If i was you i shouldnt download windows 10 yet and stay by 8 i got 8,1 btw euhm it should be fine after years but right now windows 10 still have in general to much problems, its why i havent yet either because some people did and they told me how much problems it still has.

It can mess up your computer badly by downloading 10 already and then you should need to find out how to get 8 back you know so i suggest you not to.

Re: Sims 3 on Windows 10

★★ Guide

The version of The Sims 3 downloadable from Origin including its Packs uses EA's own tech and is compatible with Windows 10.

 

So if you are having problems, redeem your codes from disc versions on www.thesims3.com and download the Origin version.

 

Also try the following

 

  • In the Search bar (bottom left) type: Internet Explorer
  • Click the IE link
  • Click the cog in the top right of the browser
  • Select Internet Options
  • On the GENERAL tab under BROWSING HISTORY click DELETE
  • Make sure COOKIES AND WEBSITE DATA is selected and PRESERVE FAVORITES WEBSITE DATA is de-selected then click DELETE
  • Run The Sims 3

Note: Deleting Internet Files from Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera will NOT suffice. It HAS to be Internet Explorer.

 

Also, create a The Sims 3 icon on your desktop, right click it and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. Being an Admin on the PC is not the same as running a program as Administrator unless you disabled UAC in your Windows settings. If you don't know what UAC is, you didn't disable it.

For Sims 3 I did the compatibility stuff(On Windows 10 laptop) and Ill be doing something and the music stops for a min then comes back on for 5 seconds and blacks out then the screen will go to my desktop and tell me its not working. Troubleshooter wont fix it. They game runs really slow too.

My Sims 3 will not load properly in Windows 10.  I don't get compatability mode just compatability troubleshooting.  I cannot get it to load into the my games section.

Right click on the game short-cut and choose properties. There you should be able to choose compatibility mode
