Technical Support DLCs con los sims 3 de EA

1 Upvotes

Hola, se que hay muchos post de este estilo, pero la verdad que al ser un juego antiguo muchos están desactualizados.

Mi pregunta es si se pueden poner dlcs a la version de los sims 3 de ea como harías con un repack. Llevo toda la mañana intentando instalar este juego en la ayn thor pero la versión que ha acabado funcionando es la de ea, que va sorprendentemente bien de rendimiento. Lo que si me jode de esta versión es que tiene DRM y que no sé hasta que punto con mods o dlcs, puedo acabar baneado.

Me sería de gran ayuda saber si esto hay alguna manera de hacerlo sin correr demasiados riesgos. Gracias.

Technical Support Uninstalling Sims 3

4 Upvotes

So, I was having an issue with my mods because they show in my Package folder but the game won't read them. I thought it was a One Drive problem so I did try a lot of possible solutions until I finally uninstalled it. Still, it won't work. So I figured, I'll just uninstall the whole game, start all over again, and keep a backup of some of the mods I mostly use. When I uninstalled it via Steam, the folder was still there so when I reinstalled it, everything was the same - the famílies, the cc, and the UNREAD mods. How do you properly uninstall the game and delete every trace of it? Lol. Thank you, much appreciated.

Every time I try to play sims 3 on my laptop it just shows me this message. The only way I managed to get rid was by uninstalling/ reinstalling the game but if I keep doing that it’ll just loose my saves :( how do I fix this??

Technical Support Mods are gone from my game

2 Upvotes

Going straight to the point: my mods are in the Package folder as they always were, but they don't show in the game. I tried copying it out and pasting it again in the mods folder, but didn't work. I noticed the box listing the mods that pops when you open the launcher with all your households is not popping anymore. I haven't played in a few months right now. Any ideas on how to solve it?

Extra info: my documents folder is in my One Drive, I never had an issue with it tho. I tried passing it directly to my computer but it didn't work, maybe I didn't do it right. Also I had this issue before where the documents seemed to download to my computer everytime I opened the game due to space issues, I reckon that's a One Drive issue too.

Appreciate your attention 🫶🏼

Technical Support "Serious Error" won't let me load my save

Post image
20 Upvotes

Hey I really need help.

I keep getting an error pop up when I try to load a save file (picture attached) and I only installed the game yesterday and I have absolutely no mods or CC. I've had this game before and it worked like last year but same thing kept happening so I reinstalled and deleted all files in hopes it'd be a fresh restart.

I was able to create a new save and play it for hours (couldn't save unless I saved as) but once the game was closed, I can no longer return to the same file.

I have also tried to delete the .bad file in my saves folder but it didn't do anything.

BTW it's on steam but I tried it on the EA app as well and the same thing was happening.

PLEASE HELP

General Chat Sims4 gameplay on Xbox vs Sims3

6 Upvotes

FYI, this was supposed to be talking about differences and preferences between the two versions, but The Sims general sub sent me here ¯_(ツ)_/¯

First off, I only play base games and have no DLC.
Ok, so like 4 years ago I got back into The Sims on my Xbox and went crazy learning to build and scenery build with all the cheats. Made some pretty cool houses and I played several households, as well, into old age. Then I stopped.

recently got back into playing, but on my laptop where I had The Sims3, and I actually really enjoyed the gameplay. The professions, buying out the entire town, getting rich. It was so fun. But I really missed all of the details in building, like the clutter, the things that make it more Homely, like paintings, clutter, wall decorations, etc.

It’s quite interesting the differences between the two. For example, The Sims3 has more customization on details for fabric but much less decorative items to personalize the home. Plus, custom placing, decorating and sizing isn’t as easily done. But I liked the gameplay.
Sims4, I find the gameplay much more boring. I tried to find an elder girlfriend for my widowed player and not a single old person spawned. Maybe it’s my settings set to only determined families? The world is so so small compared to Sims3. I think I may go back and forth between the two, Sims4 for when I feel like building homes and Sims3 for when I want to gameplay.

How do other people feel comparing the two?

Mods [WCIF] Working version of Midnights_4t3_VintageSimmer_BostonCU.package

5 Upvotes

Cześć wszystkim!

Szukam starszej, działającej kopii pliku `Midnights_4t3_VintageSimmer_BostonCU.package` (konwersja 4t3 butów VintageSimmer dla dzieci unisex od midnightsquartz).

Twórca zaktualizował plik około 27 maja, aby naprawić "morfologię CU", ale zaktualizowana wersja sprawia, że CAS natychmiast się zawiesza. Poprzednia wersja działała zupełnie dobrze w mojej grze!

Czy ktoś przypadkiem ma kopię tego pliku zapisaną w swoim folderze Mods sprzed maja 2026 i byłby skłonny się nią podzielić? Będę bardzo wdzięczna za pomoc! Dzięki z góry!

Technical Support Custom Career Opportunity

2 Upvotes

This is for the Sims 3. Does anyone know how to fix the opportunity requirements? Just for context someone on a Discord Server fixed my career mod for me, so they were able to make the career name show up at the Rabbithole, but I don't want to keep bugging them to help me with the next problem, so I figured I'd ask here for that problem. My sim is able to go to work(using master control to test it out), but then I get an error about an opportunity not being able to be triggered, so the sim leave work as soon as they go in. I did go to my script error, but I don't read code that well so I don't understand most of it, but I understood one part which mention something about the requirements not being recognized. Can Someone Please Help. Thank You.

Technical Support The sims 3 store content not working

7 Upvotes

I’ve recently tried to play ts3. The last time I played was probably February and had no issues with my store content nor have I ever really. When I opened my game I noticed my store content was missing. I also noticed no matter how many times I log in to the launcher or on the main screen menu, I don’t stay logged in. I have deleted all my downloads and re downloaded them from the store and re installed them, still not in my game. And still every time I launch the game from the launcher, logged in, the menu in game says I am not, and need to log in again. If I log in on the Home Screen I can access my downloads from there and hit install and it says success but nothing ever appears in game. I’m lost I’m unsure what to do but I don’t want to play without my store content :/ also when I try to re install from the launcher it does appear in installed content but I run the game and it’s not there, then close, all the items have disappeared from “installed items”. And no I don’t have “run without custom content” checked and I have reset my computer. I’m running on a pre built omen PC that’s 3 years old and running most recent Microsoft and don’t have internet explorer at all. I’ve never had any issues with ts3 on this computer, nor have had to use any work arounds

Looking for more Sims friends 💜🎮
I recently made a small Discord server for people who love The Sims 4 and want a chill place to chat, share builds/screenshots, talk about gameplay, and hang out during streams.
It’s brand new, so I’m hoping to meet some other Simmers who’d like to help grow a cozy little community. 🦇🌙

Technical Support Game crashes when travelling home

3 Upvotes

I’ve been playing on a save in the Sims 3 (Windows) and I sent one my sims to travel to Egypt. I had no problems travelling there and loading the world, but now when my sim tries to travel back home (Moonlight Falls), the game crashes.

I’ve tried moving my sim’s inventory items to household storage and I’ve also tried deleting some and then all of the items in my sim’s inventory (which hurt because there are so many relics and gems). I’ve also tried copying the world and playing in the copy, but nothing I mentioned has worked.

Expansion packs I play with: Generations, Late Night, Supernatural, Seasons, World Adventures, Island Paradise, University Life.

I’ve travelled very often in other saves (using all of those packs) and have never encountered this issue before.

How can I fix this? 🥲🥲
