Will I be able to play TS3 ever again?
To make it short: I've been playing TS3 for a week now, having a blast, yadayadayada. Usually my games are heavily moded, however, this time I wanted to Keep things as vanilla as possible so I settled...

We're getting a fair number of reports all of a sudden, as in within the past day or so here, that travel transitions, both with and without the NRaas Traveler mod, are semi-permanently breaking players' games whose systems are on Win 10 (could be others too?). The common factor seems to that switching off UAC as described in the link below seems to help. We're thinking a recent Windows Update might have triggered whatever the underlying problem is.

Yes it was a windows security update breaking things it did that on my Win 7 computer. I changed the default install path to a folder I created for all my games thereby keeping UAC out of the equation all together.

This isn't going to be much help for Win 10 players probably as they get far less choice in these matters, but do you happen to know which security patch it was for Win 7? Can it be avoided entirely or was it part of a monthly package that thus cannot be selected out?
It's was in one of the rollup packages but which one I'm not sure as I use that computer mostly for web surfing it wasn't until I tried to fire up the game a few days ago after the power supply on my main comp died that I realized the game wouldn't start but it had to have been in the last 2 months. As it was working in the middle of December.
And they should be able to change the default install pathway with Win 10. But my Win 10 comp has disc install.
I only installed the Origin version of the Sims 3 on my Win 7 comp to test a way to stop the Launcher from deselecting EP's and SP's which can be done if you remove the Write Permissions for the Load Option config the same way you do for the Featured Items folder. Of course after first making sure everything you want to use had gotten loaded up.
