I've done this and it still isn't working.. It'll act like its going to load but it just makes my screen smaller and has the rainbow loading wheel... any suggestions please? I just want to play Sims 3.. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything..
@Chanasl5 Try moving your entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts, if you haven't already. The game will create a new folder the next time you open the launcher.
If that doesn't or didn't help, open that Sims 3 folder and find the file labeled options.ini. Open it (TextEdit works fine), cmd-F to search for "fullscreen" (without quotes), and set it to 0 rather than 1.
Im having the same issue @Chanasl5 is having. I did what @puzzlezaddict recommended, and the game did indeed work, but i lost all of my save files and downloads. Good thing i didnt delete that folder 😅. So back to square one I suppose...
@xXHOLYSHIZZLEXx The file causing the issue is Version.tag, which I didn't know when I wrote the first comments. So you could delete that and put your original Sims 3 folder back if you wanted. Or you could move your saves and other content from the old Sims 3 folder to the new one.
@puzzlezaddict I removed the version.tag file, and It still won't work. It's making my screen tiny and rainbow wheeling, and not responding. I don't know what else to do.
