Thank you for useful answers.. All others commenting on bad grammer/English, lack of ability to use search properly will be promptly targeted with flaming tarry boulders.
It's probably an issue with EADM. Try uninstalling, deleting registry keys, restart the computer and then do a fresh reinstall using your latest bought CD, and then update it if necessary. If it's any consolation, at the moment, after a fresh reinstall and no CC, the launcher works on my computer only if I have EADM open first, it otherwise crashes. I had issues before where I couldn't even download patches or download/upload things to the exchange or download the free things from the store if I installed any of the new EP patches that updated the game without having installed the EP as well. The download/upload issue would usually be solved after installing a new EP/SP.

i tried to download the Future shock set from here, and i got an error message telling me to update my game... i have the latest patch.. why does it say that for? :(
That's very common with sims3packs. EA has less idea how their code works than some modders. Quite a few modders.
If you tried to install the sims3pack, don't. Use a package. There's one available in this very thread, or, if you're up to it, run the sims3pack through Delphy's Sims 3 Pack Multi-Extracter. It's available at Mod The Sims.
If you're going to be using mods or custom content at all (including EA store content) it will serve you well to learn how the game works and how to use some basic tools. Google, read, google, read, google, read.

Thanks. I've always thought EADM/anti-pirate crapola was the cause--and I have a legal, registered copy of the game. I have all EPs and SPs. I have uninstalled TS3, deleted the registry keys, rebooted, and looked at the registry again to make sure I got all of them. I've reinstalled the game and patched them all - The thing that sucks in all this is the EADM always wants to download those huge EADM patches. I live out in the middle of nowhere on the back side of the Rockies and have satellite internet. It's terribly slow. It kills my bandwidth to reinstall several times and get the same patches over and over again - But I've done that maybe 5 or 6 times trying to fix it. Unfortunately, I have to wait freaking 30 days for the bandwidth usage meter to roll off. So I've used the computer at the university in town to download what I could. The patches work but not the store content.
The launcher does work for the older stuff I downloaded before the store downloads broke, It refuses to download newer stuff.
Lacking the EP/SP is not the issue, I have them all except the Outdoor Living SP. I went to EA and downloaded their latest EADM and will see if their newer version fixes the store downloader.
I've also gone through MATY stuff today and downloaded the s3rc busted store pack installer.... And the info about securom. I'll see what's borked there. I think it's a borked security lockout because I have lots of CC in my game.
I will do the standard EADM uninstall, cleanup and reinstall, see if that works, if not, I'll clear out the securom junk and see if the EADM corrects itself. Then I'll come back here and report what worked (if anything) But it will probably be a few weeks because I live out in the sagebrush sea where only the rumors of high Speed internet are heard.
p.s. Sheeply thanks ;0)

Ahahahahahahahha Yea. I've been around the community for several years. I normally don't post much here unless I need an answer to something to which I have not found the answer. Baaaaaaaaa... ;D
