We have tried pinging The Sims 3 website using our server and the website returned the above results. If thesims3.com is down for us too there is nothing you can do except waiting. Probably the server is overloaded, down or unreachable because of a network problem, outage or a website maintenance is in progress...
If the site is UP but you cant access the page, try one of the below solutions:
Browser Related Problems
- Force a full refresh for the site. This can be achieved by pressing CTRL + F5 keys at the same time on your favourite browser (Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, etc.)
- Clear the temporary cache and cookies on your browser to make sure that you have the most recent version of the web page. For instructions choose your browser :

Fix DNS Problems
A Domain Name System (DNS) allows a site IP address (192.168.x.x) to be identified with words (*.com) in order to be remembered more easily, like a phonebook for websites. This service is usually provided by your ISP.
- Clear your local DNS cache to make sure that you grab the most recent cache that your ISP has. For Windows - (Start > Command Prompt > type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter). For details choose your operating system :

- If you can access a website at office or from a 3G network yet it's not working on your computer, it is a good idea to use an alternative DNS service other than your ISPs. OpenDNS or Google Public DNS are both excellent and free public DNS services.
- Check our help page for step-by-step instructions on
how to change your DNS.

Down AGAIN here too. I know DDoS attacks have increased significantly throughout the USA, but seriously, this site has always had problems. |

|
| Merete Holmberg · 22 March 2013 - 11:50 | |
I cant get in to the website, and havnt been able to for weeks. I have tried different browsers and cleaning my cache/cookies. And i get the message: Be right back, We seem to be experiencing some technical difficulties. Is there anyone who know of a solution to this. Would really like to download the stuff i bought after reinstalling the game. |
|
| Melynda Ann Kaufman · 22 March 2013 - 10:06 | |
Pretty sure the site is down.... |
|
| MsJeremy Page · 14 March 2013 - 13:53 | |
Up date your browser, clean your cookies/cache... My game is working fine threw firefox!!! |
|
| Alexis Romain · 14 March 2013 - 11:02 | |
Definitely not up at least on Firefox which so happens to be the browser that runs the fastest on my laptop.. It's been giving the same unable to process your request screen. Any word on when it will be fixed? |
|
| Ruben Schouten · 8 March 2013 - 06:37 | |
This site has the worst uptime I've ever seen... except for sites that don't exist at all. I think the webserver is maintained by the same team that makes the freakin' game, which still has a lot of bugs after years and years of patching. To bad I need this junk to register my game, otherwise I would care a bit about this hopeless EA community being unavailable. |
|
| Annie Gorbet · 7 March 2013 - 21:03 | |
I keep getting the "Oops! We are not able to process your request" page. It wouldn't let me log in, then it finally accepted my login info just now but it won't let me register my game. |
|
| Lexi Harris · 5 March 2013 - 10:30 | |
thesims3.com site is down for me. What can I do to make it work again? |
|
| MsJeremy Page · 4 March 2013 - 10:18 | |
Doesn't matter what browser you use, i have 3 and it still dont work!! When are they gonna fix the problem new game comes out tomorrow |
|
| Keyonna Cox · 3 March 2013 - 14:07 | |
Hey for those people who keep getting "Oops We are not able to process your request." Try using a different browser. i don't know about other but i have Firefox and it keeps giving me that message. so i went back to internet explorer. and it works. |
|
| Meka Hemmons · 3 March 2013 - 11:40 | |
Sims3 keeps crashing in the last couple of weeks. Sometimes before it even loads properly. Sometimes as I play for a bit and try to save. Nothing saves. I recently updated my game per the welcome page suggestion. So I know nothing is wrong with my computer – were there bugs in the last update? What's going on? I need my Sims! |
|
| Bonnie Lofts · 2 March 2013 - 15:48 | |
You cannot access any of the forum discussions. You can get to the title pages but no further. |
|
| MsJeremy Page · 2 March 2013 - 15:15 | |
WTF... Haven't been able to sign in for 2 days now??? |
|
| Fay Otto · 17 February 2013 - 15:01 | |
I've had this issue for a while now. A few weeks, maybe, I'm not really sure how long. My launcher is also messed up, and I'm not sure why. I can't log in to the site, from online, the launcher, or in game, because it keeps saying my password is incorrect. I've already reset it a few times. |
|
| Nana Nomore · 17 February 2013 - 13:25 | |

|
| Andrea Bell Goodwin · 24 January 2013 - 18:22 | |
I keep getting "Oops! we are not able to process your request" on the game launcher and on the website! It's been like this for two weeks. I have emptied my cache and cleared my browsing data. getting VERY annoyed. |
|
| Annalisa DeSisto · 23 January 2013 - 12:58 | |
Has anyone been able to go past the password screen after choosing to see their purchase history in the store tab. It still keeps showing the processing circle with no end. I cleaned out all cookies and cache but it's still not working! |
|
| Nadine Reading · 23 January 2013 - 05:18 | |
Wont let me login, either tells me authorization failed or just keeps showing the processing spinning circle |
|
| Jonathan Schirmer · 10 January 2013 - 06:38 | |
I have been having the same problem as most people here. When I went to the The Sims 3 website and it said "Oops! We are not able to process your request." I realized how to solve it. Anyone that is having this problem, go into your settings of your web browser (Chrome, Explorer, Safari etc.) and go to privacy (in chrome this is in advanced settings at bottom of page), you should see a button saying 'Clear Browsing Data' click this and you need to clear/empty the cache and cookies. Once this is done you will now be able to access the site. If this does not work for you please inbox me through FB and I will help you out. |
|
| Alyse Fletcher · 3 January 2013 - 11:33 | |
the website has not been working on my mac for the past few weeks. it works on my phone and i can login while the game is up but i still can not get on the website. its says "oops. we are not able to process your request." |

| Kara Breanne Fadely · 29 December 2012 - 06:15 | |
The website won't let me get on. And it won't let me sign onto my account through the game. |
|
| Ashlyn Renee Cartwright · 28 December 2012 - 00:36 | |

|
| Roxanne de Jong · 24 December 2012 - 15:07 | |
I were using Firefox. After that I did go to Internet Explorer, the same there. But on google it worked. Today it works again on Firefox.. Wierd, but it works xD |
|
| Dimi Cooreman · 23 December 2012 - 03:09 | |
If you're using Firefox; go and use Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, or whatever. It works for me everywhere but Firefox. |
|
| Roxanne de Jong · 22 December 2012 - 12:44 | |
The site is down on my computer. The site works on my mobile, wtf? Did everything on the list.. |
|
| Kira Reed · 22 December 2012 - 08:59 | |
I can't get into the site, either. Cleared my cache. Done everything and still nada. |
|
| Tesia Webb · 10 December 2012 - 15:49 | |
Is the site down? i cant access it through the game or on internet, just shows the oops dude. also my game keeps shutting off in the middle of playing it. its effecting my calm how do i fix it |
|
| Lissa Bragg · 8 December 2012 - 16:48 | |
I keep getting "opps, cannot process your request" for the site (any part but the forms bizarrely) on my laptop, but not my ipod frustratingly enough. I tried clearing my history but i'm still getting the same message. Any ideas? |
|
| Shåstå Råe L · 4 December 2012 - 11:00 | |
I'm having an issue with the sims 3 website I keep getting this error message "Oops! we are not able to prosses your request" is it just me ? |
|
| Minx Free · 28 November 2012 - 07:21 | |
I am unable to get on the site! The nerd guy is telling me oops :( How can I resolve this |
|
| Giuliana Blázquez Pol · 26 November 2012 - 07:13 | |
You just have to clean your history/cache or delete all the cookies, and the page will be up to you, it worked to me. |
|
| Jason Alan Swinehammer · 24 November 2012 - 04:23 | |
I have the Nerd saying oops... sometimes I get to the point where I can change my password... but this does not work. I've changed my password 3 times now but I cannot login to my account. This is very annoying. I've tried Chrome, Safari and firefox....does not mater. My game plays ok....and I even downloaded the recent patch... but I can't do anything on the site. It also seems strange that I cannot find any information about the new patch for Seasons. Very confusing indeed... come on EA get your act together... I mean... your site is usually not so great... but this is really bad!!! |
|
| Monica E Rubalcava · 23 November 2012 - 18:08 | |
im trying to create an account with a new e-mail and game code but its saying that i have an account already, which i do not. So i tried logging in and nothing happens. Am i doing something wrong |

|
| Melissa Morisette · 18 November 2012 - 14:46 | |
According to this site it says the sims3 site is up, but I still get the "We can't process your request" message when I attempt to visit the site. |
|
| Hannah Summerville · 17 November 2012 - 18:49 | |
I have a sim with a book saying Oops We are unable to process your request. Just great. Right when I get seasons and the limited edition content. -___- |
|
| Emily Lang · 17 November 2012 - 08:49 | |
its been saying that is was unable to process my request since last night |
|
| James Geyer · 14 November 2012 - 23:43 | |
"Oops! We are not able to process your request." This error is often caused by some kind of issue with the credentials cookie. Usually clearing your history/cache will remedy this. Make sure you're clearing ALL of it (Firefox can clear just the last hour, for example, make sure you're clearing All Time). |
|
| Jennifer Loucks · 13 November 2012 - 21:32 | |
Oops! We are not able to process your request. |

|
| M Niobe Lee · 5 November 2012 - 11:19 | |
I can't access the website, or update my game? It keeps asking me to reinstall the update over and over. I uninstalled and reinstalled my latest expansion without the customs and it still won't work? |
|
| Domenica Lorena Sanchez · 30 October 2012 - 13:27 | |
I just updated when I started the game. The website is still down, but the updates are still working. Just update through the Launcher! |
|

|
| Savie Smith · 23 October 2012 - 17:18 | |
I love how it goes down just as I was about to download my custom content from the store... Any idea when the site will be up again? ._. |
|
| Sentea Skye · 23 October 2012 - 15:14 | |
Any clue as to how long this maintenance will last? Only just redownloaded the full set after a reinstallation of Windows... Seems it's just my luck to try and play when the site's undergoing maintenance xD |
|
| Kaite Svensson · 20 October 2012 - 19:20 | |
Does know what's happening? I CAN pull it up in another browser but it won't let me sign in to download. This actually starting to make me mad. =P |
|
| Jillian Bussolari · 18 October 2012 - 15:54 | |
It's been down for so long... You'd think they could post their problems on facebook or give updates as to when they are expecting to be back up and running! |
