Completely Unplayable

I downloaded it and it won't let me play. I even took all of the proper steps to "fix" it.

I try to press play in the home-screen and it gives me an error.

I do the process of renaming and removing the sims 3 folder out of the Electronic Arts directory. Then after that it refuses to open, so I restart the computer. It opens up again.

Then im allowed to play for as long as the app doesn’t close. Because then I have to repeat the cycle just for a few minutes of play.
