EA/ORIGIN - Now borking the exchange and your games.
Skadi:
For those of us who use the Exchange and original BBS [hey, there are some nice lots on there you know.] EA's new roll out of the My Page services have had an unexpected side effect.
To post on the BBS or use the Exchange you have to register your game in Origin. I had an EP registered and previously had zero issues with the TS3 site, other than the tards.
As of yesterday it tells me I am not game registered and cannot post/download/etc. I refuse to let Origin anywhere near TS3 since it has broken every game it has touched.
Damn EA and Origin.
Edit: It wouldn't let me link it to my existing Origin account, instead insisting I create a new one. I hate Origin.
Valid_Enough:
That sucks. I do not know if you are aware of this, but there is a trick to downloading from the exchange without needing an account.
Just go to the page where you would usually add the content to your game and right-click the page. Then select "View Page Source" and in the little window press "Ctrl" and "F" so the Find box appears. Simply type in "sims3pack" without the quotes which should bring you to a url that starts with "llnw.thesims3.com." Select the url, copy it, and paste it into your browser. The download should pop up and now you can use content from the exchange. This is assuming you have Firefox, but I'm pretty sure it works on any browser.
I hope you find workarounds to the other features.
Skadi:
That is a very neat trick. Thank you.
J. M. Pescado:
There's a greasemonkey script on this site somewhere that automates that business entirely, bypassing the entire login bullshit completely.
Capitaine Marie:
Using my web browser (*not* the Sims 3 site link), I went to Origin's site and made sure I had an Origin ID. Then I went back to the Sims 3 site and logged in with my old info.
