  • So after watching probably 8 videos on youtube about this pack, it doesn't look like we have the force and can't actually become Jedis. I'm pretty disappointed just from watching people play the pack. I'm still debating if I want to spend money on it - if I do it will only be to get a BB8. I'm a big star wars fan and I…
  • There is absolutely no reason for me to have ANY problems with this game and ALL the expansion packs with the system I have, and my computer is only 1 year old. That being said, this EP (which I was SOOOOO excited about) is the only one that lags as well. All of my cities are just fine. It's so bad that I haven't played…
  • Thank you, that was helpful as I have 16 GB of RAM, I thought that there should be no issue at all with the memory thing, but if it's the graphics card that could be different issue.
  • Bump! Please help, I know it's an overwhelming post, but please help me. My computer is messed up from EA tech support, they wrote me and said they'd get back to me. What do I do once I get my computer running again? It won't boot up. Thanks.
  • I get error code 12 also and I have 16 gigs of RAM. I don't understand. I chatted with tech support and they had me delete temp files and .package files and then my game was messed up. It caused my new computer to crash to a blue screen with a forced emergency shut down. 7 hours of installing and patching last night (as…

  • Oh I'm glad to know it's not just me. I have a brand new computer- 2 weeks old- 16 gigs Ram and 1 tb and upgraded video card etc and so I know it's not my computer. I've had problems with the sims since the Pets patch came out, but I was using a laptop before. Now that I have the new computer I thought things would be good…
  • Bumping... still don't know why my game is crashing- can't be the update because I played all day the day of the update- but even when I'm not logged in it crashes.... anyone know why or have this problem that can help me please? Spent months not able to play, put it on my boyfriend's new laptop and was sooo happy to have…
  • Don't have any sim friends, please add me! Want to try simport- never used it yet.
  • Ok, I tried it. I disabled the in-game shop and now instead of crashing at that same point in the game, I just froze. So... I'm happy for you, but still waiting on this end for answers. :( Thank you for sharing your discovery though.
  • Stormwench- I have done everything- even let tech support take over my computer. I spent 2-3 hours with them each chat session- and I did 5 sessions. It is not my computer and I did everything in the recommended order. I want showtime but won't get it unless I know it will work. Pikku- Thank you so much! I will try that. I…
  • I don't remember. I think that when you registered already, you created your account. But you might need to give them your email and activate it or something, it's been a while since I started using it for the first time.
  • I have no CC. I went through the clean uninstall of all CC and the game and EP's with the tech support at Origin. I don't even currently have any objects from the store. I updated my drivers. My computer is more than capable of playing this game- and also, I had been playing this game just fine until the patch. My game…
  • You should be able to log into origins and look it up easily there. You can even download the game so you don't need to play with the disc. All the games you register are stored in origins.
  • Bumping. I want answers. Or a refund. I've bought all the EP's and all but 2 stuff's packs and now I can't play ANY of them. Seriously. Figure this crap out or give people their money back. Not being difficult, just frustrated and growing more and more angry as I see everyone with problems on here, not getting answers…
  • I'm having the same issue- I can't even play for a few minutes. I make a family and move in and it crashes. I uninstalled because the new patch made it unable for me to open current families. When I installed and updated I turned off the firewalls. Are you still having problems? I see that a LOT of people are too, so I…
  • My game started causing problems where I could not load a saved family. I completely uninstalled the game- a full- COMPLETE clean out. I installed the game. Then I was not able to move my sims into houses. It would let me make the sims but crash when they moved in. I did another uninstall- thinking it could be CC or maybe…
  • I am having the same issue. I got the patch and could not open any existing families at all. I got sick of only playing new families considering I wouldn't be able to open them later either. So I thought perhaps my custom content was maybe conflicting with the new patch. I uninstalled everything- a complete clean manual…
  • Ahhh ok. So the files that you said to delete after you create the mod folder is something that I should have kept if I'm doing sims packages? Perhaps that's why it's crashing now? Or should I delete the mods folder to stop the crashing? Because at the moment I only have the items I purchased from the store installed and…
  • Thank you. I understand it's the holidays and am grateful for the assistance you've given me already today. I did try downloading a couple things from another website after my last post and installed it but did not check it with custard because it was already a .package file. I was able to create my sim but then when I…
  • You have to do "testingcheatsenabled true" and then shift+click on the sim. But I don't think that it works on babies. I usually can't do it until they are children. It will say edit in create a sim, I think. Or maybe just edit sim. Good luck.
  • Go to origins and register your game. You can download the game there and not use the disc.
  • Oh, sorry I replied to your other post. See there please. :)
  • You did not get ripped off. I don't know who you were talking to... but I had a problem with the base game as well. (I'm assuming that's the version you're working with?) Here's what I came to the other day after I had uninstalled due to some custom content not agreeing with the new patch. This is what you need to do to…
  • Ok, I guess I'm just totally dense... but when I click download file (I'm trying from the exchange and the sims resource) I click save, then it downloads to the downloads folder. I can't figure out how to download it as a (.package) file or anything other than a (.sims2pack file). When I go to the downloads folder (I've…
  • Ok.... I don't have it all figured out after all! I got it all ready to put the CC in my packages folder, got the custard working etc. What I can't figure out is how to extract it. I read and reread the instructions on page one, but all I seem to come across is the pack where the launcher installs it. I don't see an option…
  • Awesome! I think I got it all figured out!
  • Ok, I did everything and I am ready to put in my CC. It was pretty simple after all thanks to your instructions. I tried the TSR fixer but it did not work. I don't know why but that's ok. Anyway, I looked at the other programs but they all seem to be for objects like chairs, etc. I am only adding clothes, sims, hair and…
  • Thank you so much! There were so many pages and different links all over the forum etc that I just didn't know where to go first. I appreciate you taking time to explain to me. :)
  • Hi, I know this is an old thread but I saw that you updated it recently for pets. I have always used my CC installation through the launcher but I'm finding too many of the files are causing big problems for my game. So now I'm looking into manually checking and installing the CC. I tell you this because I'm entirely new…
  • Ok, finally- after tons of chatting with tech support- they gave me this patch! ***WHEW***!! http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/175477.page If you are reinstalling here's instructions to manually uninstalling: https://help.ea.com/article/manually-uninstalling-the-sims-3?showhome=true Hope this helps anyone else…
