#ERROR WITH THE SIMS 3 UPDATE UPDATE#
It says the game is up to date, but I thought there should have been an update after installing from the disc. When I close the message it all seemed to work OK, but when I clicked on 'refresh' for the game updater I get the same message. Whenever I open the Sim Launcher I get an error message 'Unable to connect to the EA Download Manager'. I installed from disc and from what I have read it seems like the problem might be something do with these not updating the game as it should. I wonder if the origin thingy (technical term lol) and the Sim Launcher might need updating. If not I will have to get in touch with them again. I am doing more searching online to see if I can figure out the problem myself.
#ERROR WITH THE SIMS 3 UPDATE PC#
Unfortunately they weren't able to help, they had me try loads of things, the last thing actually caused me problems with my PC (being novice and not having a clue), got it sorted now hopefully. I couldn't see an email address but have been in touch with them. I have everything crossed someone on here can help me sort this out - in simple, easy for me to understand terms I am in the UK (don't know if that makes a difference for support). I tried to find a way to contact support but couldn't find any way to get in touch (that worked - one link that looked like it might be it just took me to a Yahoo search page). I tried downloading some free items to see and they downloaded without a problem it is just the two sets mentioned above. I have searched for answers and tried various things but nothing is working. Please see the Log for more details.' I eventually managed to find a log, but it doesn't make any sense to me - I only understand basic computer usage. I get a message 'There was an error while downloading content. Most has downloaded OK but two (Grandpa's Grove and the bonus Date Night Clothing) won't download. I then went to the Sims 3 store and bought a couple of items in the sale as well as some free stuff. I have just bought and installed The Sims 3 Starter Pack (basic game, Late Night Expansion and High-End Loft Stuff).
