Hey there- I'm sorry if it wasn't clear, but you actually do have to install two patches. One patches your Sims 3 base game, and the other patches your highest expansion pack. The reasons why are complicated, but in the end, if your base game and expansion pack code versions don't match (because, say, you only installed…

Hey there- sorry to hear you're having trouble. I'd like to see if I can help. What sort of error message are you getting? Could you transcribe it here? Thanks :)

Hey there! I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble, and I'd like to help out if I can. First, I have a couple of questions- what operating system are you installing the game on, and are you installing from a physical copy or a digital download version? Thanks :)
-
Specifically, you need to use the "The Drafter's Companion" stool. It appears in both the "Entertainment > Hobbies & Skills" sort, and the "Comfort > Miscellaneous Comfort" sort. I hope this helps. :)

*psssst* You didn't hear it from me, but you might want to look for lifefruit seeds by the graveyard. ;)

We're really sorry about the inconvenience- our web guys do their best to prepare, but every time we release a new product, everyone flocks to the site, and all that extra traffic coming in at once can make for the occasional traffic jam in our servers. ;) I hope you understand, and please bear with us!

Hi there! I just wanted to quickly reply to julienrob2004's question. As another poster mentioned, the property system in Sims 3 has been updated with the latest version, so that it is no longer reliant on inventory objects. There's actually even a whole new interface in the game that now that will allow you to manage all…

Hey there! I'd like to help out if I can. First, I have to ask, did the items you submitted at the consignment store actually sell? Because it can take a couple days before items consigned at the consignment store are technically "sold" and give you money (accompanied by a text pop-up). In fact, sometimes items you consign…

Hey there- Sorry to hear you've been having trouble. It sounds like your BG and EP versions are out of sync. You might find the solution to your problem in this thread- http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/30/207683.page

Hey there- I've been hanging out on the boards today to help people if they had issues with the new EP, and one of the other Gurus pointed out this thread to me. Since I'm unintentionally involved, I figured I'd help. :) Now, first off, let's make sure that you're going to the right place to select the uploaded Sim as your…

Hi there- I'm sorry that you're having some trouble, and would like to help you and some of the others who have posted about this issue. Could you please post a copy of your DxDiag for diagnostic purposes? To collect this information, go to the start menu on your desktop, select "run", type "dxdiag" into the window which…

Houses downloaded from the Exchange don't automatically place themselves in the town- we figured the user would rather decide where to place it themselves. ;) Just check the Lots & Houses section from the Edit Town mode, or- if the houses had families in them- the Sim Bin. Hope that helps. :D
-
Well, first, check the Installed Content section of the Launcher, and make sure everything you want installed is there. You'll be able to see Riverview from the main menu- when you create a new neighborhood file, it will be included in the drop down. Clothing will appear in CAS- new items purchased from the Store will…
-
Ah, you've kind of got it switched around- you minimize the EADM, and have the Launcher up. Just close everything down (the game, the launcher, the EADM), and then double click on the Sims 3 icon on your desktop. That will bring up the Launcher window, and leave the EADM minimized in the background. Then navigate over to…
-
Well, there are a few possibilities. For one, the Store- and the Sims 3 web site in general- have been having some issues throughout the day due to heavy traffic from the launcher of the game. Some people have been able to download fine, but others have been getting frequent download errors. Also, its possible that you're…
-
Well, different kinds of content show up in different places. What sort of content did you download?
-
Sim Points are purchased through the Store's billing page- for reference, 1 Sim Point is equal to 1 cent, and 100 Sim Points is equal to one US dollar. If you want to buy some, click on where it displays your Sim Point balance, or simply try to buy something you don't have enough points for, and it will automatically pop…
-
When something you download from the exchange is marked as having "Premium Content", it means that it uses items, patterns, or clothing available in the Sims 3 Store, which you have to own yourself first in order for the user content created with those items to be installed. Hope that helps. :D
-
You know, right above the checkbox for Story Progression in the options menu, there's an option for turning off Sim aging, right? ;P Hope that helps. :D
-
Mac users need to patch their games before they can download and install items to their game. Hope that helps. :D
-
Hm. Try deleting and re-downloading the content- it might have been corrupted during download. Also, check the Quick Guide to Downloading sticky that I posted on this board, and see if that sorts things out. Hope that helps. :)
-
You can upload Families (a single Sim alone on a lot counts as a "family", btw) as well, which when you install them, will appear in the Sim Bin. You can then place them as a neighbor to your Sim while in Edit Town mode, if you like. :D
-
Hey there, maleficium- try following the instructions in the Quick Guide to Downloading sticky I've posted here, and see if that gets it to work. Hope that helps. :D
-
Well, new objects don't appear on the Exchange- content on the Exchange is mostly custom presets for existing objects in your game. Click on the TVs and workout benches already in your Build/Buy mode, and check the custom presets (they're basically like Sims 2 design modes) for them- I have a feeling that the things you…
-
Things have been a little slow today. Wait a while and try refreshing the page again. It might take a little while for the points to show. Hope that helps. :D
-
Well, first I recommend going to the "Game Updates" section of your Launcher, and seeing if your game needs to download and install any updates. Hope that helps. :D
-
Ahh- it looks like you're trying to download with the EADM. Check the sticky Quick Guide to Downloading that I posted on this board, follow those instructions, and you should be able to get it working. :) Hope that helps. :D
-
Ahhh- I checked your Studio page, and it turns out that what you uploaded wasn't a Sim, it was a single-Sim family. I know, it's confusing. :P Here's what you do- go into your game with the Sim. Take the Sim to a mirror and select "Change Appearance", or to a dresser and select "Plan Outfit". That will take you into CAS.…

Due to heavy traffic, we've been having some intermittent issues with the Forums and Store. Try again later, and hopefully things should be working. If you still want some new stuff, though, you can always head over to the Exchange and see the content that other users are uploading. :) Hope that helps. :D
-
Actually, what you need to do is go to the page for the Sim that you've uploaded. From there, next to the portrait, there should be a button somewhere saying "use this Sim as my avatar". Just hit that, and it should switch over. Hope that helps. :D
Howdy, Stranger!
