My DLC wont work!

[avengedalice]

Can someone help me out? Ive bought Late Night and High End Loft, and when I open my Launcher the games dont appear at the bottom nor in game. Ive registered the base game and DLC through EA and when i log in nothing happens. I'm still stuck with just the base game. Does anyone have a cure for this madness?

me too...
my pet DLC is not work.

Same issues, pets DLC not working.

their installed into sims 3 directly and just becaue it doesn't show you still have it.

same Problem ALL DLC doesn`t work. Sims 2 Launcher starts without DLCs. In Launcher Bottom all DLCs have "Needed"-Flag.
I have all Main-Addons via Steam.
Because an other Error i´ ve rebuilded my System 3 weeks ago. In my previous Windows/Steam Installation Launcher & Sims starts correct.

same i have showtime and world adventures both not showing :(

22 GB of Reinstall later...... Bad work Steam and bad work Orgin!!!

After deinstall Sims 3 with Steam, Register Main Game & DLCs on Origin (for People not knows: your EA-Account you´ve created at 1st Start of the Sims 3) I was able to Download & Install Main Game and DLCs via Origin-Account.
Now Sims3-Launcher starts WITHOUT Steam (and Origin) but with my DLCs and I logged in in my EA-Account.

Here my Steps:
Step 1: deinstall The Sims 3 complete from Harddisk (Steam delete lokal Data)
Step 2: Register Main-Game & DLCs on Origin
Step 3: Download and install Origin-Client
Step 4: SETUP ORIGIN-CLIENT (don´t let Start it automaticly; Where have Origin install Objects after download; etc)
Step 5: Download Main-Game and DLCs with Origin-Client and install it in the right Order.
After install Main-Game you can see in the Bottom of Launcher the correct Order for the DLCs. (download on origin is a little bit faster as on Steam).

After these Steps
- I can Start Sims 3 (Launcher) without steam- and origin-client.
- All my DLCs have the "installed"-Flag in Launcher
- I don´t must Start Sim 3 with Adminrights (like in my previous Install)
- I´m logged in InGame in my EA-Account.

Short - after these Steps my Sims 3 runs correct.

Thanks, the game works now. So many people talk bad about origin, but i dont see the negative side of it other than EA requiring that you be connected to the internet to play games

[Kichi]

well people like or don't like origin for there own reason i guess

After run Sims 3, in main menu, requires the game disc. I purchased the digital version of the game that should be verified through SecuROM. SecuROM on Steam works, but it does not work on Origin.

I have the same problem. When I run The Sims 3 with my DLC installed, it doesn't show up!

How do i register it on origin

[n03113]

Does doing it through origin prevent me from using the game on multiple computers? I have no problems with my expansions on my computer at home, but at work it won't recognize one expansion. I've put a helpdesk ticket up for the SteamCS folks, waiting to hear back.

Today's Steam client update corrected the problem with nonfunctional DLC "The Sims 3". Lucky day :)

Thank goodness! :)
