@puzzlezaddict wrote:@JustCallMeNerdy I successfully installed both items you linked me in the PM, so the items themselves aren't the issue. When you download the items, do you choose to "Open" or "Save"? I chose to save, manually moved the downloads to Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Downloads, and opened the launcher to install them. If you haven't tried this, please do now. And if clicking Install doesn't work, close the launcher and open it again.
If that's not the issue, pease open a Finder window, hold down the optn(alt) key, click Go at the top of your screen, then select Library. From there, open Application Support > Origin, and see whether you have a folder inside labeled Installer Data. If you do, please open it, take a screenshot of its contents, and attach it to a post.
If you don't have the folder, create one; be sure to get the name and case exactly right. If you have one, trash it and make a new one. Then try to install a new download of one item, and let me know whether it works. It may help to install a Store item first, although I'm not sure.
@LillyDoe Please try the same steps I've listed above.
@Serenoz99 Please try closing the launcher and opening it again, and if that doesn't help, quitting Origin, opening it, and opening the launcher from there again.
I’ve been away from my computer for the last few hours, attempting this fix shortly

@JustCallMeNerdy Please try repairing before anything else: a few people mentioned it fixed the issue for them. Open your Origin game library, right-click on the Sims 3 icon, and select Repair.
And if you've already done this and I've somehow forgotten, I apologize. It's been a long two days.

@puzzlezaddict maybe the repair works for people who already had the installer data in their orgin folder

@puzzlezaddictI did not have a folder so I'm wondering if that's why the repair didn't work? I've repaired it almost every single time that I've opened my game haha, waiting for it to boot up now. I just chose one of the worlds and there's already a file in the folder I created

@JustCallMeNerdy Thanks for letting me know; it's great to have something to offer people.
@younglor I'm not sure what's going on behind the scenes, but I guess both approaches are worth trying. At any rate, two potential solutions are so much better than none.
