I've had this problem for a good 2 days now.
I double click sims 3 in steam, i get to the launcher, I can log in, But once i press play. I get a black screen, it looks like its going to play, Then it just crashes to desktop. This is the Basic sims 3, I had no mods, No expansions. and even if i try it without steam and without the launcher directly from the folder. Its the same result.
I've tried every fix I could fin on the forums and other place, nothing works (not even a clean reinstall). So I decided to come directly to the source.
Please, help me fix this issue. Its pretty annoying that I can't play a game I paid money for.
