I had to walk away I was so frustrated. Finally got it to work, had to go to top left in the EA app and click help, App Recovery, clear cache. Relieved it worked but it shouldn't be this hard. EA needs to figure this out.
Thank you for trying to help @SelinaKyles. It's not a matter of not knowing how to download a purchased pack. There is something going on with the EA app not allowing purchased packs to show as such and therefore no option to download. Many people are posting about it on the help site. Of course EA is not responding so I…
I don't have the option to download. It only has the purchase button. Other people are having the same issue but no one at EA is giving an explanation or solution. Pretty sure its illegal to take someone's money and not give them what they purchased. I bought Horse Ranch over 12 hours ago and still can't download it.
Just came on to ask the same question so thanks @Chazzzy for asking for me! I love all the CAS and BB but don't want the paranormal in my game. And the sale makes it a much better price for me to justify it.
I was just able to play the game by going in Offline mode in Origin! I've done all the other fixes that other simmers have suggested but nothing worked. All updates to Windows, drivers, Visual C++, etc. I did not do the one mentioned this morning about turning off sound in Origin. Since the patch I could only play for 5…
Has anyone seen a SimGuru acknowledge the patch has caused so much frustration? I feel like in the past they have posted or tweeted they have seen our comments and are looking into possible solutions. So far I haven't seen anything. I really wanted to buy SE when it is released but obviously not going to if I can't even…
Thanks for your help, I've been following that thread as well. I'm definitely not the only one having issues so I hope we get a fix soon. I need this game in my life right now.
Has anyone seen that EA is aware of all the people who can't play the game right now? I would think they'd want to get this fixed ASAP or their Snowy Escape sales will most likely suffer on Friday.
Wish I hadn't downloaded the patch! I can play for about 5 minutes then the lag is ridiculous and then the game freezes and I have to shut down my computer to get out of it. No mods, No CC. I repaired the game in Origin, deleted the localthumbcache, restarted my computer...nothing solved this issue. I've NEVER had a…
@Rflong7 your Legacy Island III world is sooooo amazing! Every place I go I am amazed by the attention to detail and time you must have spent on each lot! Thank you for making such an interesting and fun world for my sims!!!! I just downloaded it on Friday, played a few hours, played tons on Saturday and then some on…
Haha No! :) I had taken a break, then played Sims 4 for a bit, but kept coming back to Sims 3. I now own all I want from the store and now with WA I think I'm good. My game feels complete.
Loving it so far @KATENESS trying to decide if I want SN...don't really want the SN in my gameplay ( I know I can turn them and the moon off) but I might want all the CAS and Build/Buy!
Thanks for your info @GalacticGal. And thanks @phoebebebe13 for your suggestions on Amazon. My head is kind of spinning with all the info I have now so I think I'll just step away for a day or so and rethink my options.
Thanks @phoebebebe13 for all that very helpful information!! Ugh. I feel like I'm just not going to be able to get a computer that will run the Sims for my budget and my restriction of a Dell, non-gaming computer. This is so frustrating. After all the money spent on this game only to have to walk away from it. :( Time to…
@phoebebebe13 I'm not going to hold you responsible for whatever computer I decide to buy. I was just coming on here to get some advice, which are suggestions. Ultimately its up to me what I decide to spend my money on. I find it very hard to believe that the SIMs is designed to be played ONLY on extreme gaming computers.…
Ok, thank you for all your input, I did not mean to start such a heated thread!! :neutral: I'm still wondering though...Is there ANY Dell desktop that will run the SIMs? I'm just not sure I have the option to buy a different brand, as much as I would REALLY like to. So no disrespect to you @phoebebebe13 because I highly…
Thanks for your input. I am in the US and my budget is under $1000. (Around $700 would be ideal) Sims is the only game I play but I will need to use the new computer for other stuff too like email, pictures, etc.
So frustrating...now its almost a month with no fix!! I spent hours building a restaurant for GF because I NEVER send my sims there. Remodeled a spa too only to find I couldn't place them. Gone back to Sims 3 and will not buy the next SP, GP or EP until some serious attention is given to what's already wrong or broken with…
I don't have cc or mods and it happens to my game too. I didn't realize it was a bug, I was always like ,"what?? What's is happening?" And then just figured I missed it. :D
Does anyone know if this was fixed? It's not in the patch notes but sometimes there are fixes not listed. I haven't updated due to the broken clubs so I can't go check myself. Really hoping it was fixed! :/
I am aware that I can remake the outfit...what I'm saying is the original outfit that I made is no longer an option for my sim to change into by clicking on them or a dresser or a mirror. Which is the issue everyone here is talking about.
Its actually not that simple. When I try to change back the outfit by clicking on the sim or a dresser or mirror...the original outfit is no longer an option.
I have no mods or cc. If they buy any of the festival shirts, or win the curry challenge shirt they change into it immediately and their outfit is replaced/gone forever.
Thanks @keekee53. I would have thought so too. It can be that hard to do if it was once an option and now it isn't. Can only hope they fix it in the next patch. Otherwise GF is dead to me :D
Wish I had seen this thread BEFORE I spent all day building a restaurant for GF!! I can't imagine the reasoning for this!? I am so mad right now! And here it is almost 3 weeks after the OP and clearly no fix. :/
