Sims 3 World Downloads

[Manases Blakemore]

WhileCAW is finicky to get running, and it doesn't work in certain situations, you should be able to download it, in Windows at least, as long as the store site recognizes that you own the game and have a valid install.

@meggyreap You do need to be signed into the Sims 3 website to download CAW, so that's likely the issue. Try using a different browser: Firefox and Internet Explorer tend to work better with the store than Chrome. Using a different browser would also get around any privacy settings your main browser has that might be preventing you from signing into the site.

If you still can't login, try doing so while you're already signed into another EA site, like this one. If you open the Sims 3 site in another regular (not private) window in the same browser, it should recognize your credentials and sign you in automatically, provided you're using the same email address on that site as you do here.

I did had the same problem,and manege to fix it, bt now i encounter a new one. Every time i download the create a world tool and install it, it gets installed in german and not english. do you know what can i o to fix ths?

@hylmimi3000 When the blank tab opensp, a little box should show up asking what application you want to use to open the download. However, your browser might be blocking the download before it can even start. So you may need to manually allow pop-ups or circumvent some other security feature in your current browser, or try using a different browser.

I'm logged into the sims 3 site and when I press the download button for the 1.69 compatible option, it opens a new tab for a second then closes. nothing comes up on my downloads bar in my browser or in my files.

Hi, i'm trying to install store content that I had a bought awhile ago and only single objects or clothing will download. No worlds or sets will properly install and then it says 'there was a downloading error'.

Hi! I just bought the World Bundle for the Sims 3 on Origin. It includes Monte Vista, Hidden Springs, and I later figured out I got a 100 SP and a chocolate fountain with it too. So I filled out the codes I got from Origin on the Sims 3 store website, and it said that I had 'the right to download -product x-'. So I went to purchases, and Monte Vista was there, the chocolate fountain too, but Hidden Spring is not. And when I downloaded Monte Vista, it says that it's unable to download? I tried the same thing with Riverview, and it is just unable to download? I don't really understand why, and it's really frustrating as I spend 20 bucks on it. Can someone please help me, because I can't return it

Okay, quick little update. So after a little while, I discovered that Hidden Spring is there. So that's all good, but I still can't download it. When I try to download it, it pops up in the launcher and then it says 'Unable to download'. So still pretty bummed about that, so please help me out !

@mandycarolina Is your computer a pc or mac? Can you download ANYTHING from your purchase history? When you click download in the purchase history the game launcher needs to be used as this is not a regular download so the default program to use is sims3launcher. If your computer is a pc - open control panel - click default programs - click associate a file type or protocol with a program - .sims3pack should be Sims3Launcher - if not change it to Sims3Launcher.

I have a Macbook Pro. I can download everything else, except for the Worlds. The World Bundle came with a chocolate fountain thing, and I'm able to download that with no problem. Other objects from the Sims Store and CC are absolutely fine and work. It's just that the Worlds don't work.

So I've been having some issues with the Sims 3 Store that Worlds don't want to download into my launcher and I don't know why. They pop up but after a few second it says 'There was an error Downloading Content.' Now I don't have any other problems with CC or other store stuff, so that's what makes this so weird. I figured if I was able to download the files directly to my laptop, I would be able to make it work, but they're only in the store. I can't get the files to my laptop! Can anyone explain to me how I get the Sims 3 Store content DIRECTLY downloaded to my laptop? So not through the launcher. I'm on a Macbook Pro and I have the latest version of the game installed. Please help me out, because I'm getting really frustrated of not being able to use my buck...

This is a completely EMPTY new world for TS4. Each lot (both residential and community, for each neighborhood) have been emptied of buildings and Sims, and renamed EMPTY. In the newest versions of this world, all community lots have been changed to Residential (you may always change the type of any lot on any TS4 map). Since the newest versions of TS4 also include terrain manipulation, all lots have been leveled (all terrains may be changed at your will). There is nothing built on any of these lots, as you can see by the following screenshot gallery. I did this initially for myself, since I really dislike having to bulldoze lots every time I want to just build something new!

Thank you so much for your help. The Twisted Valley I found on my external drive somehow does not have the character sims you added. I have all the stealth hood families. I think, I remember families or single sims in the family bin. I think there was a lady sailor and a male pirate with a pegged leg and seems like an elder male sailor. I think there were 2 households living on lots and the rest were in the family bin. I would really appreciate if you would upload the Twisted Valley with the characters you added. I go though phases from Sims 2 and Sims 4 to my other hobbies, but the past couple of months, I have been burned out from seeing the same neighborhoods in sims 2 and would really like to explore another neighborhood. My Origin logon for Sims 4 has been slowing my old laptop down so much for the past few months that I lose interest by the time I get Origin logged in. That was an awesome idea of making an empty save and thank you for sharing and Twisted Valley too. I will download Peazip and look forward to exploring Twisted Valley.

Wow! Thank you so much. I just downloaded both versions of the neighborhood and have a couple of copies stored on computer and stored a copy of each version on my external drive in case computer finally gives out. That would be great if you would send the cc for the neighborhood to see the full effect. I think a little more cc would not hurt it worse than it already is, because my Downloads folder is way out of control already at 7.2 GB with 39,996 files, but it could probably handle a little more. I actually have been spring cleaning for the past 2 weeks going through the Downloads folder with Clean Installer and moving a lot of cc to external drive and got it down to 6.3 GB and run it back up there. A few months before that, it had got up to almost 10 GB and my hard disk was almost out of space, so I really had to do some moving files. I really need to stop browsing and looking at all the houses and cc, because I keep downloading and then go all into the game configuration files and Windows files trying to improve the game on a 12-year-old laptop. lol Thank you so much and I am on my way to load the game and explore the neighborhood and while my game loads for 30 minutes, I can get dinner cooked. lol Thank you.

Also, I just timed going into TS4 through the EA App. It took less than a minute for the app to load and be ready for instructions. When I hit PLAY for TS4, it opened the game interface in just about a minute. Then the game took one more minute to be ready to play.

My Sims 4 and Origin open fast. I use Lazy Duchess RPC Launcher for my Sims 2 that way I do not have to go through Origin. Origin running in the background slows my computer down, so I usually get game going and close Origin. I have not installed the EA App. I hope my games from Origin are still there. Even with RPC Launcher, my Sims 2 game loads slow due to the large Downloads folder. Every time I shave or compress the files and get the folder to smaller GBs, I go on a cc spree and add back to it. ? Thanks again for the neighborhood, got UID number changed in SimPE and going to launch the game.

Wow! You sure do have a large talented family! It is amazing how young children like automatically know how to handle game controllers, all the letter buttons and combination of buttons to push to make the character on the game do something. I have 2 young men. One is 30 and the other son died 3 years ago and would be 24. He was in to guns and was trained and knew the safety of using it and a friend came over and he was showing him his knew AK-47, which I did not know at all that he had purchased a weapon like that, and he thought the gun was empty and forgot about the one in the chamber and his friend hit the trigger and it went off and shot my son in the abdomen. He had numerous surgeries and paralyzed for a while but might could have walked, but his foot was bent like a taco. Following one of the surgeries, gallbladder, it became infected and killed him 2020. Worst part was him being in the hospital and Covid had the hospitals on lockdown when he died. My husband, died 3 years before in 2017, and he would be 73, actually the same age as you with his birthday in December of 1949. My other son plays a lot of Playstation games and chess sometimes, but his main thing he does is talk everything sports, mainly basketball. He collects a lot of trading cards and sells some on E-Bay. We are a rather small family now, mother died in 2017 and father is still alive but, they divorced in 1985 when I was 15 and with us kids choosing to live with our mother, because you had to choose one, he divorced us too and has had nothing to do with us 4 since. I have a twin brother named Michael and a sister one year younger and a brother 2 years older. The oldest, along with my father, are artists and draw. My twin was a bricklayer and my sister is a medical transcriptionist, which I was also until I became disabled. My 2 brothers have no kids. My twin lost his wife last month and they had no kids. My sister has 2 sons as well, but they live with their father, so my sister and I live together, so basically just us 3 siblings and my son and 2 nephews. I took computer repair and networking and wanted to do CAD but at the time could not afford the program. That is what I like about Sims 2 is the architectural side of the game with it built in and love to decorate houses and landscape them. When not doing that, I crochet and cross stitch or play chess or backgammon. I love wood working too, but do not have the equipment to do it. I was in shop in junior high, the only girl lol, because they got the names mixed up and spelled my brothers name wrong, so they had Michele instead of Michael, so I took it and the next class took home economics and my brother chose basketball. lol They asked if I wanted to change to something else, but I chose to stay because it was fun making a foot stool and took a lawnmower engine apart and put together and made it run. Whoa! Sorry for going on so long! I have one question about Twisted Valley. I got my game and neighborhood to load and in the build/buy mode, I see a lot of the cc, but like all the signs and prison cc, boats, etc., none of them show up on the neighborhood and were there any lots, residential or community lots that come with the neighborhood or just the characters in the family bin? I had to modify the neighborhood terrain to install a beach lot residential lot which was made into a yacht for the elder man with the captains hat on, so that was fun with the modifyNeighborhoodTerrain with the [ ] \ up or down and smooth to get it to fit. Then after it loaded and had to paint half of the yacht, guess the wall cc did not get downloaded, and before I could save and exit, the game crashed. Anyway, I am going to try and go finishing painting that boat and move that captain in and then install another beachlot of a wooden-looking pirate ship for the pirate character and find homes for the other residents. I made a copy neighborhood folder with the Bulk Rename program and went into SimPe and changed the neighborhood type to suburb so I can use it as a subhood to another neighborhood. One more thing I just thought about. I was wondering if you remember a Sims 2 neighborhood named Morewood. I come across a post at The Sims Resource site back when they first uploaded that neighborhood around 2009. I did not start playing Sims until 2014, so I missed all of these neighborhoods and most of the links on different websites are dead and the download link for Morewood is dead on about 3 different links. You would not happen to have a copy of that neighborhood do you? I read the blogspot.com about the neighborhood and characters and sounds like a pretty good neighborhood too. Thank you again for Twisted Valley, going to try my luck again without the game crashing, but I definitely need to shave off about half of my downloads folder, but this old laptop is struggling. lol
