My son reinstalled origin on his laptop yesterday, and reinstalled all the sim 3 packs at first, but when he clicked on play nothing happened. It wouldn't even try to load. So he uninstalled all pack...
oh my god i've been trying to figure out why this was happening to me for days now. i downloaded direct x and it actually worked !! i cant express how thankful i am ! thank you so much @puzzlezaddict !
