How to uninstall a sims 3 update?

I had sims 3 on automatic updates and it accidently installed an update where single sims cant have children (if you move out a sister of your main sim or something, she cant have a baby unless you find a husband for her and stuff...). How do I uninstall an update in sims 3?How to uninstall a sims 3 update?
unfortunately you cannot uninstall updates as far as I know, what you will have to do is reinstall The Sims 3, and then restore your saves, which I will explain how to do.


Start by going to your 'Documents' folder, and clicking ';Electronic Arts';. Find the folder that is named ';The Sims 3'; and copy paste it to the desktop.


Then uninstall The Sims 3, restart, then install it again.


After you have done that, you will need to restore the saves, by loading up The Sims 3, then quitting it. Then paste the ';The Sims 3'; folder on the desktop into the same directory as it was before. It will ask if you want to replace the current files, click Yes To All, and then you should have your saves back. However, you might need to repatch it to the point before the patch that created the problem, and reinstall any custom content you had.





I HIGHLY recommend leaving the patch on, however, as they are there for a reason (I believe they made your problem because they didn't want to overpopulate the neighbourhood which would lead to a slowdown in the game).


Hope that helps
