Re: Sims 3 Showtime simport problem

Could you inform me how to bypass the launcher? When I put my CD in it tells me to accept it and then it wants me to re-install it. Sorry if this is a noob question. I have always just used the launcher. And my origin wont let me start up games without the CD for some reason so that's how I have done it. The black screen issue isn't really that much of an issue, the game actually  runs pretty good as it is and I have at least 8 expansions currently loaded and one stuffs pack. But the more I put on the more it slows so I was just wondering if there was a way to fix it. It is no big problem for me it still runs pretty fast which it doesn't sound like it should by someone else's reply. I will go to the link and read up on the screen issue.

Info won't fit let me see if it will go in a post by its self.

Edit: By the way the deleting stuff worked, thank you.

    your very welcome and i'm pleased it's solved for you 🙂  the dxdiag can be posted in sections split the whole thing up in multiple posts and copy and paste from the text file to a new post in your thread. you could also insert a spoiler tag by clicking on the 5th icon on the toolbar this way, the post is a bit more readable also something as simple as using diskcleanup and defragging the computer can free up space on the computer

    I am really happy that someone helped me and I thought it was fixed but then I tried to open my sim booklet that poped up in the corner but it wouldn't let me it made a noise like it was selected or something then did nothing. Sorry to be a bother to you. At least the simport thing popped up this time, I will try in a new world. I can go to my page and accept to go to peoples places and bring them to my game but then I can't open my book to host my own or send someone. It's frustrating but I am sure it can be fixed I just have to keep trying different things. So I am off to create a new world really fast.

    Yes I actually have six sims in my house lol.

    Problem is solved thank you. All  did was call on my phone and have my sims move to a different town as you suggested. It popped up and works! Thank you sooo much! I was afraid I wouldn't be able to play this game to its full ability.
