Hi there, I am having an issue with sims 3 through steam on Windows 7 64bit, it worked fine about 2-3 months ago, then one day it just never loaded up after the launcher.
when i click play in the launcher, it brings up a black screen with the little loading ring, then crashes to desktop with no error messages.
I have tried all the solutions on the web, i have tried, changing compatibility mode to all available options, running as administrator, clearing cache, reinstalling the game (2 times), adjusting screen resolution and graphic settings, turning off my antivirus program (McAfee), and others.
The expansion packs i have are, University Life, Island Paradise, Pets, and Into the Future.
No Mods or Third Party Content Installed
Here is my DXDiag File

Islo Paradiso does have a lot of problems. Routing issues and the large world with an entire routable ocean are just an example.
