@musicisforlife97 Have you tried playing on the minimum settings, with the game in windowed mode? As the poster immediately below you mentioned, it might be enough to simply play in windowed mode—hit cmd-enter to switch at the Main Menu—but if not, please try lowering your other settings as well.
If that doesn't help, please move your entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Don't add anything to it yet; just see whether you can load a new save properly; it's a good idea to test a few times, to see whether the problem recurs at all.
I will try to do what you suggested, thanks!
I would try to minimize the screen and minimize the graphics and all that but the game literally won't even launch for me anymore lol.
I hope EA fixes it soon.
@musicisforlife97 You can at least put the game in windowed mode by editing options.ini, in Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3. Set fullscreen to 0, and the game should start in windowed mode, that is if it starts at all.
I still think it's worth trying to launch the game from a clean Sims 3 folder though, since it sounds like your launcher might not be cooperating either.
