Hello, I can't play the sims 3 anymore since the update. I play on Windows 7. When I try to start the game I get a message that says the sims have stopped working. Will this be fixed? I guess there aren't many of us using Windows 7 so I think it's unlikely, but I'm sad that I can't play anymore. Otherwise with the update does the sims 3 work well on Windows 11? Are there still installation problems?
Sorry for the mistakes and misunderstanding. I'm using google translate. The French forum doesn't seem very active.

I don't know if it worked for dxdiag. I'm not very good at it.
@Oumie-x Your dxdiag crashed while running and therefore doesn't contain all the usual information. I do think this computer would likely run Windows 10 just fine, if you want to update at some point. But that may not be the main issue.
The Reliability Monitor error points to an issue with DirectX 9, so please manually reinstall DX9, as described here:

If this doesn't help, please look for a Reliability Monitor error (and make sure it's newer, based on the timestamp), and post it here.
Thank you very much for helping me. I installed DirectX 9 but unfortunately the sims do not work yet. So I think I will buy a new computer.
In my opinion the recent update caused the problem.
I could play without problems a few days ago and now I simply cannot run the game anymore. I do not know if there was a way to avoid doing this update, but it is too late. Anyway, thanks again, but unless there is a fix I will have to give up the sims until I buy a new computer.
I would like to know if the sims 3 installs well on windows 11?
@Oumie-x I'm not out of ideas yet, but if you're ready to give up, that's understandable. Let me know if you change your mind, and we can keep troubleshooting on this system.
Sims 3 runs fine in Windows 11. Higher-end hardware means you'll likely need to manually limit your in-game framerates, but that's it. And I can help with the process if you want. I can also help with finding that new computer, anything from offering a second opinion on whatever you've picked out to finding good options in your price range. Feel free to ask if you're interested, whenever you're ready.
