Honestly. Like over half of us can't properly install the game or it crashes constantly. A little reassurance would be nice... I feel like we're all totally being ignored and it's making me REALLY ticked. I waited for this?! I paid $50 for this?
Figure out how to properly create a product and sell it. Postponing the release date four months in order to advertise for a game that won't even work when it finally came out... I'm disgusted. I guess this is what happens when EA develops the game in its own studios... put Maxis back in charge of The Sims label!
EDIT: And before anyone tells me to quit whining, note how there are 112 pages in the "Tech Help" section... and the game has been out for 2 days. This is redic.

In my eyes it seems that Maxis knew what they were doing well as of EA doesn't understand a **** thing! I paid 80 bucks cause I got the collecters edition and I want my game to work. So a patch notice saying "Is coming soon" would be nice other then the ignoring crap they are giving.
I know I'll probably get yelled t for this comment and yet I'm sorry EA but pull your head outta your butt!
/bump
make this the official WTFEA thread
Me: I'm curious if you guys are working on a patch for the game? A huge huge huge group of us are getting really really upset cause we can't play. Can you let me know if your working on a patch?
Them: Hi,
Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts
Any patch/updates will be posted on the game official site http://www.thesims3.com/.
If there is anythingelse we can help you with please let us know.
Thank you,

Me: yes I know that but they havent even stated that they are making a patch yet. It is really upsetting all your customers. I ask that you talk to EA about posting if we are getting a patch soon or not. over 3/4ths your customers have been having crash related issues just like mine where they can't play "live mode" This is a game related issue. I'm not trying to yell or get mad I'm just saying please advise the others on the website if we are getting a patch soon otherwize your company will loose millions of dollars due to unhappy customers! If this is showing how EA games takes control of making a patch and not taking control of the fact that their game is wrong and its not our computers then you my friend have already lost a customer.
I Sims team needs to admit they are wrong and the customers are putting it in their **** faces!
Bring Maxis back!
it seemed to be crashing when Download Manager popped-up.
They seriously cannot expect us to wait for 4 months after its official release date and it not to work
has it worked with anyone yet?
I paid nz$120 for the collectors edition and it doesnt freaking work!
get your act together! Geezus!
I guess we would need a patch to figure that out wouldn't we?
i uninstalled the sims 3.
then i went to reinstall it and it says i have an invalid code.
Im pretty sure that if there are 117 pages in the tech forum with the game being out for 2 days, that there are ALOT of people with problems, not just a few. If we do not post our problems, how are they supposed to know what problems people have? I doubt they would release a patch if there were a few pages on the forum, but 117 means there is something wrong.
As for your statement Herro II suggest you search your comp for any EA files if you don't have sims 2 on it and delete all those files. if anything else I suggest you contact EA about that I haven't had that issue even after I tried re installing it.

BTW, my problem was the game would hard crash to a black screen/turn my monitor off. Turns out some conflict with the audio drivers causes issues. Not what I expected :-P
They absolutely need to put Maxis back in charge, u can tell this was an all EA game. I dont play Playstation but most people I know that play it hate EA's games and how when they take control they take away some of the best features of the game. Please give control back to Maxis PLEASE!!
For those of you saying that it's hardware issues, then why are TONS of us not even able to PLAY due to Authenication/Authorization Errors????
I installed my CE and started the game but after loading and getting to the neighborhood screen I get the Disk Authorization Failure. I JUST did a complete destructive recovery of my hard drive (due to virus) and uninstalled all Sonic, cleaned cookies and regisry, restarted and same fraking thing. Sooooo I'll just go ahead and blame EA for this royal **** up.
It locks down my PC When i go home, and i have to use TM to stop it, Is anybody expeirencing Lockdown?
I think its my VC its Nvidia GEFORCE GO 7400..
i paid 74 Euro on this thing!? Jesus! i thought Maxis made it!! :oops:
