EA App - Easy Sims 3 Store Content Fix - Cyclical

Most of the Sims 3 players who have made the switch to the EA app have experienced this issue. You’re playing and then one day you boot up your game, and your store content is gone. Just. Gone. Inexplicably.

There have been a few fixes proposed, but usually nothing that lasts. I have, through some experimenting, found a cycle of two easy, quick settings to switch on/off to go between each time your store content decides it’s time for a vacation.

Details and steps below the cut!

***The fastest way to check if either fix is working is to put some of your store content sims3pack files in your downloads file again in Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3/Downloads. When you open your launcher, you can check the Downloads tab and see if it shows boxes for icons or if it shows that the content is installed already.

First, with the Sims 3 launcher closed, in the top left corner of the EA app click the 3 horizontal lines and then select settings out of options that drop down. From there, select “Application”. You should see this screen.

FIX ONE: Scroll down and turn off in-game overlay

That should be the first fix complete! Your store content items should show once more in your game

***If your settings are already set to the above, then follow the next fix instead.

FIX TWO: Moving back up, turn off notifications entirely

Make sure to load the Sims 3 launcher at least once with the new setting before changing your notifications setting back to what you would like.

Did it break again after Fix Two? Re-enable notifications, re-enable in-game overlay, and then follow Fix One again.  ***Do not keep the in-game overlay on when playing Sims 3

Happy simming, my friends!

EDIT: Note - You may need to shut down your computer in between changing settings for the fix to take effect. Not restart, but shut down and then turn on again. This is what I’ve just run into on my own computer at least.

***None of this has been tested with decrapified sims3pack files. I’m honestly not even sure if those have been affected by the change or not.

2ND EDIT: well, sometimes these things work, and sometimes they don’t. I’m not sure why. At all. Sorry everyone. My suggestion is to convert your store content to .package files with the Multi-Extractor, and get some help from the lovely @blamseastore​ for your store worlds. If you have trouble with the multi-extractor, I’d still suggest going to https://blamseastore.tumblr.com/ for help. Installing these as .package files is the most surefire way to keep them from disappearing.

walking out of my room, covered in blood and dried tear streaks running down my face

guess what, turns out my laptop doesn't have a software problem after all!!

my friends cheer and clap. the eternal struggle is finally coming to an end. they won't have to endure my suffering anymore

my smile slowly falters. my shoulders slump

the hardware is broken

everyone fucking breaks down.

Back From The Dead

Hello! I’ve been away for a while and I’m sorry about that. I’ve been struggling with severe depression for a long time and it finally caught up to me. I’m on the mend. My Sims 2 game refuses to load and I am faced with a reinstall using UC. I didn’t have all the discs anyway and now I have no way other than with UC. I am hoping someone can point me to resources so I can have clean templates etc. I know @skyburned provided links to me awhile back but I can’t find them so any help is greatly appreciated. I’ve missed you all and hope to catch up one of these days. Been streaming a lot of Skyrim to pass the time. 

been playing inquisition the last two days and i didn’t forget that the way to skyhold crashes with mods but i am annoyed i couldn’t will it to not do that lol i’ll just use the opportunity to put in my mods for my adaar too so i can peak at her later tomorrow after i draw but i’m annoyed

Rant: Thanks for Nothing Microsoft!

So because of a mandatory update for my computer that didn't get installed properly for reasons beyond my comprehension, File explorer did not want to work anymore. Meaning I could not access my folders that holds all my stuff. Ya know...the primary thing you do when you use a computer.

If I wanted to say open a word document, I could open Libreoffice the program and open the file that I want like normal. I just can't open folder to click on that specific file. When ever I did the tool bar would vanish & refresh itself.

I had tried every method in order to fix this issue. I followed the exact steps. Nothing. Finally...in desperation I was forced to use the Nuclear option. Blow the whole thing away and reinstall windows 11 again.

Of course like a real Nuke, there is going to fallout radiation from that too. I was lucky because while I was able to do so in a round about method to back up all my stuff on to an external drive, there were some stuff (like saved files from my steam games) that were gone. Some of them were stuff I don't remember what they ever were because they were background programs that I needed in order to run other things, so because I wasn't actively & consciously aware of they were...I don't remember what they are only vaguely remembering icon images.

Of course as perv who has their private little collection of lewd stuff naturally I'm sweating a few bullets hoping that doesn't get accidentally discovered while getting help in an attempt to fix things.

Then there's the onerous task of trying to put your computer back together again. Reinstalling stuff. Putting everything back into their little places that you had before. Deleting bloatware. Trying adjust all the settings & micro adjustments to fit my personal tastes. Getting rid of all the BS that Microsoft likes to think is cool such as disabling the newly enforced Copilot bs. Getting rid of things like the visual image of announcing that I'm using the caps lock on my computer that the company that makes my laptop thing is a cool fetcher. Re logging into to stuff and going to your e-mail to do the confirmation that yes YOU ARE the person who is accessing this stuff. Reinstalling add ons & reteaching your favorite websites all the preferences you like to have. Having to sigh in resignation in that despite some of my best efforts there's always SOMETHING that you lost like save game files and knowing you gotta play through the whole thing again.

Plus the frustration, anxiety, & stress that you're doing this while other real life stuff is going on like fixing dinner and your minor chores that feel more like a distract from trying to fix things.

And the worst sin of: Having to spend a couple of hours waiting for in between it all for the reinstaling process.

All this...ALL OF THIS EFFORT, because of ONE single problem caused by an update to my system that I didn't want to do in the first place.

I'm am a very tired bat. I just wanted to watch some smut, play my games & write my stories.

It is crucial to address this error promptly to regain access to Steam and continue enjoying the gaming experience it offers. In this troubleshooting guide, we will explore the common causes of the error and provide step-by-step solutions to resolve it. By following the methods outlined in this guide, you can effectively troubleshoot the "Failed to Load steamui.dll" error and get back to gaming in no time. [caption id="attachment_63363" align="aligncenter" width="1280"] failed to load steamui.dll[/caption] Understanding the Error The "steamui.dll" file is an essential component of Steam's functionality. It is responsible for providing the graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to navigate through the Steam platform. When this file fails to load, it can prevent Steam from launching properly. There are several potential causes for the "Failed to Load steamui.dll" error. One common cause is file corruption, which can occur due to various reasons such as incomplete downloads, improper shutdowns, or malware infections. Additionally, conflicts with other software, outdated drivers, or even system file errors can also lead to this error. It is important to note that the error may manifest differently for different users. Some may encounter a pop-up error message, while others may experience crashes or freezing of the Steam client. Troubleshooting Methods Verifying Integrity of Game Files One of the first steps to troubleshoot the "Failed to Load steamui.dll" error is to verify the integrity of your game files using Steam's built-in feature. This method is particularly useful if the error is caused by a corrupted "steamui.dll" file. Launch the Steam client and go to the "Library" tab. Right-click on the game that is encountering the error and select "Properties" from the drop-down menu. In the properties window, navigate to the "Local Files" tab and click on the "Verify Integrity of Game Files" button. Wait for the verification process to complete. Steam will automatically detect and replace any corrupted or missing files. Once the process is finished, restart Steam and try launching the game again to see if the error persists. Verifying the integrity of game files can often resolve issues related to corrupted "steamui.dll" files, allowing Steam to function properly again. Updating Steam and Graphics Drivers Outdated software, including both the Steam client and graphics drivers, can sometimes cause the "Failed to Load steamui.dll" error. Updating these components can help resolve compatibility issues and ensure the smooth functioning of Steam. To update Steam, open the client and go to the "Steam" menu located in the top-left corner of the window. Select "Check for Steam Client Updates" from the drop-down menu. If any updates are available, follow the prompts to install them. Updating graphics drivers depends on the manufacturer of your graphics card. For NVIDIA graphics cards, you can use the GeForce Experience software to check for updates. For AMD graphics cards, visit the AMD website and download the latest drivers for your specific model. After updating both Steam and your graphics drivers, restart your computer and launch Steam to see if the error persists. Keeping your software up to date is crucial for optimal performance and can often resolve the "Failed to Load steamui.dll" error. Disabling Conflicting Software Conflicts with other software, such as antivirus programs or firewalls, can interfere with Steam's functioning and result in the "Failed to Load steamui.dll" error. Temporarily disabling or uninstalling conflicting software can help identify and resolve these conflicts. Identify any antivirus programs, firewalls, or other security software that may be running on your computer. Temporarily disable or turn off the identified software. Refer to the software's documentation or settings for instructions on how to do this. Restart your computer and launch Steam to see if the error still occurs. If the error is resolved, it indicates that the conflicting software was causing the issue. If you determine that specific software is causing the conflict, you can try adding Steam to the software's exception or whitelist list to allow it to function without interference. Remember to re-enable or reinstall any security software that was disabled after troubleshooting. It is important to maintain a secure system. Disabling conflicting software can help identify if they are causing the "Failed to Load steamui.dll" error. By temporarily removing these conflicts, you can determine if they are the root cause of the issue. Reinstalling Steam If the previous methods haven't resolved the error, reinstalling Steam can help fix any issues related to corrupted or missing "steamui.dll" files. Before reinstalling, it is recommended to back up your game files and settings. You can do this by navigating to the Steam folder on your computer (usually located in C: Program FilesSteam) and copying the "steamapps" folder to a safe location. Next, uninstall Steam by going to the "Control Panel" in Windows, selecting "Programs," and then "Uninstall a program." Find Steam in the list of installed programs, right-click on it, and select "Uninstall." After the uninstallation process is complete, download the latest version of Steam from the official Steam website (https://store.steampowered.com/about/). Run the Steam installer and follow the on-screen instructions to reinstall the client. Once Steam is installed, copy the "steamapps" folder back into the Steam directory to restore your game files and settings. Launch Steam and check if the error is resolved. Reinstalling Steam can often fix issues related to corrupted or missing "steamui.dll" files, allowing for a fresh installation of the client. Running System File Checker The System File Checker (SFC) is a built-in Windows tool that can scan and repair corrupted system files, which may be causing the "Failed to Load steamui.dll" error. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator. You can do this by searching for "Command Prompt" in the Windows Start menu, right-clicking on it, and selecting "Run as administrator." In the Command Prompt window, type the command "sfc /scannow" (without quotes) and press Enter. Wait for the scanning process to complete. The SFC tool will scan your system files and attempt to repair any corrupted files it finds. Once the scan is finished, restart your computer and launch Steam to see if the error is resolved.

re-birth re-start re-configure. I feel like this is the changing point, a change again. The change to my reality and emotions. Changing my habits. Loving myself, organising and re-classifying everything.

Breaking down to re-build, try again start over with a new install of me, a new version that has built up from the ashes of versions left behind previous. The version of me that is more aware of the innate differences in my fleshy hardware prison, and the limits of it, the update is purging all that has been and all that will be that is of no use to my future and wasn't of a use to my past.

I'm the new model, new version. The version that learns and adapts from kernel panics. The version that tries again and again with everything rather than just giving up when shit gets tough, or it's painful to put up with.

These are brand new eyes that can see trough the previous ignorance, and new architecture of thinking. This is a new product that is not the same, this is a fundamental re-thinking and re-design of the core architecture and functionality of this fleshware.
