Sims 3 Installation

[eruschak]

I try installing my sims 3 expansion packs and before it starts installing, it stops and tells me that I need to be logged in as an administrator. I am the only account on the computer and when I look at my account level it is marked as "administrator acount". 

How can I get around this so that I can install my games?

Hi @eruschak ,

Are you installing from disc or through Origin ? Did you try running the setup as administrator ? You can do so by right-clicking on the shortcut and choose run as administrator. If you're installing through Origin, run Origin as administrator.
