Hello,

First of all don't double post, it's against our rules. Click "Edit" instead.

Anyways, Do you have a game came from Origin? Or do you do typical installation when you installed your game?

Hi there and welcome to the Games4theworld Forum! Smile

Yes, as cezra already said, please don't post multiple times in a row, as it could be tagged as spam. We merged all of your posts into a single one.

And could you please be more specific about what you are trying to do? What exactly is making you re-install the games?

by Guest Tue 30 Sep 2014, 22:57

I just went to origin to open the launcher (after trying to install the ultimate fix) and it said download.It said the same thing on all of my other games as well.

Origin will do that once you install it, but it should not download much stuff, unless if you login and order it to download a game you don't have installed on your machine yet.

I have original Sims and Seasons, but even if I click their icons, but had installed the ones from ISO images, it works seamlessly (and I am using the crack from here, but the result is the same without it)...

Origin usually shows the games I already have installed as downloaded, but it did't download anything just because of it.

Can you check the size of the whole folder and which subfolders (and their sizes) to the origin you are referring to?

Thanks!

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. I'm a bit of a computer noob. Noob

So, a bit more explanation? Thank you. Smile

Hi again

Ok, let's start from the beginning. What expansion packs did you download from here? And is your base game from here too, or is it bought from Origin?

by Guest Wed 01 Oct 2014, 00:19

I bought the base game and pets on origin. I downloaded generations, it worked fine, showtime, didn't. "Showtime Disc needed" it said. I looked up how to fix it. Manual Patch/Ultimate Fix. Apparently manual fix is optional, so I did ultimate fix, deleted all my saves because I have too many. Opened Origin, download. I pressed download and it started downloading. Paused it, came here, started the thread. The end. Smile

EDIT: Sims 3 and pets are both still there, so IDK what the problem is.

You mean the base game shows a button to 'Download', now? If so, could you please check in Origin Games if The Sims 3 folder is actually there already?

by Guest Wed 01 Oct 2014, 00:30

I did check in Origin games, that's what the edit is about.

Sorry, when I replied I hadn't read the edit. Smile

The Manual Patch could be called 'optional', but it's actually recommended. Could you try to apply the Manual Patch, then re-apply the Ultimate Fix (remember that you only need to use the #Crack folder inside of it), and check again?

by Guest Wed 01 Oct 2014, 00:39

Okay, but I gotta do homework. How DO you apply the patch though? Maybe I should read the installation guide.
EDIT: Maybe not, I can't find the installation guide. WhatDidUJustCallMe?

You mean the The Sims 3 installation guide, or the Manual Patch installation guide? Wink

If it's the first one, here it is:

If you are talking about the Manual Patch, you should get an .exe after the download. After that the only thing you need to do is double click it, and it will update the game automatically. Very Happy

In the Origin client, if you right-click on the Sims 3 base game (and Pets too), do you get an option that looks like "repair download" ? You may want to try that, otherwise, did you actually try re-"downloading" those games ?

Have you completed those downloads ? Or aren't they completed ? Please, always be precise about what is happening on your side, because even I can't quite imagine/understand what could be wrong on your end. Razz

Also, yes, when you finish "downloading" those games again, please repeat the steps from #2 to #4 here, closely:
https://games4theworld.forumotion.com/t1171-must-read-how-to-install-the-sims-3-correctly

Note that you need to apply step #4 to the location C:\Program files(x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 3\Game\Bin. Good luck.

by Guest Wed 01 Oct 2014, 00:49

I didn't get a .exe, and there is no repair download option. So I didn't try redownloading either, because I'm teed off at the fact that they took soooo long and I have to retry them.

//EDIT

I downloaded it off mega before and now I'm redownloading it, not highspeed, and it is a .exe, so see ya soon, about 1 and a half or 2 hours maybe?

OK, I see. This is weird, because once you finished downloading and installing games in the Origin client, they shouldn't "disappear" so easily, unless you deliberately remove them. Is it possible that you (or someone else with access to your computer ?) maybe accidentally deleted something ?

The fact that you're not getting a "repair download" option isn't that good either. I'm afraid you will have to either re-download the base game (+ Pets) from Origin, or get our torrented games from the following site:

http://games4theworld.org/downloads.html

Keep us posted, and take your time for the install. It's better doing this when you are feeling OK. There's no use in trying to install anything, if you're too tired. Take it slow, and post back whenever you have more time. Good luck again !

Now I've installed the fix, but get an error at startup popup. Question: Will I ever be able to play sims 3 again?

Hi again!

Is the error at the start of the game, or Origin? And what exactly does the error say?

It's the launcher, the same error at startup popup that alot of people seem to get here.

Could you please be more specific? Is it the Unofficial Game Modification one, or the Script Error one?

by Guest Wed 01 Oct 2014, 02:54

Probably script error, but I don't know. It says, error at startup, please check log for more details.

Can you please log into the Chatbox, at the Forum's main page? I will try to help you in there. Smile

So is this problem resolved, now, SeoY ? Smile

Well, I was able to get the "Repair game" button to appear on Origin, and (s)he said (s)he would come back as soon as the game was repaired, but I haven't seen the user since... Sad

by Guest Sun 05 Oct 2014, 07:30

I'm back, it's repaired, but the error is still there. BTW, i'm a girl, so the word IS she. Smile
