The Sims 3 won't open

★★ Novice

I just installed sims 3 world adventures and I updated it as I got a warning to do this before I started playing. But once I had got the update it didn't open the launcher, and whenever I try to open it, it says "unknown error occurred". Now I can't open sims 3 at all! Please help.

I'll bring this to the attention of our mac helper on here but I can't promise you a fast answer. We're all users here and do our best but we all have a RL that comes first.

 

If you want fast help from EA, contact a game advisor.

Choose a category, a game and a platform for the contact options to show up.

If live chat is gray, change your country to US and make sure you're on US Business hours. It might also gray because they're very busy. Try later.

The last patch didn't work very well for people when they tried to use the launcher.  

 

Check what patch your base game is following these instructions...go to your Sims folder under Documents and open up the text file "Version.tag."  (You can open this file with the application "TextEdit" if it asks you to choose one.)  What number does it list? If it doesn't start with 1.50...you need to try patching manually. Here is a post where you can find the link to the SuperPatch for Macs: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/549552.page
