includes all of the above. But according to the guide you have not. I don't know if you wrote no by mistake in your guide or that you forgot to install Adventurous Life! Hence this message to let you know just in case you forgot to install that set.
EDIT: Ok, maybe I made a mistake with above comment. So you don't have Adventurous Life! installed but you do have the Safari Living Set installed. I can't find Africa Inspiration Collection being installed but it's probably somewhere in that guide.

@SimLibby - I looked back in my guide. It has been a while since I used the spreadsheet which is basically Ciane's spreadsheet. (The difference is Ciane chose to install compilations to minimize the number of installations while I chose to install the smaller sets so that the in-game set collections in the catalog show the sets separately rather than in a compilation.) It does appear that I made an error on the "My Install" tab by indicating I did not install Africa Inspiration Collection. The main working sheet is the "all" tab. "AfrInspCAS" was installed in EDC 13.
When I thought I was done installing everything, I used Crinrict's S3S browser to check my inventory to see if I missed anything.
