@kurovice That often happens with mismatched registry entries, so you'll need to uninstall Sims 3, clean your computer's registry, and reinstall. If you're not comfortable editing the registry yourself—removing the wrong entry can prevent your computer from working properly—you can use a tool like Piriform's CCleaner (the free version is fine).
