It can mess up your computer badly by downloading 10 already and then you should need to find out how to get 8 back you know so i suggest you not to.

The version of The Sims 3 downloadable from Origin including its Packs uses EA's own tech and is compatible with Windows 10.
So if you are having problems, redeem your codes from disc versions on www.thesims3.com and download the Origin version.
Also try the following
Note: Deleting Internet Files from Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera will NOT suffice. It HAS to be Internet Explorer.
Also, create a The Sims 3 icon on your desktop, right click it and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. Being an Admin on the PC is not the same as running a program as Administrator unless you disabled UAC in your Windows settings. If you don't know what UAC is, you didn't disable it.

Right click on the game short-cut and choose properties. There you should be able to choose compatibility mode
Good Luck
