Installing "anything" has gotten weird

(1/3) > >>

jpinard:
I'm not sure what I did, but I hope someone can help me fix it.  I have the purchased version of Sims 3 and everything legal.  I installed a few programs to help make the game better.  Awesome mod (no patch from EA yet), InstallMonkey, and S3PE.

Now when I go to install an object, I double click the file (or download it and it's in the EA launcher), and then it installs.  After it's installed however, I get a second "installing" window that never goes anywhere - stays at 0%.  I manually close that and all is fine.  But it's a terrible pain because I have to install items etc one at a time.  Any idea what might be causing this?  Thanks!

Zaphod Beeblebrox:
Yep, I've gotten the same thing since the patch installed.  I occasionally got it before the patch, as well.  My advice is to use a third-party program to install with, such as Jfade's 3Viewer or Delphy's Sims3Pack Multi Installer.  Installing via the EADM/Launcher is fucking borked in many ways, and it is highly recommended that you do not use it.

Sigmund:
I actually got this prior to installing the patch, and astonishingly enough it went away after the patch. I have no idea what caused it or what fixed it. (I'm skeptical that EA actually managed to fix very much.) JFade's 3Viewer is a nice little tool, though, I'd recommend just switching to that.

Roxxy:
Recently had exactly the same problem you described when I tried to install content using the official Launcher, not sure how long that has been the case though as I normally use the 3 viewer.

jpinard:
I haven't installed the patch yet.  Do you recommend it?
