If the above works or doesn't give the option to choose the install location, try changing the install location in Origin to see if that's a way to install the expansion for future expansion/stuff packs bought through Origin. If you have the downloaded expansion pack, you can go to Origin, click "Origin" (at the top of the window), select "Application settings" on the list, then find "Browse Game Installers" and see if you can install the expansion pack via the file(s) found there. You also don't need to use a CD if you install through Origin. From what I know, you can download the games you own as many times as you want. I think the reason why it's showing up as corrupted might be because you didn't install the base game with Origin.īy the way, you can add any EA games, including Sims 3 games, you have to your Origin account by selecting the "Origin" option at the very top of Origin and then "Add Game.".


Note: It's Program Files (x86) for my 64 bit system On the PC it should be under C:/Program Files/Electronic Artsįor Origin it goes to C:/Program Files/Origin Games

I am wishing now I would have ordered the disc. Is there a place where the file is downloaded to, so I can put it on a usb stick and try installing on the other computer?ĭo I have to purchase another copy of Seasons for than pc, and re download it? The other PC is a slower wireless connection to the net, and I would like to avoid downloading it again of possible - first off, will it let me download again?

Now, I would like it installed on the other PC anyway, since that is the one they play it on the most, but I can't find the file it downloaded so I can take it to the other PC. My daughter wanted the seasons expansion pack, so I bought the download version for them, and after I finally figured out how to download it via the origin app it would not install, said the sims install was corrupt and could not continue. This is the scenario: my kids have the sims 3 game, we have it installed on two different PC's, when I am using the main PC they take the CD and play it on the other.
