@SamanthaF97 Where exactly in the process of trying to launch the game do you see the error? Please also run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

@SamanthaF97 Please make sure .NET Framework 3.5 is enabled on your computer. Hit Windows key-R and enter "appwiz.cpl" without quotes. In the File Explorer window that opens, click "Turn Windows features on or off," and you'll see this:
.NET Framework 3.5 is the first entry; make sure the box next to it is filled in. If not, click the box, let Windows download the framework, restart your computer, and try to launch Sims 3.
If it still doesn't work, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.

@SamanthaF97 If your laptop runs Sims 4, it runs Windows (or macOS). Please follow the instructions I posted.

@SamanthaF97 Your dxdiag lists a couple of errors related to .NET, although it's not clear which version is throwing the error. So please start by running a couple of basic checks on your Windows system files. Here's how:
Restart your computer, and manually run any pending Windows updates. Hit Windows key-i, select Update & Security, and click the button to check for updates. Then download and run the .NET repair tool from Microsoft:

Even though the download page doesn't say so, it's supported in Windows 8.1.
When you're done, test the game. If it still doesn't work, please run another dxdiag.
