@avickiehilaire  The location where you've installed Sims 3 shouldn't matter here.  On one of my computers, I installed it through Origin into the Origin Games folder, and the EA App has no problem with that even though the App is set to install into a different folder.

 

For the issue itself, it might be fixed now (as opposed to a couple days ago when you last tested), so please clear the App's cache again and try to play.

@AlestSims  Please try again now, while connected to the internet.  This issue might be fixed (maybe).

@KyThePotato  Try again now.  There was a temporary error with Sims 3 and the EA App that may be resolved now.

@avickiehilaire  Okay, try uninstalling Sims 3 and reinstalling it into a different folder than the one where it is now.
