Origin

Origin (formerly known as EA Download Manager or EADM prior to 8.1) is the download manager provided by EA used to download and install When The Sims 3 Late Night came out on Oct 26, 2010 (29 Oct 2010 in Europe), many Windows 7 users reported that The Sims 3 Launcher would crash after they closed it. EADM was the cause of this and the latest version of it resolved the problem. The glitch is not present on The Sims 3 Fast Lane or earlier The Sims 3 games but the same problem will occur if running updates released on or after Oct 26, 2010.

In The Sims 3 Outdoor Living, the same problem occured when using the Latest EADM Version (This was fixed on April 29, 2011 with version 8.0.3.427).



It is said that this also occurs on Windows Vista

This glitch does not occur on The Sims Medieval or on Windows XP & Mac OS X.
