I took up your suggestion and cleaned the registry up, still no dice. It's disheartening to hear that so many have had issues with this OS. ☹️ I hope I can find a solution because I'm really not interested in TS4 at all, not to mention the $ invested into TS3 :/ But thank you for trying to help
So seeing that TS4 had a 48 hr trial, I decided to give it a go. There were a few pleasant surprises but I just missed the CAS and the open world too much. BUT it saved my TS3 game because it crashed my OS and forced another windows 10 install and now TS3 is working perfectly. I want to slap Bill Gates with a dead fish for my lost week lol.
