But how do you unstall the game I am trying to download sims the Island Paradise but it says I have to update sims but when I go to it says it is up to date HELP ME PLEASE I WAS SO EXCITED TO PLAY IT NOW I CAN'T
You can go to you control panel on your computer and when the list of installed programs comes up you can uninstall it from there. But why would you need to uninstall the game to install Island Paradise? Its an EP so you wouldn't need to uninstall it. As for your update here is a link to the sims 3 forum so you can download it directly and update your game. "forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/175477.page" . If it doesn't do a direct link just copy and paste it into your browser. Also ALWAYS back up your save file for your game before updating. I hope that helps.
Please help me when I try to install my sims 3 movie stuff it says that I have to have an installed copy of the sims 3 I don't know how to do that( it my first time to play the sims and it NOT working ) plzzz HELP how did you put up ur game when u had it ur first time???
I haven't played my sims in a while and when I got back on, it said I couldn't play the game, it said "Unable to launch Sime 3, please reinstall the base game" and when I went to reinstall it by putting in the serial code, it said It couldn't reinstall because this game has already been installed. It's been a few months and I'm going insane without my sims, HELP ME PLEASE. IM VERY DESPERATE!!
On the base game disc should be files that are the same as in the programs file on your computer. You should copy from the disc to the hard drive the files you need. Let me look it up for exact details. I'm not home right now so it might take a little while.
TheAbiGrimshaw Ok. FIRST: BACK UP YOUR SAVE FILE!! C:\Users\Tisuto\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Saves, you can put it on your desktop if you want but you should also make a copy to a flashdrive or something. NEXT: Open My Computer > right click on the game disc, open in new window > highlight all of the files (ctrl+a). Go to the sims 3 folder on your hard drive, C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3, paste those files in the Sims 3 folder. That should correct the files in the game for you.
+Payton Larocque I didn't get this comment via email. I only just caught it as I was looking through the analytics for my channel. I know its late but you can right click the game and then check for updates should be listed. Thanks for watching.
HELP ! I uninstalled my game because of a glitch and now I can't reinstall it because I lost my code and I tried to just reinstall it from the Sims folder and its not working ! :(
Hello there i'm tryin to install and patch up my game i've googled everywhere i get backing up everything i have done everything but noone mentions where to place the downloaded patch file, what folder does it go in or what i'm totally lost
ok. I'll send you the link in a pm. but I am going to put it in the description also. I'm glad you asked. I guess it slipped my mind when making the video.
I don't know if you can help me with this but when I open the sims 3 it says log in when I push that it says this content can't be displayed in a frame when I push on open this content in a new window I can log in but it won't be in the game launcher help me
+Dixie Parmer (LalaLoops) are you running windows 7 or 8. I did a little research and it seems like people with 8 are having the most trouble with the game. Try running the game with a different compatibility. computerbasicslearning.blogspot.com/2013/01/how-to-get-sims-3-to-work-with-windows.html
Emma Lewis C:\Users\Tisuto\Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 go to that link on your computer then copy and save your files. You NEED saves, downloads and exports.
Please help me I uninstalled my sims 3 game without backing it up and now it won't let me redownload it it is saying that this serial code has already been used and I know this video was uploaded in 2013 but please help me
I would contact ea. Go to their website and you can use the chat help. If they can't fix it through chat then ask for number to call. And then that usually works. They may have to reset it for you but you should have .exe copy on your hard drive. I know mine does for my downloads. Your best bet would be to contact ea.
I just bought Sims Generations for my PC and I need to update the game before I can install it. My internet was so slow, though. That is the only way I know how to update the game. Is there another way? (And I've been playing Sims 3 for the past month without opening the launcher . Does anyone know of a patch .Thanks...
+Kell Harrison Do you mean the launcher doesn't have the update button at the bottom of the list? Follow the instructions in the description. Here is the link to the patch. forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/175477.page Don't open your launcher to install it. Just click on the patch when you download it. It should work on its own.

What do you mean? Nothing should happen to your saves. Back them up as a precaution. If you un-installed your game you will need them to put your saves back.

How do you install the expansion packs because I have no idea I got my expansion pack from steam so I don't have a code to register
+Puppy Gmod steam should have given you one. You might have to search your game properties but you can always email them to get it.
Okay thanks!

Umh how do you uninstall your game? Because you didn't put that in the video
you go to your control panel on your pc and uninstall. you have to uninstall the sp/ep before you do the base game. Remember to back your game saves up unless you just want to restart everything.
i need help in 2020!
do you have to uninstall ur game to do the patch update manually
and do you have to delete the mods folder even if you didnt put it there?
no. you don't have to delete it.
+MSP Duckie 101 I didn't but I would advise moving it to the desktop until you finish installing it.

what happens to your saves games if you do this ?
What do you mean? Nothing should happen to your saves. Back them up as a precaution. If you un-installed your game you will need them to put your saves back.
Hello!
link doesnt work. i left a dislike. didnt help at all!!!! You have to check to make sure links work cause it keeps saying page not found
Look at the date on the video BEFORE you take it's advice. If it's more than 6 months then it's likely not to help you.
