Sims Into The Future

[Marti Buday]

Ihad to have a new hard drive installed in my computer now I cannot get Sims 3 into the Future to install I keep getting an error message I have tried to contact EA they sent me one email telling me to close background apps and uninstall the EA app and reinstall it I've done all of that I've tried to run a repair on the game I've uninstalled the game and reinstalled it and still have the same problem. Is there anyone that can help me?

@jenynya I'm sorry, I don't have any other suggestions. You'll need to wait for EA to fix the issue on their end. I or someone else will post any new information in this thread, so feel free to subscribe to get updates.

@puzzlezaddict I take back what I said this actually works. When I first installed origin again it kept having connection failures but I tried today and it worked pets downloaded, I'm gonna leave it for longer and hope university installs as well. Thank you so much!

I recently had a new hard drive installed in my computer and my Sims 3 into the future will not install. I have tried to get help from EA tech support about a week ago and I have only received one email and that was the only option they will give. I have run a repair on the game uninstalled and reinstalled both the EA app and the game including all or the game packs. I can't seem to get any help help through EA for some reason. I don't know what to do. Is there someone who can possibly help me? Im attching a screenshot of the error message I'm getting.

I am having some troubles installing the Sims 3 - Into the Future expansion pack. I went to the sims website and purchased the pack, and went to install it though Origin. The only issue is that when I go to my game library and attempt to download the game itself, a dialogue box appears and says,

"It seems the base game for this DLC was not installed through Origin. For The Sims 3 Into the Future to work, you must:

1. Select Uninstall Now below, locate the base game. and follow the on-screen instructions to uninstall it.

2. Download and install the base game through Origin by selecting it in My Games and clicking download.

After that, you can download and play the Sims 3 Into the Future."

My question is what is the base game? The original Sims 3 game that I purchased? I have tried uninstalling the entire Sims 3 and reinstalling it, but the Into the Future expansion pack still will not allow me to download it because of the 'base' game. Anyone know how to go about fixing this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I don't work or have any association with EA. I give advice to the best of my knowledge and cannot be held responsible for any damage done to your computer/game.

Please only contact me via PM when asked to do so.

I did some research and saw the post regarding the DLC compatibility issue that some people have been experiencing when attempting to run their games. However, if I attempt to solve the same problem from the post on 'DLC Compatibility Issues", I get the error message that says, "Windows prevented the application from creating a download directory. Please accept the UAC prompt to begin downloading this game." I've tried lots of different methods of uninstalling the original Sims 3, and all of my expansion packs, does anyone have any advice? I would be more than grateful for any info on how to solve this problem

"Setup has detected that the sims 3 is corrupted or not installed.

Setup is unable to continue"

Why this is happening to me??

My sims 3 is not corrupted and it is installed too.I have no mods also.

So why this is happening?

I, too, am having a problem downloading The Sims : Into The Future expansion pack. I just recently bought it from the sim store. When I tried to download it, it says: Before you can download The Sims Into The Future, you must first update The Sims 3. From the launcher, my sims is already updated to 1.67, but I still can't manage for Origin to recognize the fact that it's already updated so I can download the expansion I just paid for. I think from here on out, I will be buying hard copies instead of downloads because I don't have money to be wasting on things that don't work. Do you have any idea of how I can get it to work properly?? I have uninstalled & reinstalled & nothing is working!! HELP!!

I am pretty sure this has been asked and answered so if you can provide the solution thanks. Sim travels to future but when there sim does not show. The sim portrait is missing an the sim panel is blank. When sim arrives in future town it is active the time is moving and sims are walking around the only thing missing is my sim coming through the portal.

oh boy , see if either of these links can help this issue can also happen with sending sims off to the world adventures,uni and as you see into the future too , you may also have a save game corruption going on too if you can try go to edit town save a copy of your sim to the library start a new game and try again if you have the back up save in the saves folder you can make a copy of that then rename the copy by carefully removing the .backup and then launching the launcher and start the game from the renamed save if your sim shows up then save a copy of the to the library and starting again ( and yep i've had to do at times wave a game goodbye ) if in the saves folder any of your saves have a .bad delete them they are no good and just take up space some tips here that may or may not work

The Sims 3 Into the Future Expansion Pack introduces a new Futuristic World and Skills, Careers, Objects, Sim clothing and hairstyles to fit the experience. This summary of Expansion features will let you know what you'll get when you buy Into the Future and link you to in-depth strategy guides for the new gameplay elements. Into the Future is the last Expansion Pack, heralding The Sims 4 which is currently planned for release in Fall 2014. With some exploration, you will find little easter eggs and teasers for TS4. I'll feature plenty of screenshots on this page to show off this beautiful Expansion.

The Future World of Oasis Landing

Oasis Landing is not a world you choose when creating a new game, but one that Sims can travel to (much like a travel destination in World Adventures or Attending Sim University. When first loading the game, a Time Traveler named Emit Relevart will appear and give you an Opportunity to help him. Once this easy task is completed, you are given an Almanac of Time and the ability to use the Time Portal to visit the Future. While a Sim (or Group of Sims) is in Oasis Landing, time will freeze back home while the Sims time traveling will continue to age and may gain skills, join careers, or simply have fun and enjoy Futuristic amenities.

If you are looking for a Time Portal, you can find them in Buy Mode > Sort by Room > Outdoors > Outdoor Activies. It's the Wellsian Time Portal for $725. The Portal that appears in your world can be Deactivated and then placed in your Sim's inventory, so you can choose where you place it. While the portal is active, click Travel to the Future (or Travel to the Future with..) to head on in.

An Introduction to the Future

Most of the more complex mechanics are covered further in this guide, but there are some interesting things about Oasis Landing and the technology that developed over the years. First, there is no Ocean, but a Wasteland outside any of the Futures you visit. I'll leave reading the storyline and discovering why up to you. Advanced Technology reigns and Sim life fully revolves around it. Cars hover and Sims can get around on the ZEPHYR monorail system, pictured above. Elevators are engineered into tubes that move faster than usual and televisions are now projected like holograms in ultra high definition. The internet has been changed to a holoweb and the floating Orb computers can be used anywhere. Plumbots serve Sims in shops and out in town, while others are Sentient and free-thinking Robots. You are able to buy and upgrade these. Sims can get around on Windcarvers, which are like skateboards that hover. This can be used instead of walking when you click it in the inventory. Sims can also travel by Jet Pack, but you should be aware of the dangers of that activity and have plenty of Advanced Technology skill to use them, so see that section on this page. In fact, many of the new objects depend upon your Advanced Technology skill level to determine what will happen when you use them and the animations Sims use while performing those actions.
