@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.
I'm not really ready to give up. However, I'm really not good with computers. I'm not sure if I really installed DirectX 9 correctly. Maybe I made a mistake somewhere.
But if you really want to help me we can continue I'm willing to try all your ideas. That's really nice.
