I followed the "How to install The Sims 3 correctly" and every time I try to install the expansions the base game stops working and disappears from my computer and I don't know why or how to fix it.

Hello,

What happens if you go to the following location: C:\Program files(x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin

and then double-click on the TS3W.exe file ?

Hello,


Please update your game after installing the expansions (even though you are told that an updated version has been installed) via manual patch through here. Afterwards, drag and drop the contents of the Ultimate Fix (download it here) to C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Game\Bin. Bear in mind that the correct directory of applying the Ultimate Fix should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 3\Game\Bin if you have purchased the base game via Origin.
