  • jesspouliche​  Do you see version 0 in the lower-left corner of the launcher?  If so, please do a clean uninstall and reinstall of Sims 3, as described here:

    [Read First] Running Sims 3 in Windows | EA Forums - 8323446

    If you use a third-party antivirus, disable it while reinstalling the game, and don't reenable it until you've tried to play at least once.  As long as you don't do anything else at the same time, your computer should be safe, and afterwards, you can set exceptions for TS3.exe and Sims3Launcher.exe.

  • I used revo to uninstall but i will try again !

    I dont use an antivirus

    Thank you for this i will try and update
