I hope this helps! (Although I still wish this would be fixed so I can install the other Expansions I have.)

All of the expansions I have bought are registered on The Sims 3 website and Origin. This is bugging me for this reason - I cannot download Supernatural, Seasons, 70's 80's and 90's Stuff, and Into the Future. I may have just installed it to the wrong directory. Yet Origin does not detect that I installed it. I had to install it via the disc I bought.

Then after that I downloaded the expansions and stuff packs I have registered - in the order of release.Īnd then for some reason I cannot download the Pets expansion. Of course, first I had to install the base game.

If you're having any other problems with Origin, whether for TS3 or other games, please create a new thread, either here (for TS3-specific issues) or in the Origin have had the same issue as the others as well! I am glad it isn't just me however, I noticed if I didn't download them in the order of their release in Origin the orange download button won't work at all. On that note, if you're experiencing problems downloading any TS3 packs from your Origin library, it would be very helpful if you could click the Me Too button and answer the following questions:ġ) Which version of Windows are you currently running?Ģ) Which packs are you unable to download from Origin? Have you been able to successfully install any other packs recently, and if so, which ones? Also, if you know whether your packs are the standard or limited edition versions, please list that too.ģ) When you click the button to download a problem pack, what happens? Do you get any errors, does Origin refuse to quit or stop responding, etc.?Ĥ) Does it help to clear Origin's cache or do a clean uninstall and reinstall of Origin itself?ĥ) Does it help to run Origin as an administrator, either before or after a reinstall?Īny extra information you'd like to share will be very much appreciated, and I'll keep this thread updated.Īlso, please note that this is a very specific problem: Origin refusing to download expansion packs for The Sims 3. This is the Windows version you can find the mac thread here: So I'm putting together a couple of master threads to gather more information on the subject. The problem seems to affect players in both Windows and mac OS, and certain packs more than others. There have been a number of reports recently of certain TS3 expansion packs refusing to download through Origin. If you have a similar issue, please create a new thread. Since this issue was on the EA side resolved a while back, I'm locking this thread. Information, Guides and Announcements for the EA appĮdit.
