    in The Sims 3 General Discussion
    From what I have found reading different posts on this Forum is that there are a bunch of problems with The Sims 3 World Adventures Expansion Pack. I have read about people having missing houses, sims, lifetime points, clothes and many other items and essential game play objects. I've also read about people getting error messages. I'm curious about all of the problems everyone has had and would love to hear about them here. Maybe this post will help with people in the future when they have issues within the game. Feel free to post problems you have run across with The Sims 3 World Adventures and how you got around to fixing those problems, if you have, or maybe someone else will post how to fix it. I think being prepared is the best way to start out playing a new game so bring on all the Bugs, Errors and other Problems you have encountered with The Sims 3 World Adventures Expansion Pack!

      If I had to guess, I bet most of those bugs come from things that are in the game update that is available without WA. So far with the update here are my issues: Goth house has disappeared, all items in the fridge, personal inventory, family inventory, and bookshelves, and I cannot save the game at all.

      I always wait. I'm still on v1.27 I think WA is has had a couple of issues and the Update has some aswell. Nothing seems to work well for everyone. PC Gaming can be such a headache sometimes.

      looks like they are patching the patch. my mac can't even access the patch and my windows pc had the option to last night but now doesnt. someone in another form said they most likely took down the patch as so many ppl are having problems right now.

      I just moved my CC to desktop and am not installing the patch. I'm off to buy WA when Target opens in a few minutes. I'll let you know if I have any problems playing/saving. And if I don't reply again to this thread, then you can assume that the game is running fine and I'm having a blast!

      Not sure if it's from WA or the updates but we couldn't use the cell phone, 2 sims disappeared, unable to change active household and CAS didn't load even after half an hour of "loading". I'm cleaning up some stuff and running a few scanners to see if that helps any . . .

      I'm waiting to get WA from digital download so I'm not sure what problems it causes. I never had problems getting game updates before, but this update has made my game slow...very...very...slow. I was contemplating murder while waiting for my game to load. Does anyone know if there is any way to uninstall game updates?

      That could mean someone stole your code and used it to register. You get to call or email EA help now and explain it to them. Enjoy!! :?

      I wasn't able to install the game without first installing the patch. That took forever! Installing game now... crossing fingers.

      WA isn't the only problem-- it's the patch that is causing trouble with my comp. :P

      Yeah, here's what I got after I installed the new patch:
      Unable to Start Game
      Service Initialization Failed (0x6224dd27)

      Is it just me or does it seem like people are having very different game issues? That's kind of weird, isn't it?

      I bought World Adventures this morning....still trying to install!

      I cant install without the patch... everytime i try to download the patch, (either through WA or the base game launcher) it just tells me that it failed, doesnt tell me why, doesnt give me an error code, nothing.

      And it took me atleast 3 hours to get onto the forums, the page just wouldnt load, on all 5 computers in my house! Dont know if that was cuz people were flooding the forums with there WA problems...

      Im seriously starting to doubt EAs ability to give us a game that works straight outta the box... same thing with the base game! I know its gonna have problems....but a problem that makes the game completely unplayable is a little redicously! something needs to change over at EA!

      My problem is that whenever I start the game, it's just a black screen and then it closes. It might be because I left it on Window mode last time I played, but IDK. I tried installing the patch but that didn't seem to help. I'll try it again. I also can't install the Adventures Loot set either.
