@robotdog385 So far so good. In Windows go to control panel - programs and features - turn windows features on or off. Check to see if .net framework 3.5 is enabled. If not enabled - turn on - ok - reboot computer - try game.

Thank you @roberta591, this helped sims 3 to finally launch. Though, expansion packs that I have downloaded and are visible in my launcher are not showing up in my game. For example, I am missing saves saying that they aren't available because the expansions are no longer on the system. Whats does this mean?
@robotdog385 make sure the packs are in the game launcher in the content manger tab and that they are enabled.
I have been having the same issue, It opens the launcher just fine, but when I actually launch the game I get a black screen and the windows loading cursor until it eventually (about a minute) says "The Sims 3 is not responding". I upgraded to a larger OS drive and when I reinstalled the Sim 3 it didn't work.
Specs:
OS: Windows 10 Home x64 (up to date)
CPU: Intel i7 6700
GPU: Nvidia GTX 970 (drivers up to date)
RAM: 32 GB
Origin v10.4.22.609286
I tried going through the fix you posted but my .net framework 3.5 was already enabled. Do you have any other advice?
@Nathanos74 Please post your computer's dxdiag - link - how to post dxdiag thank you
@cmarkgraf674 First thing to try is to uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package using the control panel and download and install the package from Microsoft.
I tried this several times and it did not do anything âšī¸ any other suggestions you could think of? Much appreciated!
Hello, I am having kind of the same issue with robotdog345. When I download and install the sims 3 and the packs, and that was no issue. but when I was trying to play it on origin. They said I need to update the NET Framework 3.5 (includes NET 2.0 and 3.0), but it won't install. It keep saying that Windows couldn't find required files to complete the requested changes. Erroe code 0x800F081F. Please help! I don't know what to do.
@alexisbryant79 I am assuming you have a pc. Did you download .net framework from Microsoft? Windows 10 includes .net framework and the download version does not work for Windows 10. You need to open control panel - programs and features - turn windows features on or off - enable .net framework 3.5
@unicorn_vdb26 What file is missing? Did you enable .(not download - the download from MS won't work) net framework 3.5?
Has anybody been able to solve this problem. We really need some help
@supern0vaea in programs and features in the upper left is yurn woindows feature on and off. You need to enable .net framework Just enable both 3.5 and 4,8.
@roberta591Hello, I am having an issue too. I did all of these things and uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and nothing seems to work. I just got a new computer, and it looks like nothing in Island Paradise is working correctly. When a lot has a stilted foundation, it appears as a deck. Then if I add a stilted foundation, the stilts look like planks. The ground textures are not coming through at all. It looks like these issues are isolated to the the Island Paradise expansion, because the other neighborhoods are working fine. Any suggestions?
@alexcassano Sorry for the late reply but I have been very busy. First please post your dxdiag for your new computer. Have you tried to reinstall Island Paradise? Does the game run with IP disabled in the game launcher? Maybe try to uninstall IP in the comtoer;s control panel and reinstall from TS3 store. IP may have been corrupted during installation. After you uninstall IP, run a registry cleaner like ccleaner (there is a free copy) THEN reinstall the pack.
I have tried clearing the cache, uninstalling and reinstalling the whole game, and updating graphics drivers. So far nothing has worked.
