Problems with.sims3package launcher
If you are having trouble starting your game or installing any expansion packs, you may be experiencing problems with the Sims 3 expansion packs launcher. Sometimes these expansion packs won’t show up in your Applications folder. This will make the game unable to be launched from other EPs or from the base game. If you’ve encountered this issue, follow the steps below to fix the problem. You can also install the affected expansion packs using Origin if you purchased them digitally.
If you have purchased any expansion packs and are unable to find them, check your game’s “Don’t see your packs” option. Then, click the “Install Packs” button. Then, select the expansion packs that you want to install. If they aren’t listed, click “Don’t see them? Check your game” and “Install Packs” will open the installation process.
Fixing game lag
You can fix game lag by changing your graphics settings to lower. If you are using a high-end graphics card, you should reduce the settings on this aspect to prevent lagging. This method works for both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions of the game. To fix the issue with the 32-bit version, follow the steps outlined below. If you still experience lag after making these changes, follow the steps in Fix 7.
First of all, you should restart your PC after performing the above mentioned steps. It may take a while for Origin to resume the download, but it should then start the backup process again. If it doesn’t resume after a while, try the next solution – repair the game in My Game Library. The repair process will verify the game files and resume the download. In some cases, the problem is caused by a FAT32 format partition. Consequently, the game cannot write more than 4GB of data at a time. In such cases, you can switch your C drive to NTFS. You can also perform a Windows clean boot and remove all Origin cache files.
