Sims 3 launcher has stopped working

★★★ Apprentice

So, after trying basically everything in the book I still can't get sims 3 to launch. Origin, Steam, doesn't matter. Getting the "Sims3 launcher has stopped working" error. The first time I installed was on a fresh hard drive that had never had Sims on it before. Since then I've uninstalled/re-installed both Sims and origin (using CC cleaner thoroughly). Before anyone asks if I've moved anything from the "my documents>EA>Sims" folder that doesn't exist due to the fact it hasn't run yet. Can anyone think of some solutions and I'll say whether or not I've tried them yet?

@mayornase,

 

I see you PC uses a dual GPU configuration. Please try right-clicking on The Sims 3 icon and look for a "Run using NVIDIA high performance graphic processor" option. If that options is present, please click it and see if The Sims 3 launcher opens.

It was already set to those settings. Tried both anyway and nothing new.

@mayornase,

 

  • Go to Start menu and on the search field write perfmon /rel and push Return
  • A window showing different programs error will open, please look for The Sims 3 (or TS3Launcher.exe) error and double click on it.
  • Copy all the text and paste it here as a response, that may contain useful information about the issue.

Re: Sims 3 launcher has stopped working

@mayornase,

 

Your issue is related with System.BadImageFormatException, which is an issue caused by a faulty or corrupt DLL file. The Sims 3 needs .NET Framework 3 to work and Windows 10 does not include it installed by default, so you might need to install it if it's not present on your system.

 

  1. Go to Start menu and type Windows Features, and press Enter. This brings up the Turn Windows features on or off dialog box. Alternately, open Control Panel, click on the Programs items, and then click on “Turn Windows features on or off” under Programs and Features.

  2. Select the .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) check box, press OK, and reboot your computer if prompted.

@mayornase,

 

Can you try uncheking it, uninstall it and then check it again?
