see attached. it just says there was an error during startuo. please see the log for more details. but i cannot locate the log
@ChaChaPoof That error usually means the registry keys for the game don't match what Origin was expecting. Please uninstall the game, then clean your computer's registry of all Sims 3-related entries either manually or using a tool like Piriform's CCleaner (the free version is fine). Then clear Origin's cache:

Restart your computer, and run Origin as an admin: right-click on the Origin shortcut and select "Run as administrator." Try to install the Sims 3 base game only, no packs yet. Let me know whether it works.
