New here, need a dumbed down explanation. [SOLVED]

First topic message reminder :

I have the Sims 3 base game. (And whatever else came with the starter pack I bought at Walmart; Late Night and High End Lofts, I think..) Anyway, I can't afford to buy the expansion packs so I want to download them. Sadly, when reading the guide, I cannot understand it.

I downloaded the Pets, Generations and Seasons torrents. But I don't know how to install them. I tried to extract files but it said none were found.

Do I need to uninstall my game and install the one you provided? 

Sorry, I just need this kind of dumbed down a bit for I am seriously confused..

It's still giving me the error code.
I've followed your instructions, the guide's instructions. Nothing's working.

Hey ChyBunny.
All the information everyone is giving you is correct, its just that you have to do the following:
For the Origin Games:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games

Any Origin game that you have installed will be in this folder.

Thank you stabitha, but I've been doing that. I've applied everything into the Sims 3 base folder which is in my origin folder. The expansions are in the EA folder.

Hello,

Please join the Forum's Chatbox. I'll help you solve the issue via TeamViewer.
The Chatbox is located at the top of the homepage.

//UPDATE

Problem solved via TeamViewer.
There were some problems with the Registry, showing the game names in another language, even though the actual folder names were in English, causing that error. I changed the names in the Registry to their English equivalent and the problem was solved.



I'll close this topic now. Please let us know if you need help again!
