Sims 3 wont start after launcher

★★★ Newbie

Hello, 

 

Every time that I try to start sims 3 it will not go past the launcher. I press play and nothing happens whatsoever. I have all the packs installed and also the game on the EA Launcher. Please help because this is very frustrating. 

 

Thank you,

@Vrael147  Does your computer have a 12th- or 13th-gen Intel processor?  Sims 3 doesn't start correctly on most of these CPUs.  The workaround is to limit the game to one core as it starts to load, which you can do with any of the methods listed in the accepted solution in this thread:

If that's not your issue, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.
