Most of the time, I do not even see my games in the EA ap anymore. I open the ap, start my game from my desktop, and when I'm done, I repair the game through the ap if it shows up there, in hopes it will stay connected. Most of the time, it doesn't, so it is definitely broken. I still sign in with the launcher, or I can't…

I'm not sure if it is the same thing, but I've had to start the EA Ap, find out my game is MISSING from it. . . So I start the game from my shortcut on the desktop and it runs just fine. . . then I close my game and it shows back up on the EA ap, and I repair it. Sometimes it stays for a few days, and sometimes I have to…

And I can't download .net framework 3.5 because 4.5 came with the OS. . . LOL Guess that won't be the answer then. Next idea?
-
Thank you very much. I kind of wondered what I forgot to put back on the computer when I reset it. My daughter just reset her computer as well, so that would explain why both of us have this happening.
-
I decided to do a total uninstall and reinstall of my game after resetting my computer one more time. University plants are no longer causing the save error to happen. Store stuff FINALLY got installed though I haven't played enough to know if all of it is working, yet. I'm saving the store stuff to an external drive and…

Whenever I have to reset the computer or anything like that, I save the family I want to keep playing as an export and then save that export to an external hard drive. I might try saving the town I was using but as long as the family is safe, if the town is bloated or corrupted, I still have them. Sometimes you just have…

I don't know that video card, but for my game my video card has to be set for 60 fps with vertical sync on. I have to go into the control panel for the video card and set it under programs for just Sims 3. Everything else likes my video card just fine!
-
I searched for quite some time to find this thread. . . Thank you so much! It was the "preserve Web Data for Favorites" that was messing my launcher up as well. Hopefully, now I can reinstall my store stuff and get back to playing! :)
-
I finally figured out the reason we can't install it on our newer computers. Sims original is like 16 bit? Most computers today are 64 bit. If they would change that one thing, I'm pretty sure I could get my game to play once again! Recently, they made Theme Hospital, which would not run from disk, availabe. I have it. The…
-
The only way they are going to fix the issue is by admitting it is at their end. I have done everything they asked me to do, other than restoring the computer. Most days, lately, I can sign in, now. Once in a while, for a day or so, I can't. The most important things I get from all this is clear ALL browser caches, and…
-
The final suggestion from the people at EA/Origin was that I might have to do a total restore of my computer. . . Uhm, I just did one about three months ago, thankyouverymuch. . . LOL Still, I can't help but wonder if it would help. I have literally done everything asked, up to now. My game launcher will sometimes let me…
-
The helpful people at EA/Origin help suggested many of the same things everyone else does. Sadly, since I had already tried everything on their list, it came to changing the password. I managed to sign back in to Origin and the site, but the launcher won't accept the password. I cleared IE cache and cookies, again, and all…
-
AND. . . It started again. I had just finished installing everything I had already downloaded. I finally decided to try to get my Milkin' It Dairy Corral back and, my sign in information is not working. I decided to try to download something else that I already own, and. . . My sign in information isn't correct, even…
-
I have actually done that in the past, but since it was store stuff that was missing, I figured a fresh reinstall of that might be in order. I started on that last night, using the backup copy of the downloaded stuff. If that doesn't work. I'll have to redownload everything, and I do try to avoid that. LOL I did a total…
-
Adding "solved" to the title :)
-
Just thought I would update. . . I can once again sign in, though it took several attempts at clearing caches, uninstalling and reinstalling Origin, I even threw in a "remove the Sims 3 folder from Documents". Once I started the game again, after all that, I can suddenly sign in. Of course NOW I have to re-install all that…
-
Well, time to try the "change password" option. . . Clearing IE caches and cookies didn't work this time! The only reason I even sign in to the browser is so I can send stuff to my one daughter that still plays, and for my store stuff (I own the entire store, and *thought* I had installed it all.) I will never earn the…
-
Since I don't use IE anymore, I always forget about it. Thanks. When I clear the caches, I do include cookies as well. And I use REVO Uninstaller to uninstall Origin. I was kind of surprised when THAT didn't work. What wierded me out about this one was I WAS signed in to the launcher, and game, then realized one of my…
-
I'll give clearing IE browser. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll let you know if it works. :) Since I don't use IE anymore, but use Edge, I guess that could be the problem! I hadn't cleared those caches, specifically, since I don't use that browser now. And YES! That does seem to have done the trick! Thank you all!
-
I saw this thread and thought, "I miss Sims Original!" I can't get it to run on my current computer. I don't know what I did wrong, I install it, but it seems to uninstall itself. I have a 64 bit machine, and I think the game is for 32 or less. I have everything from Sims 1, all expansions, and lots of custom stuff. I miss…

I JUST added my copies of The Sims Medieval Limited Edition and Pirates and Nobles to my Origin account yesterday. I had already been told they wouldn't work from the disks and didn't bother with that. However, to get my EA registered copies of the Medieval games registered and set up in my Origin account I had to prove…
-
I am hoping you are right. My daughter and I did manage to get gifts sent today. . . but then my game forgot to keep me logged in, so it didn't set up with my expansions, and stuff, again. Frustrating. I really need to unwind, and Sims 3 still does that better than Sims 4 for me. LOL
-
Of course that means having to rebuy everything. . . I just wish they'd release it on Origin, like they have for so many other games. A lot of the old games that wouldn't run from disk seem to run just fine if they are installed through Origin. I really, really miss my original Sims games!
-
My game claims to be installed but won't run. . . It says it isn't there. :( I'm looking for answers to that one as well. I did a clean install, of all my Sims games, a while back just so I could make sure I didn't have any thing Sims 1 related on the computer before attempting the last installation. It's still on the…
-
I miss my Sims 1 game! It won't run on my new hard drive. :( I have a downloaded magic mirror I always use for motives, it's safer, and easier than the save game, move objects on, delete Sim and hope it doesn't disappear forever system. LOL I remember the first few times I did that, and the poor Sim lost all progress. took…
-
I miss being able to play my original Sims game. Makin Magic is still my favorite! LOL Sadly, when I replaced my hard drive a year or so ago, and then upgraded to Windows 10, I can install Sims and all it's expansions, and it will not play. :( I hope, if they get around to re-releasing it in Origin for those of us that own…
-
I would seriously love to be able to play my Sims 1 games again! Consider this petition SIGNED! I want to know how to play my game in Windows 10
-
Well, I finally had enough, signed out, signed back in, restarted computer and game, and it is working, for now. . . I don't know if it will happen again, but I rather suspect it will. And the next time I went to send a gift, I got that message again, during the same game it just worked just fine in!
-
Not sure what makes it forget. I do my nightly maintenance on my computer (I just clear the browser cache and run defragmenting program). When I come back the next time to play, all my expansions and stuff packs are unchecked, again. I just take a minute to recheck them. Right now I'm having issues with mods. I've…
-
Yeah, I know. This is why this whole new launcher makes zero sense to me. LOL It creates a potential disaster if we forget to double check the settings before starting the game.
Howdy, Stranger!
