Latest patch problem?

Laura_lolly87

Is anyone else having problems with the latest patch? When i tried to update my game it said my sims file was invalid, so I uninstalled all the game and reinstalled them again.

Now anything i had bought from the store won't install into my game. Its comes up in my download panel and says its downloaded and installed but as soon as I close the launcher its gone and it doesn't show up in the game. I think i uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times at this stage

If anyone else ever had this problem or is having problems with this patch and can help me i'd be very thankfull.

Ouch! Can't help you there as I had the problem with the extra content for a while. Then a patch came out and it was fixed again.

I'm kind of hoping it will fix itself when pets comes out. I don't really know what i'll do if it doesn't

I'm having problems with this patch and I had problems with the last one which meant I couldn't update my game for over a month.

My patch reaches 99% completion and then an error appears saying "Data error I/O failed" or something.

No idea how to fix it or what the problem seems to be. Really frustrating though.

Hey! I finally fixed this.

Click this link and follow the instructions. My problem didn't fix with options one or two but it did fix after I tried option 3.

You genius! Thanks!

SO finally got it fixed. My friend deleted everything from EA on my laptop and tried everything he could think of. As a last attempt he uninstalled my antivirus and BINGO!

Its back working and everything is downloading from the store again. The only problem is all my extra custom content is gone but i'm happy with what I have.

Glad to hear its sorted. I had fiddled with my antivirus too but wasn't the issue. The manual patch fixed it for me though.
