bholder9-   If it makes you feel any better, my Island Paradise has been sitting in Origin with the same problems your having since it's launch date almost 2 weeks ago. It's also effected the downloading of University Life, and Pets has completely disappeared from my library altogether. Origin reps say it should be atleast another week before anything is fixed.

  • Origin ID: theoriginaldyani
  • Are you opted into the Origin Beta? NO
  • OS X version (How to find your OS version): 10.8.4
  • Processor, Memory and Graphics card information 

    Processor Name:Intel Core 2 Duo

      Processor Speed:3.06 GHz

    Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 4670

  • Expansions you have/have active: Generations, paradise, late night, pets, seasons, university, world adventures. Bought and "downloaded" Ambitions most recently from Origin, or so I thought
  • Any error message received: None
  • A detailed description of what is occurring: I bought Ambitions most recently, and was downloading it all normal. I stepped away from my computer while it was finally installing, and when I came back a message said that the installer quit unexpectedly. Now, when I go to Origin, it says Ambitions is installed and I can click "play". But when I click play, the sims 3 launcher comes up and does not recognize that I have supposedly installed Ambitions.   I check my Sims 3 applications folder and the icon for Ambitions was not there, just the readme.txt for it. 
  • A detailed description of any troubleshooting you have already attempted: I have tried deleting the readme.txt and reinstalling Origin, hoping that I can redownload and install Ambitions again, but no. I am extremely frustrated at this. I should be able to download a thousand files of the game if I purchased it, no matter if Origin thinks it's already installed or not. I could solve this problem on my own if I could simply redownload and reinstall the expansion pack that I have payed for! I was looking forward to playing this on my day off. I don't even care about troubleshooting, just give me the download for Ambitions again and I'll fix it myself!

Intel core 2 duo, 2 GHz 

memory: 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M

  • Expansions you have/have active: Sims 3 world adventures, Sims 3 Late night, Sims 3 pets, Sims 3 seasons, Sims 3 university, Sims 3 island paradise
  • Any error message received: no
  • A detailed description of what is occurring: When I launch the game, it plays normally for a few minutes before it crashes and a small window appears that asks me something about debugging.  I clicked yes, but don't really know what this all means.  THe game was working fine for a week or two and just this morning I've been having trouble.  THis has happened three times now.
  • A detailed description of any troubleshooting you have already attempted: I have clicked yes every time it asks me if I want to debug.  I think that there is an issue with some object, I don't know if I'm even writing my problem in the right place, but my expansion has been working normally up until now! Don't understand the problem with this debug thing!

Ursula: This is a completely different issue as the one discussed here. Please open a separate thread for it. You can also check our very helpful thread about Mac issues here:
