Re-installing game
« on: July 20, 2014, 01:11:31 PM »
I just got a new computer, since my old one crashed and need to re-install the sims. I have the download version. I downloaded the base game yesterday, but didn't have time to test it. I tried to start downloading my expansion packs, but I just got a message saying I needed to go to the launcher and update. I tried to open the launcher, and it just told me that it wasn't working. Any thoughts on how I can get it all working? I should add that I got the download a while ago, and it's no longer available on amazon, and my new computer is a window 8.1, while my old one was windows 7.

Try this... This is what I have to do on a reinstall.

Install base game.
Apply 1.67 super patch.
Install EP's and SP's.
Reapply 1.67 super patch.

I have no clue why I have to do it like that, but it works every time.

How can I apply the base patch without being able to open the launcher?
