Error Message when try to load Appaloosa Plains

[ALBirkey824]

I just bought The Sims 3: Pets off of the Origin store as a PC Download. I downloaded and installed my game and made sure that everything was up to date. However, when I try to start a game with Appaloosa Plains, I get an error message reading. " A serious error has occurred while loading 'AppaloosaPlains.world'. It is highly recommended that you restart the application."

I tried quitting the game and restarting and nothing. Still the same message. I have checked to make sure my game is updated using the launcher and I am now at a loss. I had also bought Night Life at the same time as Pets and that one works fine. It is just Appaloosa Plains. Any help would be awesome! Thanks!!

quit your game go to your electronics arts /thesims3/saves is there a .bad file in there ?

[ALBirkey824]

Not that I see. All the files end in .sims3 or .sims3.backup

I have never played on Appaloosa Plains before, I was trying to start a new game.
