Used this site to provide me the install order of the sims 3 expansion packs Pulled up the link read over the article and then tried these steps first before messing with the files on the Mac Reset origin using tool sims 3 error changed from game still downloading to unexpected error When I first got this issue it was with the expansion pack ambitions not the base game. No cc or mods installed into sims 3 during the troubleshootĮrror with just the sims 3 base game installed no expansions installed is when opening the sims 3 game from origin launcher I get a error saying the game is still downloading even though the game has been full downloaded and installed with entering the product code. I have screen shots of all errors I have gotten today Im not a noob at ts for sims 3/4 or most tech issues I work at apple so I have a very good understanding so please do not speak down to me or make me report myself. Os is up to date (screen shot can be provided of os info) Below is all the steps I’ve tired and where and why I have stopped and called back in.īasic info yes all expansion packs have worked on the Mac before on the current os We have tried every possible ts step I know of including this new step thats been out for longer then I have been fighting with this issue and no one has ever even brought up these steps and now I’m stuck in the process.

I’ve have uninstalled reinstalled factory reset the Mac and more all other games from the origin client work just fine including sims 4 with all the expansion packs I own for that game. I’ve been promised many times for them to reach back out to me with answers and resolutions and no one ever does and this goes on each time for about a week of me calling many times a day every day for a week till I get tired of all the fighting and give up for a few. I have been suffering with this same issues for over a year now I call we try all the steps we can find online even got to their 2 for help and support. he told me he could give me the corporate info after I asked for it then after I told him good cause I was going to report him and the last agent he told me he could not find the info so not only did that sup lie to me but he also set the wrong exceptions and was unwilling to help a long standing customer. The same sup refused to help me and even said on the call he was to busy too help me. Rude treatment by 3 agents and one of the sups even to go as far as to accuse me at the start of the call when I said the agent did not even ask me my name the sup said I did not allow him.

With 6 calls 4 agents and 2 supervisors (got the same 2 agents twice) The Sims 3 Trouble shoot aug 5th 17 Case with ea support 32495508Īt this point over 7 hours of troubleshooting This workaround will only work on Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8.1. In my case, my Dell XPS 410 with Windows Vista Home Premium wouldn't start The Sims until I typed some commands in Command Prompt. This might depend if your computer is fully updated or not, sometimes the game might start but sometimes it won't start. In my case, I typed in sc config secdrv start= demand and then sc start secdrv and I was able to play The Sims. To manually stop the driver's service, type: To manually start the driver's service, type: To enable the driver's service (and to set it to automatic), type: To set the driver's service to manual, type: Workaround to the issue ( This will not work on Windows 10): Open Command Prompt as an Administrator and then type the possible commands: In order to play The Sims, you will have to either remove the update, find a fixed Sims.exe file or do a workaround. If you have Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8.1 and you're getting the Access Denied error message, it's most likely you have update KB3086255 installed. Please help! I went to install the sims complete collection and everytime I go to play it it says access denied please login with administrative privileges.ive never had this issue please help
