This user has the following games installed:

Sims 3, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Seasons, University Life
Default 'Invalid File Found' help
I've followed all of the directions to get rid of the 'Invalid File Found' error message but it didn't work for me. I'm not understanding what to do! I've tried every step numerous times but to no avail.

Wow, that's pretty drastic. Thankfully, I haven't played the game yet on this computer, so I haven't done anything yet.

I've reinstalled it and I still have the same problem with the same file, code_version.txt.

In order to better solve your problem, please go through the following as listed below:
  • Sims 3 - Uninstall
    This Game_Help:TS3_Uninstallwiki link has the step-by-step instructions to guide you through uninstalling The Sims 3.
I had the same issue with the (unchanged) code_version.txt and had to reinstall base game + WA.
Restoring it doesn't work <*shrugs*>. Dunno why and don't care, as long as I could get it fixed...

On occasion you might be asked to do a long FAQ - please make sure you do all the steps and don't just skip over them. You'll often find that these long FAQs have all the details you need. If nothing in the above FAQs fixes your problem you may post again detailing exactly which you have done and which steps failed.
