Problems Installing Store Content
Posted: June 28th, 2018, 7:49 am
Hi,
I'm sorry this isn't really mod related but I'm struggling to know where to go for help. The appropriate forum on thesims.com seems to be pretty dead. I am having a problem installing my store content. I am installing it on a new(ish) laptop for the first time. I have had the game installed for a few weeks and it's been playing fine but I've only just had time to go through and start downloading all of the store stuff. When I try to install a larger file such as a world (e.g. midnight hollow) I get a message that reads Installation failed: Please make sure your game has the latest Software Updates and try again. I am running patch 1.69 having downloaded the game and expansions through Origin. I am not sure what updates I could be missing. Does anyone have any idea?
As some background I have already tried re downloading the relevant content, restarting the launcher, restarting the computer, creating a new Sims 3 folder by renaming the old one, making sure that the world is the only download waiting to be installed, cleaning out my DcBackup folder and using CCleaner and as many combinations of the above that I can think of. If anyone has any thoughts on what could be going wrong I would be very grateful.
Thanks
Astro
