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.
