Toddlers stuff won't work even with error 3 fix [SOLVED]

Hi there,



Was your game updated to Fitness prior to installing the Toddler's Stuff pack? By not working, does the game not start at all or is there any other error popping up? Check your task manager to see if Sims 4 is lingering around in the background process as well, and if it is, kill it. Also, you can try running the game in windowed mode to see if it opens.

Do keep us updated if you're able to at least play again till Fitness. If yes, and you wanted to updated the game, you can make a copy of your working sims 4 folder, rename it to sims4backup (or anything), before updating to Toddler's stuff. That way there's no need to re-install everything again.

I may have to try to uninstall and re-install the whole game from scratch    about that back up folder, I'm an idiot I should have thought of that earlier    I won't lose my CCs and Save files and houses if I uninstall won't I? I did make a back up for the EA folder that contains all that just in case.

Hahaha. You won't lose anything, since you have already made a backup copy. Just be careful you did not accidentally delete them.

Alrighty then, all there's left to do is uninstall. If only I can find my downloaded game    I lost it and I wanted to download it back from here, but too bad the download section is down    I'll have to wait 'til tomorrow. I'll keep you guys updated if I manage to sort things out    Thank u very much for responding!

Yes they are indeed the G4TW downloads neatly ordered.
So all your saves etc will still be there.

Just keep us updated once you're done though!

wylliebee wrote:So far so good  I uninstalled the game and re-installed it according to the procedure listed in Tarac's link  and it worked!! only thing is I might have to re-install the fitness pack in because apparently the game gave me a window saying that your uninstall pack is currently downloading, a notification will be given once it has finished and I checked to see what was missing it was the fitness stuff, so yeah I'll try and re-add it in. But I got my game back!!

Glad to hear you've got the game working again. Would you like me to close the thread or you prefer it to be opened in case you decide to install the Toddler's stuff again?
