    Ensure you are on at least Patch 1.32 and have "The Sims 3: Showtime" installed. If you are unsure about the Patch, then load your Game Launcher and hover over the icon in the bottom left corner. If the first 3 digits are "1.32" or greater, then you are ready to go. If not, then you must update your game.
