Sims 3 Launcher Won't Open

★★★ Novice

I recently downloaded The Sims 3, as well as two expansion packs. I played the game fine for a few days, but I shut my laptop down and left it for a while. Now, after two days of not playing the game, the Sims launcher won't open. I've tried all three shortcuts as well as through Origin, but nothing works! Any advice?

Did you change anything on your system ? Update to Windows 8.1 ? Install BitDefender ?

 

Try the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps/td-p/714/

  • Do you get any error messages ?
  • What's your operating system ?
  • Did you patch to 1.63 ?

As far as I know, nothing has changed. Every time I try to fix or uninstall the games, it says I can't because the application is running. What can I do to fix that?
