Hi, I have 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1215U   1.20 GHz computer.

After being able to launch the game for the first time and saving the world then trying to launching it again it says " a serious error has occurred while downloading"

Solutions I tried and didn't work;

  1. Reinstalling the game
  2. Task manager CPU settings
  3. Changing folder location (works at first but after saving and launching the game again it doesn't work)
  4. Stopping Onedrive sync
  5. Deleting Onedrive
  6. Turning off antivirus
  7. Downloading the game from steam then EA
  8. Creating a new different world
  9. Changing file name( also works at first) 
  10. Downloading a new launcher

puzzlezaddict  The folder that I mentioned that I changed its location is;

Documents> Electronic Arts> The Sims 3

And when I pasted this to Command Prompt the command you mentioned it didn't show that the file was in OneDrive i think it means that the problem is not OneDrive.
