Game won't start...Expansion issues?
Hello fellow simmers.
Been a loooong time since i was here, still see some familiar names posting, nice to see your all still around! :)
Excuse the ramble but i always think the more info the better right...
Just returning to steam after a 2 year break so this issue might be fairly obvious to fix but i'm rusty and trying to navigate round Win10 when i've been using a Mac for 2 years is frying my brain quite rapidly here!
Initally i stupidly decided to uninstall my expansions so i was left with just the base game, there i ran into problems straight away, wouldn't load. Decided in haste to just uninstall and start with a new fresh install, this is where the problems begin... (in hindsight i should have done a cleanup before reinstall!)
The game won't start.. launcher says there is an error during startup and to check the log. (which i can't find!)
Starting from the TS3W.exe is saying something about my base game being incompatible with the exps installed. (now its saying its unable to start game but it said the ep part previously)
Now looking at my steam, its saying i have no Eps installed just the base game. I can only assume i have some leftover files somewhere thats causing issues but due to Win10 being a mess (to me at least) i can't find anything!
I really don't want to reinstall yet again..please tell me there is another way around?
Thanks for any help :smile:
