[edit] Causes

You get the following error messages when starting Launcher:

  • Launcher showing version 0.0.0.0 after patching
  • "Base Game not compatible with current Expansion Pack."
  • "The version of the game you are running is incompatible with the data. Please update your game."
  • "Sims3Launcher has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
  • "There was an error during startup. See the Log for more details."
  • "This application has failed to start because QtCore4.dll was not found"


[edit] Actions

Firstly, if you're using Launcher to update, DON'T! Get the patches from Game Help:TS3 Patching:Patch Download and update manually. There are other suggestions in this FAQ that you might want to try: Game Help:Launcher Issues

Secondly, the other errors are usually due to an outdated EADM or Launcher not recognizing EADM. You need to update and get the latest one, now called Origins.


[edit] step 1

Do the FAQ guide in Game Help:TS3 EADM Issues to uninstall and reinstall EADM/Origins.

[edit] step 2

  • Make sure, you have at least renamed the DCCache folder in previous page, before attempting to install the item again.
  • If the folder has already been renamed, and previous installation attempts have failed, delete the missingdeps.idx
  • You may also want to recall how to verify a Sims3Pack is installed from previous page.

[edit] step 3

After we've done that, load a NEW game to test.

  • Does the content now show up in a new game?
  • You can Quit without saving now.


If when loading a NEW game, the content shows up, try next on one of your save games.

  • Does the content now show up in your save game?
  • You can Quit without saving here, too.


[edit] Results

If it does show up, means either the DCCache folder contents have issues, or the outdated EADM was the issue.

Doesn't show up in either a saved game or new game? Go to Next Step.


[edit] Next Step
