The first thing to know is that when you install the Sims 3 it installs to C:\ program files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 (any disc expansion packs are also installed here). IF YOUR GAME IS HAVING TROUBLE TRY THE SIMPLE TROUBLESHOOTING STEP AT ITEM 16.ġ. I invite any corrections or comments to make this guide easier and better.Ī great many of the problems arise from not knowing the basics of how the Sims 3 works and the player failing to follow some VERY simple procedures. Mac users will need to modify these instructions for their machines. My current game is patched to 1.47 and I have all expansions and stuff packs. This guide is written for Windows and I have used it successfully in Windows XP, Windows 7 and now Windows 8 Pro.
These instructions may work fine with downloads, but if anyone wants to update this guide with special instructions for those who download from Origin please do so. I install from disc because I do not trust download installs. Ever since I started following these procedures I have not had a failed patch, expansion or stuff pack installation. We all want to play and we don't want to spend our time trouble shooting. So below is my guide to safe and error free patching and installing new expansion and stuff packs.īRONWIN’S GUIDE TO SAFE PATCHING, EXPANSION AND STUFF PACK INSTALLATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING. PLEASE NOTE STEP 7 AND THE BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING TIP AT STEP 16. THE OTHER FILES IN THE SIMS 3 FOLDER ARE NOT THE CAUSE OF YOUR PROBLEM.
YOUR MODS AND CUSTOM CONTENT ARE UP TO DATE OR ARE NOT THE CAUSE OF YOUR PROBLEM OR 3. YOU DON’T HAVE ANY MODS OR CUSTOM CONTENT OR 2. Running the Sims 3 with outdated mods, custom content OR some other bad or corrupted file in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 folder is the most common cause of crashes and your game not working correctly.
